Pyelonephritis - omfg!

[TossedSaladsAndScrambledEggs]

Sorry to be dramatic, but I have never felt so rough in my life! Anyone else have any experience of it?

Started getting pain when peeing last week, started on trimethoprim but within 2 days was being sent to a&e by ooh dr with rigors, nearly fainting, vomiting and back pain and literally the worst headache I have had in my life!

Discharged after some IV abx and felt a little better, but have just had to change to a

Sorry...

Have just had to change abx as I am still feeling very wobbly when on my feet and still getting night sweats.

Anyone else had this and how long does it take you to get better? Gp signed me off for another week off work today, but I have so much to do for Xmas and right now I am good for nothing...

It's sounds like a nasty bout you've had. You have my sympathy. I've had this a couple of times but never needed hospitalised. It's ghastly all the same. It may be you will feel 'ropey' till antibiotics are finished.

I hope you are drinking lots and lots of water. I hope you feel much better soon.

Yes drinking lots of water, but oh the pain when I then go!

Did you find the shivers etc get worse while you are peeing/just after?
