Kidney infection

I’m feeling very sorry for myself. Spent 7 days soldiering on with all over body aches and a fever. It all came to a head in the early hours of this morning when I could barely move from the back pain and started peeing blood. Call to 101 sent me to A&E and I have a full blown kidney infection. The doctor said he’s never seen a urine strip change so purple so quickly! I’ve had one dose of IV antibiotics and thankfully am being sent home with 10 days of penecilcllin and strict bed rest.

Please tell me I’m going to feel better soon!

Sorry to hear you are feeling ill. With the correct antibiotics lots of the symptoms are likely to clear quickly. However, it has typically taken a week before I have stopped feeling tired. Hot water bottles baths and drinking lots of water helped me.
