UTI? So much pain and bleeding

[scoopoftheday]

I know everything seems worse in the middle of the night but I am in absolute agony.

I feel like I am going to wet myself then when I go to the toilet (about every 15 mins currently) there's hardly any wee, but immense pain.

I'm also bleeding when I wipe.

I am going to try my GP first thing in morning but right now am just trying to drink lots of water. Hopefully they'll give me antibiotics.

Poor dh has to be up early tomorrow but I am going between the bed and ensuite so I don't wake the kids using the main bathroom. I have work too but I am WFH so hopefully I'll get by.

(TMI, I keep thinking I need a poo, theres a lot of pressure, but nothing comes when I push)

I feel like crying.

I’ve just recovered from one. Still have a tender abdomen . I found D Mannose helped along with cranberry tablets when I finished the antibiotics. They are horrible. My cat also had one at the same time!

I used to get persistent cystitis & would very occasionally bleed but not clots so hopefully your doc can find the cause.

if it’s cystitis I recommend Waterfall D-Mannose supplements. It’s the only thing that’s kept cystitis at bay for me.
