Cystemme.

BrigitBigKnickers · 14/01/2010 19:54

cranberry juice

dr's first thing for antibiotics

Cathpot · 14/01/2010 19:57

Both those suggestions are good, but if it doesnt clear up soon or if you get a dull ache in your back go to the doctor, if it moves to your kidneys it is not nice.

ABs the only thing that work for me when I have an actual infection

But cranberry tablets (healthfood shop) worked well as a preventative

clayre · 14/01/2010 19:59

i agree with the cranberry tablets, i have only had one infection in the last 4 months instead of one a month!

potassium citrate works fantastic.

OP-are you sure it´s cystitis?

I recently thought I had it as it "stung" when I wee´d.

Actually had a small cut so as long as I (sorry if tmi) kept the sore skin out of the way until it healedwas OK!

Thanks everyone! I sent DH out for some potassium citrate last night and symptoms have eased already. Its the first time ive had this and its bloody awful!!

Thanks for replying will keep in mind the cystemme if this happens again.
