Hiya
I have been off work sick for a whole week with a kidney infection, this is day 4 of 7 day course of antibiotics.

Still feeling lousy, really nauseous esp aft onwards and so lethargic and worn out ca only look after kids or do anything for about 1.5hr. Sleeping so much - 14hr last night.

I am a contractor and work expected me back in today. Started taking iron tablets and checked thyroid was ok and is.

Is this usual to go on and on like this? Need to work until end of Jan til 28wk to pay for maternity?

Had pre eclampsia twice before and there was protein in urine but blood pressure was up but only to 130/88 last appointment.

Hmm

Not sure I can be much help but I had the same at 29 wks in my last pregnancy. However for me it was just really severe pain in the kidney area which was on and off excruciating for about 3 days. I ended up hospitalised and on pethidine. But as soon as the antibiotics kicked in it went away completely and I was back at work in a day or two after I'd caught up on sleep.

How certain are they of your diagnosis? It certainly sounds like yours has been going on rather a long time.
