So I know I'll have to have a c section when I have my first baby. (I'm not pregnant, no where near, thank god, not ready just yet!!!) But I just want to know, why? I've read a few things as to why but I'm a little confused.

What does ctl mean? Thankkks. (Yes I know it's high, I have a cough and slight kidney infection and feel like poop haha)

Hi guys. It's me again. Kidney girl. ‍♀️[emoji23][emoji849] as you all know I've been ill with kidney infections / UTI's now since December. I've been on about 8 different courses of antibiotics. None worked. I've had scans. Bloods taken. All came back ok. Well last week... guess what.... DUN...

Hello everyone. Last night I found out that my fiancé of two years has been messaging another girl behind my back, a girl he works with. He told her that when he was cuddling me, he wished it was her. That she is gorgeous. That he had dreams about her and woke up thinking about her. I threw up...

Heyy guys. Just a quick question about nitrofurantoin. I take one a day, at night time. When I wake up I am extremely sleepy. I can barely keep my eyes open right now and I feel SO drowsy. They're 100mg. Is this normal? Thanks

Hi everyone. Just wondering if this happens to anyone else. Tonight I have some how forgotten if I've taken my night time insulin (levemir). I've had type one diabetes for 18 years now, and I've barely ever forgotten, but sometimes it just happens. Wondering what to do? I don't want to...

Hey guys! Good news - I don't have to go on an IV drip. BUT, I am now on my 7th course of antibiotics... I have to take two a day for 7 days, and then take one a day for 28 days! ‍♀️ they tested my urine and it had high protein and glucose in it, even though my blood sugar was fine. (I'll try...

Hey everyone - went for my scan today and there's no sign of any kidney stones which is good - however, I may have to go into hospital and get put on a drip for stronger antibiotics as they're still not working... must just be a really, really stubborn infection... anyone else had to do this...

Hey all. I've finally got my scan tomorrow for my kidney - the doctors didn't give me any instructions about what to do beforehand. Apparently you have to drink water an hour before and not go for a wee? My friend also told me not to eat after 8pm tonight - but that can't be right surely...

Hello. I'm still ill, and have been for about two months now. Basically, I have a concern. I've recently been put on ESA, (employment support allowance) to help start up my business. I only get this money for six months. I worked so hard to get to where I am, I went to countless meetings and...

Still not feeling any better. So now I'm on more antibiotics to see if these ones work! I might just not bother taking them! It's getting ridiculous. I've had about five courses now and none have worked. I'm fed up!!! It's my birthday on Thursday and I wanna have a drink or two. Fmlllll! Scan...

Hi all. As I'm sure EVERYONE on here knows by now I've been ill with a kidney infection for about two months. I've been on about seven courses of antibiotics. Two were the wrong ones. I'm on another course now, amoxicillin, and I've had ketones since last night. They were quite high last night...

Anyone else have as many problems with the doctors surgeries as much as me? Not only did they give me the wrong antibiotics last week (now I'm on even more and it's my birthday next week...) but I rang up this morning to get an emergency prescription for ketostix. (Mine got left open:(...)The...

As you all know I've been suffering with an ongoing kidney infection now for almost two months. I've been on antibiotic after antibiotic and it's not shifting. For the last week I've been on the wrong one, so now I'm on a different course... the thing is, none of my family or bf seem to...

I just had a call off the doctors and turns out I've been on the wrong antibiotics for the last week!!! So now I have to go on even more antibiotics!!! I am so fed up. I feel like crying! Back onto amoxicillin for another week now! :( arghhhhhh

Hi all. As most of you know I have a slight kidney infection, have had numerous antibiotics and it hasn't gone. I keep sweating at night, even though the window is open and the fan is on. I don't even feel hot. I feel like I need the covers over me. I just woke up and my whole body is sweaty :(...

And I'm still not feeling any better, whatsoever. I know it's a seven day course, but surely by now I'd be feeling some kind of benefit? Went for a huge walk today, walked over 13,000 steps, and it made me feel sick. My side was starting to ache quite a lot and felt like I had a stitch. It seems...

Hi all. Is it normal to have ketones whilst your blood sugars are high, or is it because I'm not well? I've had an ongoing kidney infection for months now. Haven't had ketones, apart from yesterday when I tested my blood and it was 21! Tested my ketones and they were not low, not high, just in...

You'd think I was making this up, right?! [emoji23] went back to the doctors today and she dipped my wee. She said there was protein, blood and sugar in my urine and gave me more antibiotics. (Trimethoprim). She said she doesn't know if I still have an infection, or if I have kidney stones. She...
