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...

Thank you.

Yes enterprise allowance is what I meant haha. Well they're gonna check up on me soon I think. I had to estimate how much I'd make per month and I've barely sold anything :-( I'm just worried. I've woken up now and feel sicky and I just feel so exhausted even though I slept loads yesterday and...

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...

Ketones have gone now but they were really high and myblood sugar was 17. I still feel so sick and my side hurts and km fed up haha

The ketones have gone now thankfully but still feeling really sick and my side is still aching. The nurse hasn't rang back yet

I'm definitely not better at all :( my side is still aching and I still feel rather sick. I can't see any difference whatsoever :(

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...

Yes. E. coli. I'm so mad. I feel so sick and fed up. I've been on antibiotics for a whole week, making me feel sick and tired, for literally no reason. A few weeks ago someone put me on the wrong ones, too. Arghhhhh. My scan has thankfully been moved forward to 21st April now, that's one...

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

I was diagnosed when I was 6, I'm now 24. I think it dropped very, very late. I'd say only a few years ago. I used to rebel against it as a child, and then as a teenager I'd try to dismiss it as much as possible to be normal. I'd go out drinking a lot etc and I just didn't care. Thankfully now...

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 :(...

Hi. It does get easier, trust me. I can't really remember my diagnosis much as I was only 6. (24 now) all I remember was wanting to be alone, not eating, being tired all the time and confused. It was an awful time for me. I lost 2 stone in a week... but I promise it gets easier. Especially with...

Nope, no fever. I just feel really weird, I can't explain it. Suddenly ill just feel really tired, and like I've got a hangover. I'm keeping my food down, my blood sugars are fine and I've got no ketones. I just don't know

Of course it's normal. Anything and everything can affect your blood sugar levels. Especially stress! Whether it's moving house, work, relationships etc. Also when you're ill your bloods will be higher. Don't be too hard on yourself. The slightest thing sends my bs's high! If I cry at a film...

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...
