Ok so... as you all know last week I went doctors and discovered I had a SLIGHT kidney infection. They gave me three days worth of antibiotics, which didn't help. So on Saturday I had to go hospital and get more. The sickness is slowly going, but my right side feels like it's getting worse :( he...

I'm sure all of you know how much I post about kidney infections... seems I have one again, only having had one a few weeks ago. It seems to me that the main cause is alcohol. Does this happen to anyone else? The last time I drank was about a month ago when I fell on my coccyx... think maybe I...

No, all they had to do was dip it and then ring me to see if there was any bacteria. That's the bit I was waiting for and they told me to wait for. Turns out I do have a kidney infection

No all they had to do was dip it and then ring me to let me know.

I know, it's just annoying having to wait around etc, when all they have to do is dip it quickly. I wouldn't mind so much if the woman didn't tell me they'd let me know earlier today

There's definitely not that many people where I live. This doctors are always messing things up. Never give people appointments. Always messing up my prescriptions. The list goes on haha think I'm gonna change doctors

Anyone else's doctors just don't have a clue? My kidney has been aching a little bit so this morning I rang up my doctors to make an appointment. I rang at dead on 8am when they open, didn't get through til about 8:20, and by then, there were no appointments left. They asked me to come in and do...

I've heard things before about type one diabetics having shorter life expectancies, but I'm not sure. I was talking to some vile person earlier on a forum and they said "good luck with your f***ed pancreas and short life expectancy!" Which tbh did upset me. Is it all just how well you look...

Main question is if it's normal for it to ache when my bladder is full

Thank you, I'll ring tomorrow. I just always worry about wasting their time haha. But last time I went, the doctor said even if my kidneys are damaged, they shouldn't ache

As some of you may know, I had a kidney infection about a month ago. The doctor gave me a two week course of antibiotics, however, he said to stop taking them by day 7 if I felt better. (Which I did) Recently my right side has been aching ever so slightly... last night I needed to go for a wee...

Hi all, so as you know I fractured my coccyx two weeks ago... I've been taking codeine every day, but I'm running out. I understand you have to be careful with codeine as it's addictive, but my coccyx still really hurts and I'm not sure what to do :( I understand this isn't really to do with...

Hi all! The other day I made an emergency prescription, as I had lost my test strips whilst out (I know, it's bad, but it happens) when I went into the pharmacist (the day after, when they said they'd be there) and they were searching for them for ages, then finally handed me them. they kinda...

Ah right ok. I'm not gonna bother taking any, as sometimes I do have randomhypos and the thought scares me . Thank you

Thank you. Yeah I'm not gonna bother with them after a second thought, gonna try natural things instead !

A little, yes. Stressed about money and what not. I definitely don't wanna e taking even more pills than I already am so thank you I will try something else

Hi all, Was just wondering if anyone here takes sleeping tablets. Lately I've been suffering with a bit of insomnia. It takes me ages to get to sleep, and then I wake up throughout the night and can never get back to sleep. I'm interested in maybe getting some sleeping tablets to help, but...

Hi all. Still hurting but managed to get myself one of those neck pillows you take travelling with you. It's helping a lot! Also having codeine but it's making me really tired still [emoji854][emoji854]

Yes, the nurse at a&e but I have noooo idea where to get one! It's really painful this morning :( feeling sorry for myself haha

I think it made me feel sick because I hadn't eaten much with it, here's hoping anyway!
