I think I have a U.T.I. or a bladder infection or something. I've never had one before but that is what it is feeling like, (after I googled the symptoms). So I got some cranberry juice and probiotic yogurt because I am ALL about the natural remedies (also googled).

I'll let you know if it works.

And this morning, rather than buying some sort of scrub to exfoliate my skin, I just used Celtic sea salt (which I use instead of regular salt) and honey.

My skin is SO soft. You should try it.

I think they make all natural cranberry pills as well.

Shame you don't live a little more south where a cranberry buffet would be on the menu today.

be careful though, cause if it stays infected too long it could move up to your kidneys (happened to me on my first UTI). which is an awful, awful pain.

That's impressive Binny. You went from Eewwwwwwww, to OOooooo in like 3 seconds.

It's Thanksgiving here, so just thought I'd drop by and wish you a happy almost Friday!!

Drink LOTS and LOTS of water!!! Really! Feel better...UTI's SUCK bad! :(

oi, I used to have those so bad when I was a teen. Make sure it's 100% cranberry, because sugar seems to produce yeast and all the stuff going on. Anyway, TMI, Im sure. And go to the clinic if i t doesnt get better in a couple days, because you dont want to get a kidney infection. Ive been there and its very very painful.

Get better soon!!

I've tried all kinds of natural rememdies but usually end of having to call the doc for an antibiotic. Don't forget, it's a bacterial infection and if it wants to be there it will. :) It can hurt.

New boyfriend + burning when you pee = Binsk with an STD.

Hey anonymous,

Actually no, but thanks for caring and shit.

Is Celtic sea salt better than... non-Celtic sea salt? (For eating purposes.)

Memphis said...

Ah, the glories of a newly revived love life. And the infections and complications that sometimes go with it. I hope you feel better.

Fluids, juice...think you got the pre antibiotics route covered.

I'm not sure how we don't know each other when we have similar blog rolls and I'm a Leafs fan (as well?), but I'll be adding your site to my reads!

Raymi Lauren said...

actually when you have long bouts of not doing it then are having the sex all of a sudden a uti is common, dont worry. holy fucking jealous readers re: anonymous std comment. fucking LAME.

Sassy said...

Let me know if it works....I'm so prone to UTI's....you know apparently you can get them from too much sex...

Just sayin.

wopanese said...

So, yeah. I'm volunteering, albeit late in the game, apparently.

Dammit.

But, hey, might as well finish with a bang... :)

And yes, sex after not having had intercourse for a lengthy period, does make a UTI more likely - simply from all that extra friction, unusual positions, strange bacteria etc etc..

drink many fluids.

No, wait...

How about this for an answer - this means he is not right for you. Dump him and come large to the wop.... :)

Seriously though, hope you feel better (or already do!)
