Cystitis

[DumbBlondeKelly]

Any good cures that don't involve pumping up with drugs and chemicals??

I have a horrendous bout at the moment and find it hard to stay off the loo for more than a few minutes. The pain is excrutiating.

I try to drink cranberry juice as I heard that helps. Wondered if you ladies knew anything else that might help?

Awwww Kelly (((hugs)))) :hugz: :hugz: thats horrid.

Hmmm... okay

Drink drink and drink plenty of water!
Cranberry juice and barley juice work too.

Oh and I just got this off the net:

To some extent alkalising the urine helps to eradicate the germs and also soothe the bladder. You can try using bicarbonate of soda, 5ml (1 tea spoon) in half a glass of water, two or three times a day, or one of the over the counter cystitis remedies.[/b]

If it starts getting worse though or continues I would see a doctor sweety, it might be some infection caused by the birth. :flower4u:

Hope this helps you.

Thanks Lottie - I'll try those (though the bi carbs doesn't sound too pleasant to drink!).

I will see the doctor if it hasn't cleared up by Wednesday

I agree Lottie...those things normally work for me...must admit,I have not tried the bi carb though.
