Well, just found out today that my UTI bug is RESISTANT to Levaquin, which I've been on since Friday. That would explain why I'm not feeling much better, huh?? :( *grumble*

So...they've switched me to Macrobid 100mg, 2 times a day, for 10 days now. I am hoping this switch will make the difference and I'll be able to get out of some of this pain.

Plus, I'm dumb... I worked this job fair today with my Avon uplines and like an idiot wore heels. I thought I'd be able to sit, but instead spent 10-2:30 on my feet, luring people into our booth. By 2:30 I hurt so bad in the feet, legs, back, and bladder that my uplines thought I was going to pass out and they sent me home with orders to rest (was supposed to be there until 4 or 4:30).

BUT at least I got 5 new members of my downline (with potential for more in the next week when I do call-backs), which makes up for the fact that I've lost a couple in the last few months. AND I met another girl who's also struggling to build her Avon business, and we discovered we got married at the same resort in Jamaica ONE WEEK apart in July 2003, and that we both left our jobs for health reasons last August, and that we both took up Avon in Sept. We had lunch together and made plans to do it again in the next few weeks.

SOOOOO despite the pain, I'm glad I went -- good came from my suffering ;)

NOW I am gonna spend the rest of my evening LAYING DOWN :)

Hope you feel better soon, Jen. Nurses' orders, get some rest.

Club UTI is still here to meet your needs, Jen. :kissing: The wonderful thing about Club UTI is that the symptoms of a plain old flare or a UTI induced flare are magically lifted during your stay!!! So kick back, put your feet in this hot tub/massager for your tootsies and enjoy any DVD you can imagine. We have a full library of comedies, drama, chic flicks - you name it. :) Watch by yourself in your cozy room or in our own movie theater with some other folks. It's up to you!

We can get to work building that IBS wing pronto! I believe Ty Pennington and crew will be doing it. Bring your lawn chair, binoculars and a towel to wipe up your drool... ;)

I need the IBS wing too -- totally constipated from the extra pain meds I've been taking, but expecting the switch to diarrhea any day now!!! Yikes.... :yikes:

Kim,

:biglaugh: thanks, I am glad there will be an IBSer's wing. Complete with ultra-soft toilet paper, gentle laxatives for the IBS-C's, and cabinets full of Immodium A-D for us IBS-D'ers, right???

I also heard Ty Pennington and crew were putting in an IC safe pool complete with slide so we can act like kids. Also made sure we got Duran Duran to add us to their North American tour list. Private viewing on the lawn for ICers only. :) :flower: :smile tee :dance: :dance: We can be their next video vixens for Girls on Film.(or Rio, the sailboat rocked)


Just thought a laugh may be in order,
Barb

I already talked to you this morning but I've given you the same orders as Nurse Barb and that is to rest, push fluids and take care of you. Have hubby rent you some more movies and snuggle up with your heating blanket and just be comfy, warm and restful with Paddington at your side of course :)

I'll be talking to you tomorrow to see how your new med is working and if you're feeling better.

I think I need a suite at Club UTI as well, would that come with a massage therapist and understanding urologist to treat the pain as well? With Olive Garden delivered. :woohoo:

Talk to you tomorrow morning, I hope you're resting this evening.

Get well soon!

I hope you start to feel better soon, Jen! Sounds like you have been through a lot lately. Get some rest! :grouphug:

Whooo hooo :woohoo: Just tested my urine at home and no more nitrites!!!! The Macrobid is working and my UTI is getting the heck out of here. Now, it's just a matter of waiting for my bladder to settle down all the way after the infection. I hate how IC makes the pain and frequency last longer after an infection :mad:

But at least it's gone!!!!!! :) :)
