oh becca, my heart and my kidney (the right one, the left one takes all of his healthy kidney privilege for granted and still has some work he needs to do before he will ever realize how good he has it) go out to you.

i hope you didn't end up with a fever or anything, i ignored a UTI at CT 2006 and it spread to my kidney and gave me this raging fever as soon as i got home. kind of scary.

things like unsweetened cranberry juice and acidophilus are a good way to balance out the antibiotics and help your kidney and stuff (you probably knew that though)

also, i'm a nerd about kidneys and learned a fair amount about kidney stuff when my kidneys spent a good part of 2006 and 2007 making my life miserable so if you ever want to talk about kidney infection related stuff...

but i hope you feel better soon

aww, a kidney nerd. that's so cool. i had an old friend who had to get dialysis 3 times a week so i'd spend a lot of time with him, we'd talk a bit about kidneys too! thankfully for neither of us it is, or will get *touch wood* that bad.

yeah, i had a nasty fever for a couple of days. i went to the hospital and by yesterday the fever had broke and the pain had gone down somewhat. i think that things are improving even more today!

and, yes, i'm totally on the *real* (i.e. not sweetened) cranberry and bio-k - which is basically acidophillis extreme... do you have that in the U.S.? it's vile but wow does it make the body feel good all over!

thanks for the wishes love. ;) i'm on the mend. i swear.

wonderful to hear you're recovering. i've never heard of bio-k but that doesn't neccessarily mean we don't have it in the us as i haven't heard of a lot of things.

anyway, i'm sending kidney love <3

Bio-K is in the fridge section of health food stores. I've seen it at Rainbow CoOp in SF, so they definitely carry is on the US west coast.
It kind of tastes like Yop.

I prefer capsules cause they're easier. Some people prefer the liquid type. The idea is that the liquid type is more alive.

Genestra brand acidophilus is pretty much the gold standard. It's cultured from human vaginas and is therefore the correct strain for being used in humans! I reccomend it, if you can get some and afford it.

I hope you feel better soon! Kidney infections can really take the wind out of your sails at the best of times, so I'm sure your healing will speed up once you get over this hurdle.

the good thing about those is that once you do the er stint you feel better pretty quickly. at least i did, and i'm sure hoping the same for you. *sends kidney-bug-fighting-juju*

Ahh, I'm so sorry! I spent five nights in the hospital and on IV because of a kidney infection -- it's serious business! I'm glad to hear you're home and on the mend - good luck!

Be careful with antibiotics if they give you any. I always get yeast infections from those, and now's not a good time for you to get anything like that!

Oy vey. Much sympathy. Kidney infections suck, but I'm glad you're starting to feel better.
