My UTI problems go on and on.
Here’s what happens- i know I have a UTI because i suffer all of the symptoms.
I take the drugs and I also drink a shed load of water- as in 6 litres a day ( 2.5 in the night, in bed- 3 large bottles close to me in the bed )
When I submit a urine specimen to be tested, guess what? It’s clear coloured and ‘ looks healthy’
Traditionally, when you have a UTI you have dark, smelly urine… so the story goes.
Well you try having a UTI and having dark urine when you drink 15 pints of water every day! It’s not gonna happen, is it?!
Amazingly though, even the urologist can’t seem to get his head around that?!
He says – you now have far less inflammatory cells in your sample – derrrrr well of course I bloody do- it’s so bloody dilute, there are BOUND TO BE A LESSER CONCENTRATION OF WHITE BLOOD CELLS.
But I can’t convince him of this.
SO this last specimen ( yesterday ) I didn’t drink any water for 6 hours.
Then I got a vial full of pee from my bladder.
Well imagine if you blew a nostril full of wet snot into a glass of Orange Squash — yep, that’s what it looked like.
Can’t wait to hear the results this time …
