Such a relief, a Dr who understands.

 I've had a worrying week.. since seeing the new Dr at our surgery, I've had several hospital appointments, he said it was very necessary to follow up on all the urinary infections I've had over the last 4 years. 

  I had the dreaded full bladder scan, Wednesday  and it was fine. I wasn't desperate for the loo, as I have been in the past. I worried I hadn't drunk enough water! But all ok, kidneys and bladder no abnormity discovered. And the two young women were lovely. Didn't rush me and helped me on and off the  bench.

Yesterday afternoon  a cystoscopy was next.. I've had them before, not too awful, but not pleasant and the risk of an infection very probable. So I asked right away for antibiotics, In the past I've had antibiotics.  And the Consultant agreed with me because of my history of repeated UTIs, so  he prescribed a low dose antibiotics for 3 months and my app. will be re-booked..Such a relief I could have hugged him. He perfectly understood my concerns, and I think he could see from my smiles I was relieved and very thankful.

I feel I can enjoy our visitors this weekend now.

It's been a long uphill battle for you, but it sounds like things are going very well. Glad you had an understanding doctor, so it makes it much easier to deal with a problem.

Isn't it wonderful to have all our fears always and to be understood.

I'm on a round of antibiotics for an UTI right now. They are so annoying and depressing, aren't they. I went through all the tests you mentioned without them finding anything. Glad your doctor is one you trust is taking it seriously.

Thank goodness the Doctor understood. UTIs are awful! A few years ago I had to have 3 rounds of Antibiotics for one- horrid!x
