If you've never had a urinary infection you won't know the added stress you can have along with pain and the need to wee a lot.. there's the anxiety of going somewhere, that might not have a toilet, or being in a position where you can't get to one easily.
The Welsh trains have decided, that in their new built trains, they won't have toilets, to make room for more seats? So that's me not using them, not that I plan going anywhere. People prone to UTIs don't travel usually.
I did go to buy some 'pads.' Omgosh, there are 100s to choose from, and in bulk buys. I spent ages looking and bought some to go for that bladder scan, where you have to arrive with a full bladder. Criky it was like riding a horse between my legs!
But I have been prescribed with a very powerful anti biotic, prior to this proposed cystoscopy.. magic!! One dose and I did a proper wee, ie I went to the toilet, no hesitancy, and a good strong stream of wee, not just a dribble! And last night I only had to get up 3 times instead of 4 or 5 or more.. what a difference its made. I slept really well in between toilet visits, so feel really well this morning. No frequency, no worry of piddling my pants, no feeling of burning in my bladder region, nor the constant feeling I have to wee, in fact I feel normal! If only this could last for ever?
Too much information? Well I did warn you!

I do hope you get fully sorted out soon. What kind of men are in charge of Welsh trains (for surely no woman would agree to removing toilets)
Chris, maybe this new antibiotic will just make even better nights for sleeping. It is a great thing the dr. discovered you needed it. And to make travel trains without the availability of a loo? What is that really about, for heavens sake.
UTI's are awful. It seems like with your history of them that you could go on a low dose antibiotic all the time. I've had several patients that got a lot of relief that way.
Oh dear, it's your blog, so you tell it how you like. I'm glad you're getting some relief. :)
Oh Chris, I do hope things work out for you. Glad you are getting some relief.
Thankfully I've never had that problem.
Good grief. No toilets on trains. Incredible.
Good news about the new medication! Hope it does the job in the long term.
An awful complaint and so easy to get. Good luck with the medication. Hope you keep improving.
I hope you get some good results and a long-term solution.
Glad that the new antibiotics seem to be helping.
Yay! This sounds very hopeful, Chris!
What are Welsh trains thinking of - who in their right mind removes the toilet!!
I do hope that things finally get sorted for you , Chris and I'm glad the stronger antibiotic helped.
