Kidney Infection

[Helen82]

so... it turns out what i thought were just pvfs symptoms were partly 2 months of kidney infection. Im not sure exactly what symptoms to attribute to which... all i know is since having the antibiotics i feel a lot better, dont get me wrong, im still throaty, achey and tired... but some of the malaise, shivery/shakeyness, brain fog and lower back pain has lifted.

I just wanted to mention this just to encourage anyone who has any symptoms that dont seem to fit the pvfs/cfs group to not just assume its that, but to check with a doc.

Im at risk of giving too much info, but ooooh wellll, well lets just say i had urinary problems, mainly my bladder giving up, it really worried me, i felt like an old lady, thought it must just b coz all my muscles r soo weak at the mo... but noooo. i avoided telling the doc coz i was embarrased, but i was soo glad it cleared up (so far anyways, fingas, and LEGS! crossed lol) and was even more glad it took away some of me other symptoms. it was no miracle, but i wud say ive gone from 30 to 50... but im sure this rollercoaster wont end here!

So... any dodgey urinary symptoms get down to docs, kidney infections r nasty!

ok, so the rollercoaster continues...

last week I had really bad anxiety mon-fri and then friday I noticed my kidney pains and leaking had returned... not sure if the anxiety led to another kidney infection or vice versa... chicken and egg.

so friday I got more antibiotics, a higher dose. On sunday I felt so ill, shaking from head to toe, really bad nausea, kidney pains, I was almost tempted to get myself to hospital... then my friend who is a devoted christian asked if she could pray and do healing on me... I was willing to try anything, so agreed... and within minutes the shakes had stopped, I still felt rough but a lot calmer and was able to eat lunch.

I dont really want to be on antibiotics, they arent good for the immune system, but I really hope they sort me out... because apart from this my other CFS symptoms have been very good, less buzzing, shakiness, brain fog... when I look in the mirror I am beginning to look like me again!
