Well now I've got a kidney infection and have just started antibiotics,looks can be misleading,GP said I looked very good considering the amount of nasties in my urine also was not complaining of usual symptoms
I have really bad lower back pain more around the left kidney mad feel very sick also laying on either side makes it worse.
Have got to phone GP Thursday when results are back to make sure on right antibiotics.
Also have mri scan with contrast dye booked on 19th June so having a great time lately.
Good job I have something to look forward to chickens coming on the 23rd June hurray

Sorry you have been feeling so poorly. Try d- mannose. You can buy it at your health store.

What kind of antibiotic?

Hope you feel better!

The kidney antibiotic might aggravate your colon. Are you taking any probiotics? Lots of members here recommend taking a probiotic every night, a couple hrs after your last antibiotic dose of the day. I did that last yr while taking dental antibiotic & it definitely protected me from the dreaded D. Best wishes!

Thanks all I'm on trimethoprim until results come back Thursday then will prob get changed to something else.
Funny thing is I had a kidney infection a few years ago and it completely knocked me for six just couldn't get out of bed for 3 days.
This time I have no temp or chills just really bad back ache and pain that goes all the way from low stomach to under ribs when I try to lay down plus feel very sick, should start to feel a bit better today as antibiotics should kick in.

lambkins,

Sorry about the infection.

Make sure to double up on your probiotics - but at least 3-4 hours apart from antibiotics.
