Question:
Help with Cystitis Symptoms - please!!!!?
I developed cystitis Sunday night and have been in agony ever since. Sitting down is a problem, going to the toilet is even worse. Im trying to drink lots of water, cranberry and not having any tea or coffee. I am on antibiotics and potassium citrate - but nothing seems to be easing the horrendous burning. How long till antib's will start to work and has anyone any other top tips to help me get over this?
Answers:
Leave cranberry juice alone, the acid in it makes it worse. Drink just water and take your antibiotics like they are supposed to be taken. For the time, stay away from tomatoes, or any fruit or veg, that is real acidic. You're lining is irritated from the infection so everything will feel like alcohol on a cut. I wish I could help more! I have IC (Interstitial Cystitis) I feel your pain! BTW, be careful how much water you drink....there is a such thing as water poisoning...so don't go down gallons of water all at once!
