Hi Posie,

If you are taking immunosuppressant drugs it would be best to see someone now, not wait till Monday.
Hope you can get some treatment.

Thanks Doreen i am on metx had chest infection last week got antibiotic for it
that finished on wed there but still felt chesty went to G.P she send me to A & E dr there said my chest was clear but my cough would last another
week or so i was off my metx while on antibiotic dr at A&E told me to go back on it next day now i have this u.t.i

I think Chrissie's old lady is in her 90's !
Try to see someone if you can, the mtx will have suppressed your immune system even though you are off it for now.
What are your symptoms, do you have a temperature?

It sounds as if the infection is taking hold then , with a temp and feeling cold.
Do you have an out of hours service where you live? If not, ring NHS Direct and see what they advise. Don't forget to mention the mtx.
Let us know how you get on.

Hi Posie

You need to nip this in the bud. UTIs can be very painful and problematic. Ring your doc asap and ask for an emergency appointment. Let us know how you go on

right the lady is 93 she forgets to drink .

The chest infection and the UTI CAN GO TOGETHER it does not matter about age

YOU can get UTI at any age babys get it ,

The 93 needs a scan as UTI can damage and she has started too vomit for no reason it just comes up .

maybe though drinking as it looks as she has pleanty but i measherd it 1/4 cup of tea here Half cup there all together lot less then you think .

drinks if you drink the same thing all day like tea it might help your inconcance along .Plus not helping to clear infection .
i went on a course a few weeks ago for Red cross about UTI incontance

you need antibo ics because the tube from the bladder is conceted too the kidneys and infection can get into the plevic floor .
if it has you usealy leak a brown yukie stuff .

if no joy go to dept of GUM AT HOSPITAL you can self refure and its not all about sex and aid and stds its other stuff .

thanks for advice Chris got antibiotic last night and feeling a bit better today

Hello Jenni, I'v been in the hospital with a kidney infection, five days on intravenous anti-biotics.Came out Tuesday night with oral anti-biotics but I'm still peeing blood. I went to my GP on Friday, she was very good and gave me another weeks pills and arranged an appointment with the urology for tests. She did say that if it was a stone then that could cause the bleeding or the persistant infection. I had been feeling like I had a urinary infection for five days before beeing taken to the hospital but I tried to ignor it. I am still having very painful episodes.I wondered what had happened to you when you had your problems. Glenys.x
