UGH UGH UGH UGH.
I think I've got an infection.
Yesterday evening coming home from work I got these horrible bladder spasms that took my breath away. When I pulled into the carport, I had one that made me sweat, and I couldn't get out of the car until it passed -- I could see my kitty crying in the windown and pawing at the glass, wanting his mom, but I just couldn't MOVE. Finally I was able to get out as it eased up, and bring my stuff, including some groceries, into the house. Another hit in the entry way and I collapsed onto the floor... and another hit in the kitchen when I was trying to feed my kitty and the dog. I almost passed out and had to lean against the counter until it eased.
I took pain meds and some Valium for the spasms, and then sat with my heating pad, and it eased up, but I did have a little burning sensation in my urethra when I peed.
I told hubby when he got home, because by then I felt nauseated from pain and didn't want dinner. We tried to think, did I eat something? No. Nothing unusual. So we just thought it might be a flare.
I did wake up in the night with pain creeping up my back, but it felt muscular, so I figured I was just sore from the way I was sleeping.
BUT... this morning I peed, and my first morning urine was cloudy and my husband commented that "Your pee REEKS..." when he came into the bathroom to start his shower.
UGH. Smelly cloudy urine + pain = infection, usually. I'm going to do a home test strip in a while, and then if it's positive (even if it's not) I'm off to do a urine drop at the Employee Health Clinic at work (free -- no copay
)
I feel gross.
