You'll be fine. Wait till it's pap smear time If it's low then it's not stomach or kidneys. They're both up high. Is it in the center or on one side? Who knows, maybe it's just your bladder. I think there are defects that allow more bacteria to get up. Try drinking lots of cranberry juice, it actually works by making it harder for the bacteria to adhere to the walls. Have you seen a gyno to check out/rule out reproductive organ problems (unless it's just directly due to the infections)?

When my wife and i first got together she had struggled with UTI infections all her life so when she was on my military insurance she saw a specialist. The problem turned out to be that her urethra opening was a bit smaller then normal and that somehow was the cause of it she had a little operation that opened it up and now she is fine. Just shareing hopefully yours is as easy as hers was goodluck.

But dealing with my day nothing enteresting school, home, later homework and getting my daughter fed.

Apparently it's worse than that.. Ive been reading things on the internet and it's made me super scared haha all these girls "amg it's 100 times worse than pap smears"..woohoo
It's on my left side (and round the back on that side too) I've not been to a gyno, I'm pretty much fed up of being tested and finding nothing now it's like heyyy we'll cut you open see if we find anything! I havn't had a UTI for about 6 months now but they seem to think this pain is somehow connected? I don't know..
& thanks Bcummings8521.. he actually mensioned something like that, I don't know I was just freaking out at the time.
I'm just so scared of operations and pain, I want to see, hear & feel nothing.. then I don't care.

Anyway, on a lighter note..I got lots of chocolates today xD and some flowers.. how is everyone else? haha

Rainy chilly day here. Car broke- again! But feel okay. So much going on this week with plays and concerts and rehearsals.

Get a referral to a gyno then please. If it's low down, isolated to one side, and travels to your back then it may be an ovary (keep in mind I have no medical training and am a stranger on the internet, though I am very experienced with pain in the area, I have endo). Thankfully the treatment I'm on now is working. If it doesn't and/or stops then I'm just getting it all removed. Best to see a specialist so they can check it out and give you an answer or rule something out. Often times we have to push to get things done. Push harder

Sounds to me like you might have kindey stones. If the decided to take them out they should put you under, so there for you shouldnt feel a thing. You will be in a bit of pain when you wake up but shouldnt be that bad. And they dont cut you open for it, they go up through your uthrea and up through the bladder up the ureter to find the stone and break it up with a laser.

Im an xray tech and have help with these types of procedures many of times

And sorry my spelling SUCKS LOL

But as for what Ive done today..... I went to work on my Bday cause if not I would be sitting at home bored

I will flutter, I think thats what my next appointment is for the gyno to do an ultrasound.. Im not sure though, but I just googled endo and it says that's where it's seen (on ultrasounds).. so I'm guessing whatever they see on the scan will either be that or kidney stones, or nothing meaning I have this other thing done..
I'm feeling good at the minute, its pretty much normal.

Aww my egg died ^

Tried another vet to get an MS-222 prescription ... Denied again.

Anyone want to get some for me? and mail it? I can pay!

I have a hospital appointment next friday arghh scared..
Anyway, today.. I bought more holiday clothes & make up.. watched lots of tv and painted my nails haha.

Yesterday, cleaned my bedroom. Saw friends.

First day working out side and got sunburned. It wasn't that difficult really, but the black flies were deadly.

Ohhhh and was the wifes birthday so I bought $200 worth of plants and got a ton of freebies. So total retail would have been $300. They should look nice. AND SHE BETTER TAKE CARE OF THEM .. Grrrrr

Hehehe, have fun taking care of those plants

Maybe she'll make you dinner in exchange...

Got a call earlier today from the program advisor for the Construction Engineering Tech program I applied to. Have an interview with them next week wednesday as part of my final step for full acceptance into the course ! Now to show them just how much I want this and how I would make a great candidate for the course!!!

I'm nervous because I'm missing one course from high school that was part of the requirements to get in. However I've been out of high school for 7 years now and have been working in construction ever since and have also taken some construction courses at the university here, I'm praying that it all counts for something!!!

On a positive note though, they could have just sent me a rejection letter once they got my transcipts. But instead asked for my career investigation report and called me for the interview today!!!

I honestly cannot even express how happy and excited I am!

Angry ... those plants I purchased for my wife's b-day ... I was supposed to get a 10% staff discount.l.. ok ... with the free stuff.. it worked out to be about a 30% discount.

The owner today decided to give anyone who bought the same plants a 50% discount!! OMG! no wonder that is a sinking ship!

In most businesses your staff are your best customers. Treating walk-in better than the staff is a serious no-no. At least I am over paid for what I do
