Fibro & UTI's

[topaz1]

Does anyone with Fibro suffer from UTI's and what can be done to stop getting them?

Hi Ive had them in past but not recently. you may need antibiotics if really bad, otherwise helpful tips from others include cranberry juice or lemon barley juice. Drinking lots of water to dilute acidity in urine, but if you start to see blood or back pain go to the gp ....you don't want to end up with nasty kidney infection.

I take cranberry extract daily and that seems to work.
