Update to "scry"

[powerwalk]

Just wanted to update on my post last week - I have for the present gotten the person who causes all the stress to me taken off me - to be given to someone who has precious little - if any - work to do. I am not the better of it all and have increased my pred twice in the last week and now battling the delights of a UTI. But I want to thank all of you for your support - it helped me more than you can imagine!!

Of course this should read SCARY

Onwards and upwards.....a move on the right direction....

We are your virtual army, we’ve got your back. Well done!

I did find that my troubling almost constant UTI symptoms were caused by the irritating effects of Adcal. My GP just took me off it, which wasn’t ideal, symptoms disappeared. Second bone scan soon and the spectre of Alendronic Acid will rise again, GP’s a big fan of that. 😖

oh - you fix one thing and it causes something else! Good luck with Scan. Thank you.

Oh so glad you are watching those bones. Xxx

You won't recover in just a few days - especially if you have a UTI.

So glad you posted I have been wondering what happened. Wonderful that you can continue to work. Remember to pace yourself. Take care!

Thanks for update, was wondering how you were getting on. Good news that you have one less stressor powerwalk. Well done. Don't know how you keep working. You must have oodles of grit and determination! You have nothing but my admiration. Empathise with UTI - off to docs in a minute for exact same reason.

[powerwalk in reply to Marilyn1959]

oh no - aren't they just a curse!!! Thank you so much!

Great that someone finally heard you and acted on it!!! A real coup, IMHO. Now, take care of your health in the context of working. Good for you.

Here's hoping you have a better time now . Keep your chin up and we are all here if you need to talk .

Hi Powerwalk have been following you and I am so pleased that things are better for you at work. With your UTI have you tried D-Mannose a natural product for it, I use it when I feel I am starting an infection and it seems to work. I have the powder form but you can also have tablets. You take it until the infection has stopped three times a day or you can use a holding dose everyday just once a day to keep it at bay. Look it up on Google and see if it is for you as I really dislike taking antibiotics for UTI it is a good solution. Obviously if you are really too far down the road with the infection you might need antibiotics to clear it completely. Take care Angie xxx

Thank you. Oh i have tried the d manose. It didnt really help. Just when i think it is - i get another one. But i do try these things. Hope is everything!! Thank you.

Are they sure it is UTIs? PMR can cause irritable bladder syndrome and so can pred. And then there is calcium forming grit if the urine is too concentrated - happens to me if I take my calcium supplement on a day I am travelling and not drinking my usual 10 cups of tea...

[powerwalk in reply to PMRpro]

Yes definitely infection - though yes I do have terribly painful bladder at times. But definitely infection this time. The joys.
