Hi my name is LoriAnn and I was diagnosed with a UTI on 06/29/13 Saturday when I went to the emergency room here in Ronceverte, WV. I was given a prescription of an antibiotic and was advised to avoid colas, which I did. I drank water and I also drank some cranberry juice cocktail. I was drinking water off and on and was using the bathroom. I had never had a UTI but they did a urine analysis at the emergency room and that was the only thing that came from it was the UTI. I was scared to death because the only symptom that I was having was I was just urinating a lot. Well I was still peeing throughout taking the medication so on 07/04/13 Thursday I went back to the emergency room and they did another urine analysis. I was scared and worried but the results came in and they said that the UTI was gone from taking the meds. And my kidneys, bladder and so on was clean and that there were no problems. And they said that me feeling like I need to urinate a lot is just that some people have to go more than others and my mother and friends as well as the nurse with the results said that it was tension and stress. Well, by Thursday evening later that night I was beginning to feel better and then Friday and Saturday I didn't feel like I needed to go that often at all. I felt great, then Sunday I felt that I did then Monday it was better then Tuesday it had sped up some then on Wednesday it was a lot better then Thursday and today Friday I was urinating about every hour. Before I went to the emergency room and found out and after being diagnosed with a UTI I noticed that when I took a shower and it takes me awhile because I have obsessive compulsive disorder. And it interferes with the personal hygiene. I take a shower and later during the shower and getting out and getting ready for bed I feel like I do not need to go. I can go maybe 2 to 3 hours before I need to go again. And on Tuesday I went for a long walk and that seemed to help too. I am sitting here typing this and I am scared to death, I have been checking out other websites about frequent urination and I am scared to death as to what could be wrong with me. I have my once a year OBGYN appt. next Friday and then I will be seeing my family doctor the following week for a check up. I do not drink 8-10 glasses of water a day and I do drink some fluids but off and on. I have also noticed that once I urinate when I go to the bathroom that if I sit there on the toilet afterward that I don't feel the need to go if I sit there for a long while and just sort of test myself and pay attention. I don't know if all of this is in my mind or what or if it could be something that I am eating or drinking that is irritating me and causing me to urinate more on some days than on others. For the past couple of years I have got into the habit of holding it becaus I could not stand to use a public restroom. Now I am allowing myself to use a public restroom and taking the necessary precautions when I go to one. I am careful how I sit by not sitting down all of the way and I also use a toilet seat cover. I have scared myself by checking out other sites online about frequent urination. I am scared that what if it is diabetes? I do not have any of the other symptoms and when I got to get ready to go somewhere considering I run late anyway I have anxieties and I get overly nervous so I urinate a bit more but it is just small amounts and it is clear like a light, yellow color but there is no blood or pain. I am petrified of needles and there is no way I can prick my finger or my arm everyday and test my blood sugar and give myself insulin shots. Then there is being told what I can no longer eat or drink ever again and that is not going to work for me. I have not had any changes in weight, no blurred vision, no extreme tiredness, no light headedness, no passing out. Diabetes does not run in my family, I wear glasses but so does my parents. I wear them for reading, writing and for using the computer. I do have fibromyalgia too and depression, anxieties, mood swings, OCD, allergies and sinuses. I am even afraid that it could be a tumour. I am still scared to death that I am going to end up in the hospital and having to go through tests and surgery. I don't know what to do, what is wrong with me? Help me please! I hope to hear from you soon, thank you so much and bless you for being here 24x7 to help us.
