Hi,
Has anyone suffered from cyctitis like symptoms when on this drug?
As long as I drink plenty, the burning goes away.

The first time I had it, my GP gave me anti biotics which seemed to work.
But the next time, they had no effect.

Looks like it is another side effect.

Thanks
Tina

Drink your 3 litres a day Tina… and while on any sort of treatment add another litre or so. Also…spread your imbibing throughout the day… is pointless drinking like a fish up to tea-time and a then only a cup of tea or so up to bed-time.:-|

I often get high temperatures of 37.7/8, sometimes even 38 or just above… I am under strict instruction to ring in if I get near to or above 38… but… if my breathing is fine, with no sign of such modern diseases like 'gunge-on the-lung', or 'rattling exhalations'… then before ringing in I drink like a fish.. three or four litres over an hour. I find that that normally wins me another cap for Wales as I pee with a vengeance and my temperature virtually drops as I fill the bowl.:-)

I find that infection No. 123PPP is caused by forgetfulness to imbibe fluids over a day or so and a swift localised flooding sorts it out.8-)

[b]If, after the flooding, your temperature stays up then ring in straight away.[/b]

Of course, your discomfort might not be accompanied by a temperature… just discomfort… then follow the localised flooding manoeuvre… I am sure it will bring relief in more ways than one.;-)

I love your term localised flooding. But it works well, thanks.
The only problem is I have to go upstairs to the loo! I am so weak, it feels like climbing Everest!!

On a better note, after 2 cycles of CDT my pp level has dropped from 33 to 3. So hopefully 4 cycles will be enough.

Take care
Tina

3 pp, that is good news Tina keep it up.

Yes, the loo is a problem for all of us I suspect. When I go anywhere my first concern is public toilets or the nearest Cafe or Pub!

Kindest regards – vasbyte

You are my heroes Tom & Tina.;-)

I have an en-suite shower/toilet to myself. It is approximately 5 feet from my bed to the door and another four feet to the toilet… passing the sink en-route. Even so, there have been times when I have barely made it… and a few times when I failed… so you having to put on your crampons and scale the stairs makes me want to stand up and applaud your efforts.8-)

Okay, I do have extensive bone damage… but I don't use a stick or any other support… I am just slow… and I seize up now and then. Well done you two for getting through your CDT with climbing and distance involved.:-D

Honest Dai I have never felt nor looked like a hero Lol.
Its a job that has to be done and we have all gone through it (Pardon the pun)

I tend to forget the times i didn't make it and had to shout Elaine (with a pitifull tone lol)

So now all well its an "Onwards and Upwards" 😎

Hi to you all
Tina I can only tell it from Slims side,had a few problems with his bladder side,it was an infection,antbiotics given.another side effect way down the list.
I must admit I gave in with Slim at one point tried commode plus bottle,to him it was a no no,I kept telling him be ok once he was feeling better,he was not having any of that.:-P So I changed all my white carpets to wooden floors!!! did the trick.
At home Slim finds it difficult to move fast,but I can always tell when he needs the loo,moves faster!!,we live in a flat,he would never manage time wise if we had stairs. Love Eve
