Hi All!
After spending a totally miserable day yesterday, I wondered if others have hit this bump in the road with illness and the band tightening up.
I came down with a UTI yesterday all of a sudden. I won't even get into it, but I was totally stressed out that my doc cannot see me til today. I think that is totally inappropriate to make someone wait a whole day when you have UTI symptoms. It was horrible.
I was so P'd off they would not see me my band tighened up. I was trying to get all that cranberry juice down, ended up PB'ing. We cannot take Advil, and tylenol does nothing for me.
I just don't think the primary care physicians have a CLUE what we go through when were are not felling well.
Just had to vent.
I find when I have a cold, etc. it's a lot more maintence taking care of myself.
Thanks for listening. I am going to give them an ear full when I do get there this afternoon.
