Blah.

I have a bladder infection. I'm tired. I don't feel well. I'm out of drink to drink, just drinking water. Need cranberry juice.

I wanted to have fun today (Australia Day) but I just don't feel up to it. BLAH. My bladder hates me.



LOOK. LOOK HOW MUCH IT HATES ME. EVIL. EVIL LITTLE THING.

Do you have bicarb? Tastes foul in water but does the trick...

Yes I do, and apparently apple cider vinegar helps as well. I suppose it goes without saying not to take these together at the same time... :-P

D: I'm sorry.

(ALSO GEEZ THAT PICTURE. It's the stuff of nightmares.)

Ahaha! I thought it was funny! I like anthropomorphising my troublesome organs!

A couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, in a glass of water.

I had pretty much back to back bladder and kidney infections for four years, until I tried this, and I wish I was exaggerating. This clears it right up, though.

Bless your heart, you beautiful woman. I shall give it a try, methinks. *squishie hugs*

I should mention that if you find it's really gross, you can put it in cranberry juice instead of water. Cranberry tastes pretty awesome, and the ACV actually seems to neutralize some of the tartness. EVERYONE WINS.

If it's a particularly nasty infection, you might have to repeat it a few times a day, just to make sure it gets kicked, but it absolutely stops you from needing to pee every eight seconds and having the shitty burny feeling.

Once it settles, it's not bad to have some once or twice a day for a few days - and it works pretty well as a preventative. If you find that sexy times tends to cause the infections, it's a good idea to take some afterward, and keep really hydrated. It'll usually punch the infection before you even get one.

The other thing I forgot to mention is that you should rinse your mouth after you drink it, as it can be a little harsh on yo' teeth enamel.

AND IT MAKES A REALLY BITCHIN' SALAD DRESSING.
