kidney infection

[krebstar]

i've had a kidney infection since sunday morning. mainly i've just had
pain in my right side, but i've been really nervous since two of the
side effects are n* and v*, and tonight i'm feeling particularly bad. i
went to bed around 7:30, and just woke up feeling terribly n* and
generally crappy. the worst part is i have to work EARLY tomorrow
morning, and there will be no time to call anyone to fill in for me.
With this infection I've been feeling bad at night and better upon
waking up, but this time i donno. I took a kidney cleanse earlier this
evening that tasted like banana milk shake, vitimin pills, and battery
acid. it was aful and almost made me gag. i'm just n* and scared
now. i feel like v* : /

Sorry you are feeling poorly. Have you seen a doctor for this?

That sounds bad - you should definitely try and see a doctor, you'll need anti-biotics to get rid of it. Also if you can drink lots of water to try and clean out your kidneys. I've had kidney infections in the past, and although I've felt terrible, I haven't v* with it. Kidney stones can also give the same symptoms, its best to get this checked-out. Hope you feel better soon. M x

YES you need to see a doctor if you haven't already. I have had that twice and it was HORRIBLE. The nausea was just as bad as being pregnant. If you don't get meds for it you can end up in the ER.

Kidney infections are so painful, i've had one in my left kidney, i waspretty nauseated with it, mainly from the pain and the fever and chills. You should take gravol and chew on ginger to relieve the nausea. It's painful to think that you have to work, but if you're really feeling horrible, you shouldn't go to work, your health is much more important than work.
