I woke up this morning knowing I had a uti, started drinking tons of water, horse tail tea and eating cranberries. The pain has gotten so bad to screams!! Then after I passed bloody mucus I freaked!! The pain lasts for about 10-15 sec followed by a dripping blood stream as the pain subsides. Having an ice storm, 2 out of 4 kids with a bug and can't make it to Er. Is this a normal uti?? The blood has also gotten brighter as the days gone by.
Thanks,

Hello,
I'm afraid this is a very serious UTI - the brighter the blood the more recent the source it came from. You are going to need the antibiotics to cure this and the longer you wait, the infection gets a bigger chance to progress to your pelvis or kidneys. Is there anyone who you can call in to help you with kids? I'm sorry you have to suffer like this, but there is little alternative to the antibiotics in this situation. Maybe try calling the ER or your local physician, given the weather and the situation you’re in, hopefully they might have enough mercy to send paramedics to you. If there is no one else to take care of your kids, than I think you’re in the situation that might justify it.
I’m sorry I can’t help more, but please, try getting the help any way you can – given the holidays are coming, it might get even harder even to get to the ER,
Wish you all the best,
Nicole
