Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Bladder and Kidney Infection Advice

Hi Kelly,
I'm sorry you're continuing to have such a time of it! As for the kidney infection - my diagnosis would be you have something else! Unless the kidney infection was in the very, very beginning stages - you would KNOW you had one - there would be no question! Before we figured out what was causing it, I used to get urinary tract infections almost every month because I was sensative to the condums my husband was using. I am on the pill now - so no more of that. But with the UTI's, twice the infection worked its way to my kidneys. The pain in your bladder stops for about a day and then the chills kick in. Your fever will sky-rocket and while it is going up you will shake uncontrollably and feel exceedingly cold. It will break in buckets of sweat and weakness and then within less than an hour go up again. Kidney infections get rapidly worse until you get strong antibiotics. Let's pray you don't have one - but like I said I don't think you do!
Whatever it is though, I hope you get better soon!
