I do take cranberry capsules and 3000 mg of vitamin c a day,. I probably haven't been drinking enough water and I probably should be drinking cranberry juice instead of taking capsules.I don't check my ph but will start. Thanks!

It is cultured high enough to feel terrible, but not high enough to treat with antibiotics. I discovered by lowering the culture level will lessen spasms and bad feelings short of a temperature. Do drink plenty of fluids, cranberry juice, a product called UTI Clear works for me. Also raise your urine ph to 6 or 7 by a ph test strip by vitamin C 1000mg twice daily. This is all a daily maintenance for me but does raise my quality of a life.

I don't have a uti at least according to urine test last week , no fever and no sores or red marks, I have almost no sensation from the neck down, but I can usually tell if there is pain or discomfort in an generalized area. I have tried different positions in bed but it has not helped. We do stretching exercises every day. I'm going into the hospital for tests next week maybe something will show up. Thanks for your input.

Clearly something is wrong. If it¢s in bed, I¢d check your butt, heel, etc. for red areas. When I was a bit constipated I would spasm very bad when I laid flat, it must have irritated my abdomen area. Also UTI¢s will do it. It¢s always like finding a needle in a haystack when trying to find the cause of a new symptom. Good luck, Greg.

I take a full daily dose of Baclofen and Tizanidine. I haven't been able to see my doc yet, but I was wondering if any of you have had this problem or have I just been lucky up to now and this is a regular accurrance. Cullen C3 Yahoo!
