Can't Get A Hold Of The Doctor ?? is a poor excuse, You call their telephone number and leave an urgent message. In your message leave the date and time. Say if you don't get a call back from them within 4 hours, you will begin taking an OTC medication. This way you are covered and so is your doctor. No one likes being blindsided. Doctors have answering services during off-times or they call in for their messages. Best Wishes In a message dated 6/1/2010 7:30:58 A.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
I always seem to get UTI's on a Friday evening, or on the weekend when I can't get ahold of the doctor. First sign is the massive AD headache, can't wait for the prescription process to go through, so I immediately start taking Noroxin, which I keep on hand from a pharmacy in Mexico. I get a UTI maybe once a year. I mentioned in an earlier post, people at CareCure.com swear by Cream of Tartar. Sounds strange, but looking forward to trying it.
