I to find that cranberry, heat pads and yogurt halp and it is usually enough

to get rid of it except it didn't this time.

Do you know if it CAN spread to your kidneys??? I had a feeling it can

spread to your bladder as my urologists did a cystoscopy last year and my

bladder was clear. I have been trying to get hold of him. I will try again

tomorrow and see what he thinks about me having a scan done.

Many thanks for your advice, i really appreciate it.

Would it be possible to keep in touch off group as i feel it would help me a

lot to speak with someone in the same shoes????

Take care

Love, health & peace

Heather
