| Wondering about UTI causes
Just came down with another (I have diabetes, so getting one about once a year just seems to go with the territory.) I know the cause is obviously bacteria, but sometimes I just wonder what makes the bacteria decide to get going. Three things seemed to coincide with this one - ate more chocolate than I should have last week (naughty), but also had to switch to thinner cheaper toilet tissue due to a toilet plumbing problem, (that's fixed now, back to Scotts) but also swim for exercise and switched to a different facility in my health club chain that had warmer pool water and an indoor hot tub. Got one a little over a year ago after I started a part time job where I had to sit all the time (and they had lousy cheap TT). Am doing the Cipro, Pyridium (both generic) and light cranberry juice, resolve to be more disciplined about the Xmas goodies, going back to the cold water pool--brrrr. What a bore.
