Why haven't the ME and Long Covid charities organised, collaborated and gone legal: what is preventing this?

What is our donations being spent on? Badges? Stickers? Mugs? Cakes? Posters? Come on.

THE TIME IS NOW. We do not get these years back.

But one drawback of a booming insect population in summer is more insect bites ๐Ÿ˜… I only step outside for a few minutes and I end up covering it them haha.

Normally I would too but the specialist doesn't understand my other chronic conditions/ understands how complex my body is. Unfortunately it's causing problems and side effects for my cUTI treatment ๐Ÿ˜” & GP is concerned (as I am) about me being on long term antibiotics. Not sure what to do.

No problem. I know how awful they are so if I can help in anyway I will ๐Ÿ˜Š Thank you, will keep you updated. Yeah that's why I had to go private so I can be on long-term antibiotics. Hoping GP can pay towards new antibiotic ๐Ÿคžotherwise its going to be pricey xx

Meant to say vitamin C powder. It has helped alot with keeping my bladder symptoms under control. If you want to ask me anything about it all just dm me whenever ๐Ÿ˜Š xx

Vitamin C instead of dmannose may work better, as vit C (especially with hiprex) makes your bladder acidic which is better for fighting bacteria. Whilst dmannose is alkaline so you wouldn't be able to take them both together as dmannose would make vit C &/ hiprex ineffective.

Thanks Stefania๐Ÿ’œ Sorry to hear you are too, awful aren't they. I would look into hiprex, ask your dr about maybe prescribing it. It's an antiseptic for your bladder. My GP prescribed it me before going to private uti clinic & it helped. The private clinic I go too put you on hiprex & antibiotics....

I'm glad to be receiving treatment but it will be a while until I show improvement. A cure is not guaranteed. I will continue to have flare ups. The road to recovery will be bumpy but I hope now will be a turning point. It bloody has to be. [End]
