Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hi , I found that cranberry juice actually made my ReA bladder symptoms worse. The pain is dreadful. I have had good luck using an herb called Cat's Claw. I take 500 twice a day when it flares and the symtoms disappear in a few days...then I taper down. I also drink a lot of water to flush my system. I have quit drinking coffee both regular and decaf and it has reduced the frequency of bladder flares. I have also had to may changes with my sex life, which I am sad about. But my husband understands and we are creative. I sure hope this helps. Love, in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hi, again, I am not sure if Cat's Claw tea will do the trick for you. I take the supplement in pill form 500 mg twice/day. I just buy it from the local healthfood store. Good luck...let me know if it helps. We are all different but it's worth a try. in CA jazzylovone <dlizabethf@...> wrote: Thanks , I think I have some of that tea in the cupboard now.I have a full shelve devoted to teas.I will be digging in there and getting it out and make some tonight. > --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I had 2 infections about 10 days apart in December. The DR did cultures and put me on an antibiotic. I have been ok for 3 weeks now. I am hoping it doesn't come back it was so painful. I didn't have back pain, but some do have it with infection or inflamation which I have read can come and go.
