Okay so I have a wild story for y'all (thread)

48 hours ago (from this thread being posted) I started feeling some unusual pain in my lower pelvis but dismissed it bc I thought it was pms

I woke up yesterday morning, went to pee, and noticed it was kinda painful
... that's when I immediately knew it was a UTI

HOWEVER, I thought I would be able to self treat... but nope

Tw// graphic content

I went to pee at around 19:50 yesterday and it was SO FREAKING PAINFUL

Think, bloody urine painful

Since it was 8 pm on a weekend, nobody was open to treat me or diagnose me except a 24/7 emergency care center (thank god)

So I had a urine test done and guess who the ER doc I got was:

The PRESIDENT of the TEXAS MEDICAL ASSOCIATION

Worry not, the story gets wilder:
I got prescribed two different drugs that (wait for it...) turn my pee and my tears ORANGE

I am a literal alien

Anyways, yeah I got an analgesic for my bladder/urethra pain and am feeling much better now
