Poison

I have been knocked down for the count. As if estrogen poisoning wasn't enough- the return of my UTI which has morphed (like a Pokemon) to something stronger- a kidney infection. If you've never had the pleasure of dealing with a kidney infection, bless you. It's terrible. I've had a low grade fever for 2-3 days, pretty gnarly back pain and that lovely burn when you go potty. I went to the doc right before I left for NY and they gave me Cipro. I took 3 doses and had to stop because I felt terrible. Cipro is a powerful antibiotic with nasty side effects. At least for me. I get dizzy, weak and have a sour stomach. Not to mention tendon toxicity which may cause your tendons to rupture, most specifically your Achilles tendon. Looks like I'll be taking a week off of crossfit and knocking this out. I hate taking these nasty drugs, but I hate being sick and tired more.

Lots of water. Lots of cranberry juice. Lots of rest.
