Going to the lab early in the morning. Don't know if it's a UTI but I'm definitely tired of burning down there. This way we'll find out if the WBC count is up. They're not doing my thyroid this time since it's too soon. 

As they said, it still could be a menopause thing and can include some "wicked" symptoms and recommended probiotics for both that and UTI and gut health. So I ordered probiotics with a billion live CFU in a formula that's specially made for women. I guess you don't take it every day but just until things get balanced again. When Tom took antibiotics it messed up his gut and he took probiotics for a week or so to get things regulated again. The guy was shitting like six or seven times a day on the antibiotics so I guess a lot of the good bacteria was lost. 

Interestingly enough, I did a survey for menopausal women on the job site, and one of the questions asked if you feel burning around where you pee or when you pee and it also asked about UTI frequency. The thing is that if this isn't a UTI, how will I know if I really get one since they seem to mimic the same symptoms? Burning, frequent pissing, etc. 

I'm not sure which will be worse. If I have a UTI I'm going to wonder how the hell I got it, especially with a clean booty thanks to the bidet. Then again, you can get it from food. If it's not a UTI then it's not a simple fix. I'm still trying to avoid the GYN because I don't need more appointments than I've already got or to pay over $50 in visits and testing. Hopefully, if it isn't a UTI, the probiotics will be enough to ease the burning sensation. 

Good God, though! Hormones really are the root of all evil. No person, place, or thing has made me feel nearly as shitty. Perimenopause and menopause really are pure hell. I would go back to having cycles any day! 

Another interesting thing was one of the episodes on UnXplained that talks about how many people believe in Satan and the devil and all that and how there are certain portals that are thinner and therefore allow evil to slip through easier, and one of those so-called portals are cemeteries. Interesting because I felt the worst ever in a place that was less than 1000 feet from hundreds of graves. I still say the concept of gods, angels, devils, Heaven and Hell was borne of wishful thinking and a means of controlling others by scaring them straight. But I do accept the fact that I don't know it all and anything is possible even if it doesn't seem likely. 

I made the stuffed mushrooms last night and they looked more like a casserole than stuffed mushrooms. I had way more mixture than mushrooms so they ended up being smothered as opposed to filled. Everything still tasted delicious and the rat agreed. Once the bot is done mopping the kitchen I'm going to tackle the chicken rolls next.
