I may or may not delete this, I just want it out of my brain right now. I’ve been chronically ill for over 16 years, and some days are too much. Today is one of them.

I’m worried one of these infections is going to be the one to kill me. I’m worried about having sepsis again, I’m worried about one of them doing serious damage to my graft, I’m worried about getting another resistant bug. I’m worried about the additional risk if I need another hickman line.

I’m hungry but I can’t keep food in my stomach. My joints hurt, my bones hurt, my muscles hurt, my skin hurts, my hair follicles hurt. I’m hot and cold at the same time, and my eyeballs feel like they’re going to burn through my eyelids.

People get tired of you when you can’t function normally. You lose friends, people stop believing you because it seems outlandish that you have medical issue after medical issue. People don’t want to take the necessary precautions to keep you safe, to keep you in their life, but everyone will assure you that they don’t consider you a burden. They mistake having a healthy relationship with your mortality with being pessimistic. They try to convince you it’s not actually as bad as it seems.

I’m 16 years worth of tired today. Here’s my face because very few people will pay attention otherwise. Have you checked on your sick friends today?

Nitrofurantoin does not go into the kidneys, but Augmentin does. So if concerned for pyelonephritis, rx Augmentin.

Papagena is home as of last night. The arm that had the IV was stiff and her gait was off over about 5 feet, but sleeping without being tied into the IV and catheter helped a lot. Nobody gets good sleep in hospitals. She did manage to jump onto and off of the bed to sleep with us.

No more fever, and she's responding well to the current antibiotic. They still don't have the culture report from the first urine sample. They did a needle extraction from the build-up in her kidney to see if that is a different infectious agent (unlikely but paranoia for the win). That one pulled out pus. Whatever drug she's on, she will be taking it for months while this clears up across the urinary system.

The appetite stimulant apparently won't be necessary. She's "definitely a grazer rather than a meal-based cat", and she's gone to the food bowl expectantly every time I go within 15 feet of the kitchen where food is available. She might just have a few bites each time, but it adds up. She's definitely lost mass, down to 5.96 kg, because her spine is a lot more palpable.

Effects of Valeriana officinalis and Ciprofloxacin on Kidney Histopathology in Rats Pyelonephritis by Pseudomonas

Introduction: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection that affects the urinary tract. The bacterial infection of the upper urinary tract is called nephritis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial effect of Valeriana officinalis and Ciprofloxacin on kidney histopathology in rats with pyelonephritis by Pseudomonas.

Materials and Methods: In this study, 48 male Wistar rats were divided into six groups and each group had two replicates. The first group was considered a control and received 0.1 mg/ kg/day of saline daily for a month. The second group received a single injection of 0.5 McFarland of microbial suspension per kilogram of animal into the pelvis of the right kidney of the rats, resulting in pyelonephritis. The third group of rats received 0.9 mg/kg/day methanolic extract of Valeriana officinalis intraperitoneally for a month. The fourth group of rats received Ciprofloxacin intraperitoneally for a month at a dose of 0.6 mg/kg/day. Group five contained rats with pyelonephritis that received the antibiotic (Ciprofloxacin) at a dosage of 0.6 mg/kg/day. Group six with pyelonephritis received 0.9 mg/kg/day of Valeriana officinalis extract. The inflammation in the cortex, Pelvic, medulla, and tissue sections was studied at the end of the study.

Results: The rats that received Valeriana officinalis extract improved pelvic and medullary tissue, the site of Pseudomonas bacteria, and prevented the destruction of renal cortex tissue. The rats that received Ciprofloxacin had fewer medullary and tissue inflammations.

Conclusion: According to the results of this research, the extract not only improved the tissue of the pelvis and medulla, which is where Pseudomonas bacteria live, but it also inhibits the degradation of renal cortex tissue. It was proven to diminish medullary inflammation to some extent, but in rats, it exacerbated the loss of renal cortex tissue.

Recognize Symptoms of Kidney Infections

Recognizing the symptoms of kidney infections is crucial to receiving timely medical attention and preventing serious complications. The most common symptoms include lower back or side pain, high fever and chills, nausea and vomiting, frequent and painful urination, and the presence of blood in the urine. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention right away. Delaying treatment can lead to serious complications, such as kidney damage and sepsis. Stay informed and keep an eye out for these symptoms to protect your kidney health.
