Take two paracetamol...Really mom?....(By Delra Morgan)


On December 22nd it was my last day of exams at college and thought it was a day of relief for me. heading home form school, I was so excited because school is closed and its was time to prepare for the Christmas holidays. upon arrival to my home that night, I felt the need to void so i went straight to the washroom. whilst voiding there was this burning sensation which seem to be a bit painful; but i took this for nothing because since i was holding in urine for a while now i simply thought this was the cause off the pain.

what is happening to me????......As the days passed by I ignored the pain...but it only seemed to get worst. I started getting severe, intense abdominal pain.especially at nights having me not being able to sleep for two nights a mild fever and I also had a frequent urge to void but not actually doing it.The pain was so unbearable i couldn't stand it any longer. But presently in these day since you have pain leave it in the hand of paracetamol. I complained to my mother of my condition, of the intense pain i was getting but unfortunately, "go drink paracetamol" she said. yes i ran along and drank them but these painkillers did nothing for me.

Am i going to die?....seeing that i could bear the pain any longer i went to the nurse and explained to her my symptoms. I was shocked when i was told that i have a UTI because i did not know what that was. A (UTI) Urinary Tract Infection is an infection of any part of the urinary tract caused by a microbe such as bacteria. UTIs have different names depending on which part of the urinary system is infected.

  • bladder infection- cystitis 
  • kidney infection- nephritis
  • urethra infection-urethritis
But i had urethritis. The pain and the strong urge to void are the exact symptoms of this infection "The pain was more intense at night when the body is a rest  because the bacteria tend to be more active" the nurse said. Another symptom of this infection is having a cloudy, bloody or a strong smelling urine. this symptom occurs if the bacteria moved up to the bladder and or kidneys, but luckily i didn't have it. It is said that women are more likely to develop UTIs than men due to the anatomical differences. the female urethra ids shouter than that of the male, and is closer to the anus making it more likely for bacteria to be transferred from that area to the urethra. There are other factors which may increase the likelihood of developing a UTI. Theses may include:poor personal hygiene,bowel incontinence, use of spermicides etc.

However this can be treated by drinking a lot of water. Water flushes out the infection.also antibiotics can be given for the bacteria.

  1. I was able to overcome senile dementia via a complete naturopathic process.

    About two years ago, when I was 56, I started feeling foggy and had occasional memory lapses. My wife, Mary, started to notice it, too, but I also have hearing issues so she thought that was the problem. My memory worsened very gradually over the years, and we lived with it, compensating as needed. I became less social. After some months thereafter, it got to the point where we couldn’t keep making excuses or ignoring it. I had gone from doing our grocery shopping without a list to going with a list, to having the list but not buying what was on it.

    Mary went online to do some research, and it was during this process we had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially dementia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that I had been able to improve my condition for better. So to say, the encounter with the above-mentioned herbal practitioner was the first time we ever heard there was something that possibly can be done to improve my memory functionality.

    By the existence of such an encounter, I was able to learn of the new approach by which this herbalist successfully treated dementia conditions, which included a distinguished herbal therapy and lifestyle changes of which I had undergone to a tremendous, positive effect.
    It was after the completion of the herbal therapy I had started to experience a great deal of cognitive improvement when it came to rational decision making.

    In brief, I was able to go through the dreadful hollows of senile dementia without any further hazardous damage to my health condition, and within a short period. Had it not been for the support of my wife, of whom had encouraged me to undergo the above-mentioned therapy and that of the herbal practitioner of whom now happens to be benefactor - I would have been long exposed to the further perils of this condition and of which had been apt to result to a calamitous end.

    I would also wish for the same positiveness upon patients who may happen to be suffering from this debilitating disease, and would warmly beseech them to find a confidant like this herbal specialist with whose professional service I was able to attain a divine recovery.
