I have been experiencing recurring UTI and bladder infections throughout most of my life. When I was young, I would get them nearly every month and was almost constantly on antibiotics.

Off Track (Menstruation)

Before we start there is a TMI/Trigger Warning (Menstruation/urine/pain)*** Proceed with caution. These last few weeks have honestly been stressful, and I cannot explain what has been going on. I really don’t know. My body is reacting and fighting something, and I don’t have many answers, but I have noticed something. In April, I went…
