Alright, I'm bringing this thread back for more advice.

It appears that I have my first UTI ever. It hurts when I pee, I feel like I have to pee immediately (but not much comes out), and a new one for me... there is red/pink stains on the toilet paper when I wipe. Apparently there is blood in the urine. (There's a chance it's leftover from my period last week, but I doubt it.)

I'm in Seattle with my family, so my usual medical provider is far away. If I go to the doctor here, I'll have to pay a lot more... but I wonder if it's absolutely necessary to get antibiotics (prescription needed)? I try to avoid them as much as possible, but I wonder if there's any homegrown way of treating this. Then again, I've never had the blood show up before, so that has me a bit scared.

Thanks, ladies!
