These are NOT fun!!! GRATEFUL it has been a decade since I had one. Now 67 & remember drinking a whole lot of Cranberry Juice whenever I felt one coming my way. Learn't that trick after having my only child at age 28. Lol, yes, got tired of seeing my doctor & the yeast infections from antibiotics. Had read about this tip from one of the women's magazines I subscribed to.
