This is so uplifting to see how many of you also suffer with chronic cystitis. I’ve had problems as long as I remember. I just finished a second course of antibiotics for another episode of uti. Since last week i also stopped caffeine completely as this seems to also be a trigger. I will try dmannose.

[@221kab]

THANK YOU - been taking D-Mannose since you spoke about it a few weeks ago and it’s like night and day (can’t even believe I’m writing this, touch all the wood, long may it continue) 🎉

[@Semapho0ore]

I am going to stock up on these!

[@RuthCrilly]

So glad!

[@ShlyakhovaEka]

D Mannose has been LIFE CHANGING for me, too! Amazing stuff!

[@MsPuddley]

I'm so with you on the AA oil and Epsom combo! My favourite is the Light Relax which is so blooming perky for an early evening bath. I also have a Badedas habit, especially in winter when I crave sappy greenery.

[@RuthCrilly]

Oh my God Badedas! That brings back memories...

[@trishmcgrath7124]

Thanks Ruth... great video! Will definitley be reading that book..thanks for all the info😊😊

[@karenbyrne7597]

Fantastic hope it continues for you. Yes the pain drives you crazy.

[@katerinaray87]

I am so with you on the hair-tied back headaches. I cut way back on pony tails during lockdowns and it’s tricky as I do have long hair that gets everywhere but I am sure it was one (of a few changes made at that time) that reduced my headache frequency. Also, so with you on AA bath oils.

[@queens6583]

I recently cut my hair the same length as yours and would love to see a video on how you style it please. That cardigan is beautiful and looks very soft and cozy.

[@stevdaughtr6098]

I love yr hair.. It’s simply adorable on you and you’re right it is just right

[@mummycool1]

I've had utis for years since I was very young. I've now at 54 and menopausal I've been diagnosed with overactive bladder. On meds & now I'm so much more comfortable? Bladder issues are just so uncomfortable, I feel for you & everyone else who suffers with it.

[@lilypebbles]

I SO feel you with the chronic cystitis, it’s so awful when it’s bad. Also have you tried the AA shower oil?? It’s amazing. xx

[@loriwht]

✨Love this list!

[@kayleighread8131]

I literally went and bought some D-Manose yesterday as I am currently suffering! So good to hear they do do some good!

[@kayleighread8131]

And I Lovvvveeee Nightbitch!

[@RuthCrilly]

Yes but definitely since I started taking them regularly and not missing any rather than just the occasional few!

[@lynnmiller4669]

That is the best bath oil bar none!

[@marianne8352]

Your hair is EXACTLY what I’m wanting! Unfortunately I foolishly decided to go for a pixie cut about a year ago, so now I’m going through the painful experience of growing it out 😂

[@RuthCrilly]

Ah, it'll get there! x

[@helennoble9587]

Love the hair, I’ll source the book 👍

[@skylilly1]

I'm tempted to cut my hair that length. It looks so good on you. Mine is mid-back and getting annoying. I like your tank shirt, it reminds me of the 90's. Your bathtub view is awesome! The bath oil sounds divine.

[@RuthCrilly]

Haha yes it's SO 90s!

[@georgiejjjjjjj9078]

I suffered with a UTI feeling for a couple of years and at points I felt like giving up as it made like so insufferable. I also went to various consultants for a while and then they operated on me to widen my urethra. A week after surgery the feeling came back and I hit an all time low. The next time I saw a consultant, they said, "There's nothing more we can do- it's just stress." At the time I felt so angry that he had belittled it and wrote it off. However, since understanding that it is a symptom of stress, I can compartmentalise it and I know, for me, it's almost imaginery. It has been a complete game changer!

[@RuthCrilly]

I also had the widening thing and it did nothing. Had the same low point. So many women with this and no real solutions it seems...

[@emilybrouillet8519]

You’re just so charming. Love all your videos ❤

[@canadianskinfanatic2952]

Just put a hold on Nightbitch from the library. Love your book recommendations, I’ll read anything you say now😂

[@RuthCrilly]

Enjoy! It's a whacky ride!

[@fiona2989]

Ruth - my cystitis story mirrors yours entirely. So debilitating. Started taking D Mannose a few weeks ago. Fingers 🤞 xxx

[@RuthCrilly]

Let me know if it helps!

[@ilonna9623]

Ruth I never had a chance to thank you Epsom salts tip - thank you very much🩵🩵🩵. Every time I have a visitors they ask why do you bucket of paint in your bathroom🤣🤣. I really enjoyed this video😊

[@katyp.2495]

I used to get cystitis intermittently over the years, then wonder of wonders it stopped completely when the menopause hit. So wonderfully, no cystitis and no periods...utter bliss 😊. Love the cardi, such a useful item. I need something like that rather than a dressing gown for when I open the door to the Postie. Mind you, he's seen me in the most strangest accoutrements from a badly fitting and unflattering pair of leggings, to a silk evening frock that the BFF was pinning on me....K

[@RuthCrilly]

Haha, yes the dressing gown cardi is good for postman welcoming. Which sounds rude but isn't meant to!

[@katyp.2495]

My Postie is so used to seeing me in unusual states, he doesn't bat an eyelid any more...an occupational hazard I guess 😂!

[@karenporteous3626]

I'm in the same situation as you with utis. I have a mesh which I swear is causing my problems but the consultants say it isn't. I am taking d mannose too and it is helping. I have instillations booked for May. Not looking forward to that at all. Glad the dmannose is helping you too.

[@RuthCrilly]

What's a mesh? x

[@brunaminetti2817]

It works very well, I also use drops of Uva ursina, and eat cranberries 😘

[@kadriyak]

Great video! xo

[@jenh9499]

Viridian Cranberry Mannose is great, works like antibiotics - 5 day dose but no negative side effects like killing your good bacteria.

[@RuthCrilly]

Thank you, ,will try this also!

[@tracybownes7612]

Great video, love the cardi, is it still available ? X

[@BeeKay4444]

I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned that bathing often can inflame cystitis particularly with bath oils, bombs and many products can cause chronic cystitis just an FYI.

[@RuthCrilly]

Yes, I stopped oils for a whole year a while back but made no difference so I re introduced!

[@BeeKay4444]

@@RuthCrilly it is the worst feeling. I was at a wedding in 2019 and was ok -although ok for us chronics is ….just went to the loo and know where all toilets on the premises are located. 🙄 Anyway long story short between the ceremony and the reception I was in severe pain….turns out I was passing yet another frickin kidney stone. Like wtf? Woman really get the short end of the stick sometimes.

[@samnicol9388]

Loved the cardigan, looked it up and it’s $350 Australian dollars…..marked down from $633 Australian dollars. I fell over backwards in a faint. That’s a pretty expensive housecoat, robe, situ. I’ll admire it on you and wish it was in my price range.

[@powderandpaint14]

That would be out of most people's price ranges!

[@chicky6three]

I was recently beset by yet another UTI and tried D-Manoose. Then took a sleeping pill. Sometime later I googled whether more is more with D-M. I came across an article written by what I now know to be a disreptuable source and took five more tablets. I awoke six hours later and shat the bed. More is not more.

[@RuthCrilly]

Oh good God

[@Semapho0ore]

Cystatics 😭 Please make a video on it. Ive had it all my life. Had all the test etc. It drives me crazy.

[@Kucy12]

Ruth I hope you see this comment! I can absolutely relate to chronic UTI, it is the absolute worst and so debilitating & impossible to explain to anyone who doesn’t suffer. Dmannose has also been life changing for me, after suffering monthly UTI for a year, specialist no help, surgery found nothing, I got onto these and they were life changing. I haven’t had a UTI in over 3 years now. HOWEVER, I highly recommend getting to a good acupuncturist or naturopath, after all the antibiotics your gut health is completely out of whack and needs to be rebalanced. Mine has been working on my gut health, and I’m down to dmannose once a day instead of twice (I’ve even had periods of time not taking it at all, but stress will trigger it for me so I haven’t been able to maintain that for a long period of time YET). My acupuncturist is the only health care professional that actually understood and has made a difference, highly recommend!

[@maqsoombegum1412]

I take Holland Barretts triple strength cranberry tablets once a day. I’m glad you found something that’s helped you 😊 when tests come back normal and you know your body and know it’s not normal it’s extremely frustrating.

[@RuthCrilly]

Thank you!

[@susieklein7461]

I took cranberry pills for years. During a bad infection and follow-up cystoscopy, my urologist freaked out when he saw sores on my bladder wall. Yeah, the acid from the cranberry had caused them. Switched to D-Manose really quickly!

[@maqsoombegum1412]

@@susieklein7461 oh no sorry to hear that. That’s really bad. I should stop taking them. Thanks for letting me. Where can I get the tablets you are talking about? Hope your okay now.

[@basiaszendrei1603]

[@janethughes9541]

Using those oils in you bath could be connected to your cystitis my doctor has told me not to use fragrance soap down there, plain I scented soaps are best.

[@lauragarozzo3629]

UTI are the worst. Suffered For years until I discovered: Dmannose and... Lubricant! I take the pill and it's often dry down there. Gynecologist suggested that the "mechanical" friction could be a cause. Btw I once made the HUGE mistake to ignore the cystitis and not take the antibiotics: kidney stones, kidney infection (which almost spread to my ovaries), super high fever... Had to take antibiotics shots for weeks and it took almost a month to get better... Never again!

[@RuthCrilly]

Oh that's interesting re the friction x

[@lavoixdevelours]

What you were having does sound like bladder contractions. There are medications for it in case it ever comes back, but hopefully not!

[@jacitarlowe9713]

What is cystitis??? Is it the same as a UTI?

[@alicerabbit8]

Yes

[@lucylou8833]

I love you Ruth because you are real also have the crappy cystitis

[@theresam8212]

Ugh UTIs are the worst - and so difficult to get GPs to take it seriously. I'm part of a chronic UTI group and many people have been helped by Prof Malone Lee's treatment at the Harley Street Clinic. They seem to be leading the way on uti treatment that actually works (and they don't try to diagnose it at a million other things).

[@bcola2002]

I have an almost 6 month old baby and I love him to death but it has been a wild experience. I definitely want to check out that book.

[@dbbsharkey]

Can anyone explain exactly how D Mannose works to prevent UTI's ? Is it some kind of inhibitor or is it a water tablet?

[@chicky6three]

D-M is a "grabber". It's a sugar, the bacteria prefers to cling to it rather than the wall of the urethra. The sugar molecule with the bacteria attached then goes for a ride and is washed out in the pee. This is why we must drink a lot of water, for the water slide. *please take my explanation to be very scientificly thorough.

[@susieklein7461]

It’s a sugar derivative that binds bacteria which you then pee out.

[@rachaelquarry3382]

Are you sure the aromatherapy associates oils aren't triggering your cystitis? x

[@RuthCrilly]

Yeah, I stopped all oils etc for a year and still got the same old UTIs!

[@pranavhinduja1182]

Try cranberry juice for UTI's

[@powderandpaint14]

The thing I always wonder, with books like that, is do women not realise all that before they have a baby?! Do people just ignore other mothers until they have a child of their own.
