Kidney failure of infection?
Hi there,
I have been suffering from a mystery illness since Sunday morning. The cause I do believe is due to payday I went out clubbing two nights in a row, and consumed and mixed alot of alcohol on both occasions, and also snorted a fair bit of cocaine on the Saturday evening. (I know its stupid I sometime use it recreationally but I understand thats where the problems start so I am stopping all use of cocaine.)
The next day I felt unable to sleep, sick to my stomach I could not consume any food but was not vomiting it was purely nausea. I was weak and couldnt walk about and also had dirrohea. I thought it was a hangover, but I felt the same the next day also not being able to eat meals, only liquid and soft foods.
Today I feel the same, and have been suffering from lack of sleep, I feel weak have a dry cough, I feel sick and have no appetite a headache and pains in my side and kidney.
Any idea what this could be?
Thanks

Women are most at risk of developing a kidney infection as well as other urinary tract infections (UTIs), such as cystitis.
In women, the urethra is closer to the anus than it is in men, making it easier for bacteria from the anus to accidentally enter the urethra. The female urethra is also much shorter than the male urethra (which runs through the penis). This makes it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder and move into the kidneys.
Other factors can put you more at risk of developing a kidney infections. They are listed below.
•Having a condition that blocks, or obstructs, your urinary tract, such as kidney stones.
•Having a condition that prevents you emptying your bladder fully, such as an injury to your spinal cord.
•Having a weakened immune system – for example, due to type 2 diabetes, or as a side effect of treatments that weaken the immune system, such as steroid tablets or chemotherapy.
•Having an infection of the prostate gland called prostatitis, because the infection can spread from the prostate gland into the kidneys.
•Being female and sexually active. This is because sexual intercourse can irritate the urethra and allow bacteria to travel more easily through it and into your bladder.
•Having a urinary catheter (a thin, flexible tube that's inserted into your bladder to drain away urine).

The following works for simple cold, running nose, sore throat and strep throat, when the throat is hurting.
The most visible thing about sinus is swelling.
The easiest way to control swelling is to give up water and all other liquids for 24 hours. In 24 hours there will be no significant dehydration to cause organ failure. But to be double sure one can stay indoors for 24 hours.
Now if you decided to try it the next problem is that one who is used to drinking water or other liquids feel thirsty quite often. They find it very difficult to manage without water for more than 6 hours. For that follow one of the following routines. The option 1 is better then 2 and 2 is better then 3.
1). Start drinking 1 glass of water 1 hour before each meal. So in all there will be 3 glasses of water in 24 hours. Give up all other liquids. After 3-4 days this will help u to stay without water for 24 hours or more.
2). Start drinking 2 glasses of water with 1/2 spoon of salt 1 hour before each meal. (Those with very high blood pressure - may do so at their own risks. But others who do not suffer from very high blood pressure may do so by taking their blood pressure every day). After 4-5 days you can stay without water for 24 hours or more without water and other liquids.
3). First thing in the morning drink tea (on empty stomach). It should be normal tea not too strong nor too light. One should not take anything with tea. No water or anything before or after tea for atleast 2 hour. Tea on empty stomach leaves a bitter taste in mouth. Resist drinking water or any other liquid for next 3-4 hours. After this the bitter taste will be gone. AFter this there will be no thirst signals. For the next 48 hours there will be enough fluid in your mouth and food pipe. You can eat your normal meals minus any liquids for next 24 hours. This will resolve all health issues including poor digestion.
In 24 hours the reduction in the fluids will be about 3 litres or about 5% of the total body weight of a normal adult.
Never the swelling due to sinus or cold and cough is more than 5% of the body volume.
During this period of 24 hours the lose of water from the body does not reduce even by 1% to offset reduced water intake.
The reduction in loss of body water thru urine or sweating starts after 48 hours in most of people. But to be on safe side giving up water and liquids for 24 hours will do the trick.
The reduced swelling will give immediate relief from pain. It will make is much more easier to eliminate the cough thru nose without any pain.
That will also improve the blood acid levels by about 10%. This makes changes at the cell level as well. Blood acid levels are the first line of defense against the infections.
So swelling gone, pain gone, cough moving out, infections taken care of. Now what remains in the body for the next change of season time. Obviously nothing.
So it has already given u long term relief from sinus. But in some cases one may get sinus during next change of season and may have to do this again. The reason is during change of season the body must adjust the water that is stored in the body. Due to some cell level changes the ability of the body to bring those changes is lost. But after 2-3 seasons that ability of the body will be restored and there will be complete relief from sinus.
You may refer to Kole on yahoo answers. He posted that he got lot of relief. You may check his comment on my best answers of 14.8.2011
To decide whether the above is right or not, you may comment whether u are in the habit of regularly drinking water and other liquids or out of work or other reasons u remain without water and other liquids for long periods of time. Those who are very regular in drinking water and other liquids are more prone to sinus and related complications. People who are extremely dehydrated are also very likely to face sinus and related complications. Those who are on and off with water are not likely to face this sinus thing.
