Cystitis / Urinary Tract Infection - Territory Marking Conflict

 

Written in 2016: two days ago I had an evening contradictory discussion with my husband about parenting - how permissive we should be, how indifferent, how much we should or shouldn't "mind the kid", etc. - the point is that I felt attacked for my point of view, my decisions about how I approach parenting were ignored or highly disputed, given that I spend much more time with the child at home. The discussion started around 7pm, resumed at 8pm and calmly cleared up. We cleared up all the issues, prejudices and the wrong way my husband was looking at things as far as I was concerned - wrong conclusions drawn because of the limited time he had spent at home lately. Finally things were cleared up.


The next day, about 10-12 hours after the discussion, I woke up with symptoms of urinary infection/cystitis (I don't know which one because I didn't take the time to find out). Namely: burning sensation when urinating, desire to urinate often, cold like the beginning of chills. All too familiar symptoms from my student days when my territory was "violated" by my parents and decisions ignored and when I suffered for 2 years, month after month from this problem. Until finding out about New German Medicine I took antibiotics monthly for 2 years, then Biseptol, then Urinal, then cranberry tincture which I carried around in my bag every day because I didn't know when I would need it again - I didn't know then what to do. A simple serious and firm discussion with my parents would have helped me...if I knew...

How to explain the situation? In the wild animals often urinate when marking their territory - I felt someone had entered my "territory" and I had to "mark" it. That's why I felt the need to urinate so often.

What did I do? I calmly drank a cup of water and thought about what recent conflict might have triggered my symptoms. Apart from the discussion with my husband, which initially bothered me a lot, I had no other explanation. As soon as I became aware of the problem, all symptoms disappeared immediately. The whole thing lasted a maximum of 30 minutes.  Good day to all of you, and stay healthy!"

Thank you, Dr. Hamer!
