You're crazy, go to the doctor. I neglected a kidney infection for three weeks and nearly lost the kidney over it. I still have to back in for surgery in a few weeks. Go and get medical treatment.

I know, I know, I know. I shouldn't have brought this up on here really! Thanks though, I do know this, honestly.

Well I don't want to scare mongrer, my Mother did have other issues which made her more prone to infections like Diabeties and she had also been severely weakened by a severe case of shingles approx 3 months before she died but it was an issue for much of her life (I was actually prone to UTI'S through my childhood and teenage years as she had a serious one when pregnant with me) and it got much worse in the last few years - she kept getting them, would be given antibiotics but they never completely cleared it and it would be back a few months later. In her last few months, it became days later and all the time her body was building up resistance to the antibiotics. In Hospital during the last week's they tried all 13 different types and the infection was resistant to all of them.

As i say, i had recurrant UTI'S when young (made worse by having ME) and was eventually found (after an exploratory operation) to have an inflamed bladder as the underlying infection was never completely gone. After that i was given a treatment called Rhymso (think that was it's name) which was effectively a liquid put into my bladder via a catheter to rinse it out once a month, every month for a year when i was 18 and i have basically been fine since so there are things that can be done if caught early enough. With my Mother, nobody realised how bad it had got and as i say, she was very weak in other ways so it is kind of a worse case scenario and I don't want to scare people unnecessarily.

But, with my experience, the kind of thing they showed last night, stopping somebody going to the loo being presented as funny doesn't amuse me at all.

I would say, maybe to put your mind at rest, rather than self medicating with over the counter medicines (which can be very helpful) each time, if it is happening frequently, make an appointment with your GP saying how often it has been happening so you can get a urine test to check for underlying infections which they could then treat and check again after the antibiotics that it has cleared it completely.

Sorry, turned it into a medical phone in!

If it's made you go to the doctors, and maybe alerting other to potential risks, it's a good thing you did.

Good luck. I'm sure it will be fine but best to get it checked and treated if needs be.

Just to go back to Lewis, i've just rewatched and Aubrey did pass and looked at Lewis whilst he was sitting on the chair straight before Bear asked her for the food and didn't look at all impressed so i'm almost certain it was disgust at what Bear had done to him which triggered her spitting in the food.

I'm not defending that, 2 wrongs don't make a right but i can see the logic - he's going to make somebody suffer by having to not go to the loo when they need to, i'm going to do something equally horrible to him.

I wouldn't have spat in his food but i would have been furious and angry to see a fellow housemate humiliated and hurt in such a way as well. I'd probably just have gone in to complain to BB about it though.

Thanks.

Sorry for the de-rail all! Back to whether Lewis was being held against his will now eh?

Somebody needing the toilet shouldn't be used as pressure to make them fail a task. It just shouldn't because if they're silly or ill informed enough to not go to the toilet it can damage their health.

Making him sit in a chair if he's gasping for a smoke is fair game, but not when he's dying to go the toilet.
