Problem: Article: When you have a urinary tract infection, you will often feel like you need to go to the bathroom. Do not ignore these feelings. Go to the bathroom right away and empty your bladder as much as you can. Doing so should help you to feel a little more comfortable when you are dealing with a UTI. This common over-the-counter medicine can help to relieve the burning pain that comes with urination when you have a UTI. Pyridium alkalinizes the urine to increase the pH of the urine so that the urine does not burn as much as it travels down the infected urethra. Follow the instructions for how much to take and how often. A common dose is 200 mg three times daily. You will only need to take pyridium for two days until it begins to take effect. Do not take pyridium for more than two days without discussing it with your doctor. This medication should only be taken by adolescents 16 and older and adults. Keep in mind that this medication will cause your urine to turn bright orange. Some may also notice an orange tint to the eyes, and it may stain contact lenses. Pyridium may interfere with certain lab tests, so let the technician or doctor know you are taking it before giving a urine sample. Wearing loose-fitting cotton underwear and clothing will make it less likely that moisture will get trapped in your underwear and make your infection worse. It will also make it easier for you to remove your pants and underwear if you have to go to the bathroom in a hurry. Furthermore, loose-fitting clothing will help you to feel more comfortable than wearing something tight. Often times pelvic discomfort can occur with UTIs. Wearing nonrestrictive clothing will avoid excess pelvic pressure from occurring thus increasing comfort. Ask your doctor for recommendations on what to take and how much to help ease the pain that comes with a urinary tract infection. Tylenol (acetaminophen) and Motrin (ibuprofen) are good options. Certain conditions make the use of over-the-counter painkillers unsafe (for instance, if you take blood thinners, then drugs like ibuprofen should be avoided). Talk to your doctor about other medications you are taking and conditions you might have. Read and follow the package instructions for any over-the-counter medicine that you decide to take. General recommendations for healthy adults is between 3,000 and 4,000 mg in 24 hours. A heating pad may help to reduce some of the pain and discomfort that you feel in your back and lower abdomen as a result of the urinary tract infection. Purchase an electric heating pad to apply to your lower back or abdomen for 1015 minutes at a time. Make sure that you take breaks from using the heating pad. After you use it for 1015 minutes. Take it off for an hour. If you are using an electric heating pad, keep the heat set on low to avoid overheating. If you use the heating pad to relieve UTI pain at night, you'll need to turn it off before you go to sleep.
Summary: Go to the bathroom when you feel the urge to go. Take pyridium (phenazopyridine) to reduce the burning sensation when you urinate. Wear loose-fitting, cotton underwear and clothing. Take an over-the-counter painkiller. Use a heating pad.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Run a vacuum cleaner over your carpet several times, making sure you don't leave anything behind. Work slowly rather than sweeping the floor in fast strokes. For smaller rugs, you can use a rug beater or even a wooden spoon to knock the dust and debris out. Sometimes color fades unevenly and you may be able to bring your carpet or rug back to life by identifying and cleaning grimy patches. The paste should be the consistency of moderately thick oatmeal. Use a spoon or even a butter knife to spread the mixture. Be sure to cover the entire stain. This ensures the chemicals have time to break apart the stains. Let the mixture dry naturally. Use a gentle scrubbing motion in all directions until you've completely removed the mixture. Drying time for carpets generally take 5 to 24 hours, depending on how thick the carpet is and what method you use to dry it. To speed up the process, use a fan to dry larger rooms or turn on the heat in your house. Allowing a carpet to dry naturally takes longer. Once your carpet dries, you'll see any stains you've overlooked.

SUMMARY: Vacuum your carpet or rug. Examine your carpet or rug for dull patches. Mix cup each of salt, white vinegar, and Borax in a bowl to form a paste. Spread the stain removal mixture over any stains you find. Allow the mixture to sit for 2 to 3 hours. Remove the mixture using a cloth and warm water. Dry your carpet or rug thoroughly.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It can be difficult to forgive others when you are still struggling to come to terms with things that you did, said, or that happened to you. Release yourself of any guilt, shame, or pain that you associate with past relationships so that you can build new relationships of trust, love, and respect. Lovers often do small things that bother one another. If you want to love your partner, let those things go. Holding a grudge or keeping count of any time your partner hurts you will only diminish your relationship. This will also make you a more negative person. For example, if your partner makes a joke about your shoes, it is okay to mention that it bothered you, but it does not give you a free pass to say something bothersome to them. If you have been deeply hurt, you will need to allow yourself to feel and express that pain before you can move past it. Meditate on your feelings around the situation, or talk through it with a close friend. Once you come to terms with your feelings, you can start doing things to let them out. Some common ways that people deal with pain are: Exercise regularly. Find a creative outlet. Spend time with friends and family. Seek counseling. Whether the person apologizes or not, forgiving them is necessary for you to move on. Have a talk with them or write a letter to declare that you have forgiven the pain that you were caused. If you had any fault in the situation, this is a good time to apologize as well. If you do not know how to find the person or feel that it is inappropriate to contact them, you can write a letter, but do not send it.
Summary: Forgive yourself first. Avoid scorekeeping. Express true pain. Let the pain go.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you're tired, it can be easy to just grab whatever is handy. Instead of reaching for a bag of chips or a pint of ice cream, try something a little more healthy but equally filling. Keep your pantry and refrigerator stocked with nutritious foods so you don't reach for something that can set you back. Fruits, carrot sticks, granola and cereal bars, nuts, wheat crackers, low-fat cheese and yogurt are all relatively easy to prepare but will leave you satisfied. If you take some time to split bulk foods into individual portions ahead of time, that will help when you don't have the energy to prepare something. It may be hard to find time to nap, but this will help reset your body to give you more energy in the daytime and give your body the rest it needs to repair itself, which includes losing pregnancy weight. In addition, sleeping when you're tired helps decrease the amount of cortisol in your blood; this is the stress hormone that can make it harder for you to lose weight. After the first few months, you can go back to your previous workout routine. You may find at first that you've lost fitness; be patient with yourself while you work back up to your pre-baby fitness level. Try cardio exercises like running, swimming, biking or hiking several times per week for half an hour at a time. Do light weight training to gain muscle strength. Take an aerobics class designed specifically for new moms. The instructor will focus on "trouble" areas to help you get back to your pre-pregnancy body. Take a post-pregnancy yoga class to improve your muscle tone. This could be a "mommy and me" type class or just a fun group of ladies in your town who lean on each other for support. These women can help you stay motivated and focused on your goal of losing baby weight.
Summary:
Watch your snack intake. Sleep when you need to. Do heavier workouts. Locate a support group for new moms.
