Customer Reviews: A must have read for all cystitis suffers! Angela Kilmartin truly is a God send. I found this book on Amazon, when searching for help following yet another bout of cystitis. I can truly say I have not looked back since. Infact, I think each GP practice should give the details of this book to Patients attending with urinary tract infections instead of the useless advice of drinking cranberry juice. Angela Kilmartin's advice is clear, direct and authoritative. She gives an account of her own experience of living with years of constant cystitis and thrush and how she found the techniques to stop them. Angela gives you the information to be your "own Detective" and find out the triggers for your cysitis attacks and therefore be able to prevent them. The biggest emphasis is on personnel hygiene which you need to follow to the letter for success. Some people may criticise this as being a tad OCD, but believe me, if you have suffered the agony, frustration and tears that cystitis brings, you will not find the little extra effort involved to prevent it a problem. Three cheers for Angela Kilmartin!
Say goodbye to cystitis forever!!!!! I've been following Dr Kilmartin's advice about bottle washing since the day I read this book almost a year ago. I had been suffering with honeymoon cystitis on a regular basis, and the advice she gives on cleanliness is brilliant. I thought I was scrupulously clean anyway, but a quick wash down below twice a day in addition to showering and clean undies works a treat. No more cystitis, no more antibiotics, no more days sitting on the loo with a gallon of water going through my system. I would recommend this book to anyone suffering from frequent cystitis, it will change your life...
How to develop an OCD... I felt that although some of the information in the book was useful- about the causes of cystitis etc but a lot of the "preventative" techniques were impracticle and bordering on obsessive. Cleanliness and hygiene are essential for avoiding this condition but it doesn't mean it has to take over your life! This advice is the same that was around 30 years ago. Do yourself a favour and use common sense rather than obsessive routines that disrupt normal life almost as much as a UTI itself.
It works!!!!!! I have been following Angela's advice for about six years now. I can't say I've never had another attack, but the difference has been transforming. On the rare occassions I do get an attack now I know exactly how to 'nip it in the bud' and minimise the pain and discomfort. I used to suffer very frequent attacks with lots of bleeding and excruciating pain. Nothing helped me until I started taking Angela's advice. I am so extremely grateful to her, as she has made such a difference to my life.
The best book for cystitis This book saved me; in more ways than one. It saved my mental state, my relationship and cured me from constant cystitis. Please please please, if you know ANYONE with frequent cystitis, advise them to buy this book. People with Chronic Bladder Infections do not have to live on anti-biotics, with thrush, unable to drink alcohol, living in fear of sex..... this book has the answers. Since buying the book 5 years ago, after constant cystitis for a entire year, GP's had recommended me to a urologist, my immune system was exhausted after continuous anti-biotics. I read this book and havent had an infection since.The answers are simple+ Kilmartin is a Godsend!
