Maybe....

I mentioned that I've been in a foul mood lately.  Like really really angry and mad and awful mood.  Not 100% of the time, but way more often than felt "ok".

A few days ago, I also noticed that I was starting to have the symptoms of a UTI... "mild" enough that I was trying to deal with it myself (despite my doctor telling me last time not to do that.... ahem) and it wasn't getting better and I started to honestly wonder if my massive anger was maybe partly due to the fact my body was fighting a slight infection....(?) so yesterday I called my pharmacy and used the new-to-BC system of getting help from my pharmacist and last night I started a round of antibiotics for the infection.  

This morning, I'm feeling physically better and so far emotionally/mentally better, and it's the first night in a few days I haven't woken up in the middle of the night to pee and then be way too hot to fall back asleep, which I now wonder if that was a fever.... 

So maybe it's all just coincidence... or maybe my really really really really bad/angry mood was part of my system working against an illness.  I suppose in some ways it doesn't matter if I'm feeling better, but I always like to try to find the "why" of things so I can avoid or reduce their impact if they happen again.
