Did you see a doctor about the urinary problems? I have a 15 year old who went through this too. She was diagnosed with renal retention. Had a cath put in for 10 days before she could go on her own. One month later put in hospital with kidney stones due to urine backing up over time. I see in one of your statements you have poor health. What is wrong? My daughter has Immuno deficiency - neutropenea.

I would get to the doctor asap! Something is definitely going on if you haven't urinated for 3 days. You need to get some tests done to find out what the problem is. Does your Mom know about this? If not you need to fill her in so she can help you get the help you need. I have heard cranberry juice helping a bladder infection but usually with a bladder infection you still urinate. Also with a bladder infection you constantly feel like you have to pee and there is a burning sensation. So please Tonisha, get to a doctor right away. I can't say for sure but it seems like something to do with your kidney's. The earlier you catch health issues, the easier they can be corrected.
Best of luck to you.
