| 4 | resistant blatter infection | extreme weakness, fogginess, depression. I could not function on this drug. Extreme neurological side effects. It was my only option to treatment of the bacteria I had, except shots. I think I would rather have had the shots. This was a scary experience. 100 mg, twice daily. I am a 159# female. | 7 days | 9/30/2006 | 3 | urinary tract infections | | 10/21/2001 | 3 | UTI | Flu like symptoms, sore throat, anxiety. I can't believe how many people have bad side effects. Who knows what the long term effects on our bodies will be if a drug is this harsh. | It did clear up the UTI | F | 7 days | 11/3/2008 | 3 | UTI | None | I experienced no side effects after taking this drug, and I am sensitive to sulfa drugs (had a bad reaction to the Bactrim which was first prescribed). I would give it a higher rating, but unfortunately I am having to take a second round of antibiotic (different one) as the Macrobid did not completely eliminate the infection. | 7 days | 7/13/2008 | 2 | UTI | blood in stool, stomach pain | Felt better before taking this...waiting to hear what they'll put me on now | M | 2 days | 2/27/2009 | 2 | UTI | Headache (really bad), nausea, burning rash after 3 days of taking medication. | Worked so-so on the UTI. I also took cranberry pills from AZO and bought the cranberry juice w/o sugar (more expensive but works better). Still have the rash and burning on neck/chest after discontinuing medication. | 3 days | 5/17/2009 | 2 | prostatitis due to resistant staph | General weakness, fatigue, chills, head ache, and back pain. | Were running out of drug options here, as few anti bacterials can penetrate the prostate wall. Macrobid is known to NOT have that quality. My Md suggested we try it anyway because there's not much left to try. The next option is levaquin, which can be much worse in the side effects dept. Unfortunately, I don't think macrobid is doing the job. | M | 5 days | 4/24/2007 | 2 | Adding to what I just posted: Forgot to mention that also while taking macrobid, that in addition to the horrible headache, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramping, and rash that I also have something going on with my heart rhythm that's worrisome. I have PVC once and a while but last night they were almost constant for quite a while...almost went to ER. | F | | 4/1/2007 | 2 | Just looked up Herxheimer Reaction as recommended by another posting. | Herxheimer reaction only states that those are the symptoms for those who are treating their infection with Collidial Silver..not macrobid. | | 4/15/2007 | 1 | | 6/9/2005 | 1 | uti | I had extreme sickness feelings and hot flashes also some headaches occured~ | F | 6 days | 8/25/2004 | 1 | uti | Severe rash on legs and buttocks large itchy welts. I have had rash for about 2 weeks now, also on my fingers | F | 4 days 50 mg | 10/22/2012 | 1 | bladder infection | After approx 10 pills, I started to experience the chills & severe body aches. I thought I was coming down with the flu. The next day, the symptoms continued. I slept practically all day and could not move my body. I felt as if I was paralyzed! At night I noticed a rash on my my legs, with welts further down on my shins and ankles. The pharmacist told me an allergic reaction should have started earlier, but the nurse at the gyn said sometimes it takes time for the medicine to build up and actually cause an allergic reaction. I have never been allergic to anything, but I guess I am now allergic to Macrobid. I was relieved to see so many other people with the same side effects. | I would never take this medicine again, and I don't recommend it to anyone. | F | 5 days | 1/19/2006 | 1 | UTI | continuation of my post......In all fairness to my Dr., he prescribed Macrobid because I have an allergy to sulfa. | | 5/19/2006 | 1 | family member | It started with low grade fever, then chills, and Hugh hives (silver dollars) that traveled around her body and sometimes looked like bull’s-eyes everywhere. Golf ball size bumps on her head. No amount of medication seems to touch her uneasiness and franticness due to the medication she is taking for the urticaria/hives. She goes back for the 5th time to LA was also sent to a derm(thought it was a virus). She is disinterested in food and is dizzy. She had some temporary relief after getting adrenaline IV. | She is allergic to penicillin. I would not take macobid or allow family to take it because I feel it might be a familiar reaction and I am also getting leery of generic medications now. I do believe it works for a good segment of the population, but you need to be aware of your families history | F | 0 | 5 days | 8/9/2009 | 1 | uti, then my son for a uti | The first time I took it I told my kids to fold the socks for dads lunch, then I ran through three stop signs while driving on a major hwy. I got chest pains, irreg. heartbeat, felt like I was on atorture chamber with all my joints so bad I couldn't stand, SO BAD. I thought I was dying. I really thought I was choking to death. The doc just gave it to my son, he took one dose, his eyes dilated funny, got short breath, funny heart beat. He is ten! Wish I could give this drug a zero rating! | NEVER AGAIN will I let my children or myself take this drug, and I even told the doc i didn't want it for my son and he told me I KNEW NOTHING!! NEVER AGAIN! will I take or give this med! Macrobid is macroBAD! | F | 10 | 1 days 2X D | 5/3/2012 | 3 | UTI | Depressed, feeling not to eat, feeling angry at some points | F | 12 | 7 days 100 MG | 7/21/2012 | 4 | UTI | Nausea, a little more tired than usual, slight rash on my inner thighs. Nothing too terrible, though and it cleared up the UTI pretty fast. | I was put on a much more midly anti-biotic about three and a half weeks before Macrobid for a previous infection that didn't clear entirely. It was only for five days. To treat it more agressivly because it was so plainful I could not sit, Macrobid was purscribed. Nothing that bad happened, slept a bit more, was mildly nauseous right after taking the pill even with food, and a stinging rash on my inner thighs, but that was mild too. It cleared up the infection, so whatever. Although I only gave it a four because of the rash. If there was a 3.5, that's what I'd give it. | F | 15 | 7 days 100 MG 2X D | 6/24/2010 | 1 | bladder infection | My 15 yr old daughter has taken this medication two other times. The last time she took it, three days into treatment she started running a fever and having difficulty breathing. The Dr. said she had pneumonia and she was given another antibiotic. She got another bladder infection this week and was given Macrobid again. Three hours after her first dose she started having a cough every time she tried to take a deep breath. She said she felt like she did when she had pneumonia. Her chest felt heavy and hurt. 4 hours after her second dose she was runniing a 102 degree fever had chills, body aches, she felt agitated like she couldn't sit still. Bad headache and dizziness and almost passed out. I called the Dr. and told them she was experiencing every side effect except for the rash. Her skin even hurt. She was having a reaction to the Macrobid but nobody put two and two together the last time when they thought she had pneumonia. They switched her to Cipro and she will never tak | I am surprised that the Dr. didn't associate this with the last time she took it and got so sick. | F | 15 | 1 days | 7/4/2006 | 2 | UTI | persistent diarreah/constipation, foul smelling gas, nausea, bloated, nausea, fatigue, discharge when pooping | It did clear up my uti but the nausea was terrible. i'm still taking macrobrid currently because my doctor said to finish all the antibiotics though my body has become reluctant to take it on a regular schedule. I'm trying to just finish it and every time I take it I do feel horrible. I get white linings around my stools, and feel as if I need to go random times of the day. For some reason it doesn't even really alarm me, I just feel this sudden burst of gas in my rectum that tells me that I need to go. Using the restroom to go number 2 often comes with foul smelling gas that proceed with it. At first I thought I was pregnant but it could be the fact that this constant ongoing constipation was also the same common side effects of macrobrid everyone else has been experiencing. I do however, applaud the antibiotics for its healing of my UTI. I hope it does not relapse. For now, my body aches for it to be off these terrible antibiotics. | F | 16 | 7 days 2X D | 10/13/2010 | 1 | UTI/Kidney Infection | 104 fever, headache, nausea, lethargy | After 3 doses my 16 yr old daughter ended up in the ER to bring down 104 fever that would not respond to OTC fever reducers. They even checked for meningitis since the headache was so bad. Did nothing for the kidney infection. ER doc wondered why she had been prescribed this med to begin with. Ended up on IV Cipro. Will never use this med on her again. | F | 16 | 2 days | 1/15/2009 | 5 | UTI | Absolutely none. | I get UTIs almost monthly. They always put me on Macrobid and it always cures me completely! I've never had any problems and I'm clearly a frequent user | F | 17 | 7 days 100 2X D | 7/14/2010 | 3 | UTI | extreme lower abdominal discomfort similar to menstrual cramps, extreme fatigue, malaise, nausea, diarrhea | All of my UTI symptoms gone, but I wish I would have known the side-effects of this antibiotic before taking it... I missed school today and will see another doctor tomorrow about any way to get off this. I feel like throwing up. I've been taking it for 3 days so far. | F | 17 | 3 days | 11/18/2008 | 3 | urinary tract infection | The side effects is that i had severe stomach pains. It was hard to sleep at night because my chest was hurting me. | F | 17 | 7 days | 2/1/2005 | 1 | UTI | fatigue, shortness of breath, headaches, extremely light headed | i would not recommend macrobid to anybody. after taking it for 1 day i already had extreme side effects | F | 17 | 1 days | 8/9/2009 | 3 | UTI | Stomach pain, vomiting, headaches. | I was on the medication for a UTI and if I didn't eat with it, I was very nauseous. On the last two nights of the medication, I didn't eat at all and became very sick in the middle of the night. The meds work, but make sure you eat A LOT when taking them. | F | 18 | 5 days | 11/24/2008 | 3 | UTI | I took one pill last night and I woke up with what I thought were giant itchy bug bites.. until I realized they were all over my body, and then I realized I was having an allergic reaction. Every time I scratch somewhere, more hives appear. Other side effects from the past include headache, nausea, shortness of breath, and dizziness. | I have taken Macrobid many times before, and it usually cures my bladder infection. One time, however, it did not work and I had a UTI for over a month! | F | 18 | 1 days | 4/20/2006 | 3 | UTI | Extreme nausea. Ive been on it 3 days and I feel like Im going to throw up all the time. I guess the burning while I pee is gone but I honestly did not notice it much before. I feel so ill and I am not sure if it is due to this drug or not but who knows. I have 4 days left on it so I am hoping I will feel better soon. | F | 18 | 7 days 100 MG 2X D | 12/9/2010 | 2 | UTI | Experienced pain caused by what I thought was a bladder infection, was put on macrobid 2x a day for 7 days. Finished the pills and 2 days later experienced the same symptoms (burning while urinating etc) and called my doc. She did another urine test and put me back on macrobid. Ever since I've been excessively sweating (in rooms that are cold) and I have noticed a slight drop in my immune system. I used to be very healthy but now I feel as if this antibiotic is slowing me down. I have flu like symptoms and I'm very itchy. This didn't happen during the first week that I consumed the pills. | F | 18 | 7 days | 10/8/2012 | 1 | Questionable UTI | Nausea, Bright Colored Urine, Lower Back Aches, Eye Soreness | I had been tested for a UTI by my doctor, but the results were "questionable". I was initially prescribed Bactrim, but it had given me unusual side effects and I was prescribed Nirtofur-Macr 100 MG. I took the first dose last night and I felt so nauseated. My urine turned a very bright yellow, with a green-ish tinge. I began to develop lower back aches that began on my right side. I went to sleep last night, and woke up and the aching pain in my back had switched to the left side of my lower back. Currently, it is all around my lower back. I'm so conflicted because I am not sure if it is the medicine that is bringing pain to my lower back, or if it is the beginning of some Kidney infection. After reading all of this, I am honestly very afraid to take my second dose. | F | 18 | 1 days 100MG 2X D | 2/13/2011 | 1 | UTI | I'm only on my 2nd day and I feel as though I've been walking around high and loopy all day. I am extremely dizzy and lightheaded. In addition to this I have severe joint pain, blurry vision, muscle aches particularly around the neck and elbows, an extremely sore throat (it feels as though I have strep), headaches and extreme fatigue. | I took Macrobid because I have recurring UTIs and am allergic to Bactrim and Cipro. At first, I attributed the flu-like symptoms to my roommates being sick but I've since realized it's the medicine since my symptoms do not match theirs. I am no longer going to take this medicine after reading all the other horror stories and wait to be prescribed something else. This drug is awful and needs to be taken off the market immediately. | F | 18 | 7 days 100 2X D | 2/19/2010 | 1 | chronic UTI's | My hands wend completely numb the following morning of taking the medication and my stomach and bladder had serious pains and i ended up in the hospital for it. I wouldn't recomend it! | F | 18 | 2 days | 9/10/2007 | 1 | UTI | My daughter had been ill for a couple of months (fevers, fatigue, etc.) and was prescribed macrobid for a possible UTI. After taking the medicine for 5 days (out of the 10 day prescribed duration), she went for a blood test to find a reason for her other symptoms. Her liver function tests were dangerously elevated. The doctor was talking about doing a liver biopsy. I went online to research this drug and discovered that it has been linked to elevated liver enzymes. After stopping macrobid, subsequent blood tests showed her liver function tests gradually decreased and returned to normal about 6 weeks later. | F | 18 | 5 days | 4/11/2008 | 1 | UTI | hives, fever, chills, nausea, felt like the flu only with hives. i was miserable and bedridden for 2 days. | this is the only medication i have ever had side effects with my entire life. Try phenazoypyrid instead. | F | 18 | 5 days | 2/14/2008 | 1 | UTI | Severe Nausea,heartburn, indigestion, I thought I was dieing, went to the emergency doctor told me that I had heartburn from the baby growing, I immediatly stopped taking it even though they told me to continue it. | DO NOT CONTINUE THIS MEDICINE IF YOU FEEL SICK WEAK NAUSEA HEARTBURN - Go To emergency!! | F | 18 | 2 days | 1/22/2010 | 5 | UTI | None. | Stopped the burning feeling when peeing very quickly. | F | 19 | 7 days 100MG 2X D | 7/22/2010 | 4 | uti | I had a constant slight headache, that occasionally got bad. some nausea but not too severe. fatigue | i started taking this for a uti, about a day after I noticed that i had a dry throat. I figured it was just a side effect and shrugged it off. As time progressed I was feeling a lot better, but still had a sore throat with some congestion. About a day before my last dose I got a terrible fever of about 102 with fatigue and diziness. I thought it was a side effect, I called the doctor and they said that this medicine shouldn't give me the fever. I then decided to go to the doctor, they said that a bacterial infection formed in my throat and that's what was causing the fever and sore throat. I'm now using amoxicillin for the uti and the the bactirea in my throat. don't be afraid to call a doctor. Not everything is a side effect of the medicine, this website kinda scared me, but now i discovered that the UTI macrobid was doing it's job. | F | 19 | 5 days | 9/17/2009 | 3 | UTI TREATMENT | AFTER THE FIRST DAY OF TAKING THIS MEDICATION, IT DID HELP BECAUSE IT NO LONGER BURNED WHEN I WENT PEE BUT DAYS FOLLOWING, I HAD A BAD REACTION TO THIS MEDICINE. MY THROAT SWELLED UP, IT FELT LIKE I HAD PINS AND NEEDLES ON MY HEAD, MY ARMS BROKE OUT IN A RASH, AND THE WORST PART WAS THE PAIN WHEN TRYING TO SWALLOW FROM BEING SO SWOLLEN. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS BE CAREFUL OF THIS MEDICINE. IT HELPED ME OUT WITH THE UTI BUT GAVE ME A REALLY BAD REACTION AFTER. I WON'T BE TAKING THIS MEDICATION EVER AGAIN. | F | 19 | 7 days | 9/17/2007 | 2 | UTI | I had just gotten my appetite back after having been on Avelox for 8 days (which also caused me fainting and dehydration) for a sinus infection - then I had to take Macrobid for a UTI. Approximately 1 hour after taking the Macrobid, I got a headachey, flu-like feeling and lost my appetite again. After the second dose, I had some pretty nasty nausea and discolored urine. | I don't understand how my UTI has no symptoms, but when I had symptoms 3 months ago, I didn't have any infection. What the? Anyway, I'm going to stop the Macrobid because I can't eat again! | F | 19 | 2 times | 12/3/2005 | 1 | UTI | extreme nausea | I took this medicine because I am 10 weeks pregnant with a UTI. I found that the only thing it did for me was make my nausea worse. None of my UTI symptoms went away and I still have the UTI!!! | F | 19 | 7 days | 7/5/2007 | 1 | UTI | I ended up in the hospital with pancreatitis because of this medicine. My body is very sensitive to antibiotics and this one tops the list of worst medicines. | Take a traditional antibiotic, not macrobid... take amoxicillin or something else | F | 19 | 5 days | 7/11/2007 | 1 | UTI | very exhausted, hungry, dizzy, slurred my words, forgot what I was saying, extremely painful nipples, slight yeast infection, fever | I don't like this drug. I'm in college and I don't have time to deal with feeling like a giant slug when trying to keep up my 4.0. I won't recommend this to anyone -- my symptoms have only slightly cleared up. I don't want to scream when I urinate any longer, but I can still tell something is not right down there. I feel hot and groggy all the time and I never, ever have sore breasts/nipples. THEY ARE KILLING ME!!! | F | 19 | 10 days | 1/15/2008 | 1 | UTI | I took one pill at night and got severe body pain and depression. My stomach, neck and my whole back hurt as if my torso was being crushed. It was hard to breath because it hurt too much to take a deep breath of air. | I only took one pill so far, I ate with it because it said it helps, but it didnt. I skipped the morning pill because I was afraid of having the side effects again. I just took another pill and have to go to work at 7 am and I am hoping that the side effects wont be worse, but after reading all of these terrible comments, things arent looking up. I would not recommend this drug. | F | 19 | 7 days 100MG 2X D | 8/29/2010 | 1 | kidney infection | (This was Nitrofurantoin Mono/Mac). Constant nausea and vomiting, constant extreme headaches, fevers, chills, body aches, back aches. | (This was Nitrofurantoin Mono/Mac). Do not take this. It doesn't help as I still have my kidney infection and now have to move to another medication because the Nitrofurantoin might have resulted in serious complications that I need to go to the doctor for next week. The nausea is unbearable. I couldn't sleep for the past 3 nights because I was shaking too intensely and sweating so much that I soaked through both sides of my comforter. DO NOT TAKE THIS. EVER. | F | 19 | 5 days 100 MG 2X D | 12/9/2010 | 1 | UTI | I am 30 weeks pregnant. I experienced nausea loss of appitite dry cough rapid heart beat severe chest pain light headedness and it made me really tired. I took it with food , just as it said to do . | i have learned , from doing some research from feeling these side effects , that macrobid can be harmful to pregnancy both early and late in gestation. please stay away from this , it made me feel horrible !!! | F | 19 | 1 days | 9/21/2006 | 5 | UTI | I experienced no side effects from the medication, however I was actively miscarrying at the time and could have missed some or thought it was related to the pregnancy-loss. | Cleared it up rather quickly with no side effects. | F | 20 | 3 days | 1/22/2006 | 5 | UTI | Very mild nausea the second day but no side effects after that. | This drug worked best for me to help cure my UTI. I usually don't have any allergic reactions to drugs so that may have been why I didn't have any severe side effects like the ones posted by others. I would recommend this drug to others. | F | 20 | 7 days 100 MG 2X D | 6/8/2011 | 4 | Recurrent UTIs | UTIs: I really didn't notice the side effects until around the tenth time I took Macrobid for a UTI. Mild nausea and out of breath a little sooner than I normally would be. Long term prevention: I tried taking 100 mg/day of Macrobid for the prescribed 3 months but gave up because after a couple weeks, I just felt out of wack. I had a harder time finishing meals and just felt a little weaker than I used to, and yeast infections required more than one round of treatment, so I quit. | When you are on Macrobid, REST! I have had 30 UTIs in about 3 years, and Macrobid is my drug of choice. I can always count on it! My E.Coli are resistant to Cipro after having taken it I think 4 times, and Cipro always gave me a yeast infection. UTI came back the one time I took Bactrium. Macrobid is my life saver! I do recommend though, if you have my issue of recurrent infections, drink 8 oz of 100% cranberry juice everyday, avoid the long term antibiotic. | F | 20 | 7 days 100 MG 2X D | 3/18/2011 | 4 | UTI | EXTREME fatigue, nausea, headache, weakness | I'm on my third or fourth day, and I slept 12 and a half hours last night and I feel like I could sleep another 12. I can barely stay awake during the day, and I have a hard time processing complex information. The first two days I had a very bad headache that lasted the whole day. Make sure you take it with a good meal otherwise you will get very nauseous. I have been avoiding coffee since I found that it made me even more nauseous on this medication | F | 20 | 7 days 30 2X D | 9/23/2011 | 4 | Night sweats, fever, extreme nausea, anxiety, chills, achy feeling, flu like symptoms.. | Ive been prescribed this med a few times, the first time, I took the full course, no problems and it cleared up my UTI, the second time, i had mild nausea and a few headaches, but it still cleared up my UTI, the third time, I woke up in the middle of the night and i thought i was dying.. i had pressure on my chest, lots of sweating, extreme nausea, then chills, and I felt very very anxious... still cleared up my UTI.. a few days ago, i was prescribed it again.. VERY scared to take it, but ive taken 2 doses so far, already feel mild nausea, and lots of itching.. it seems the more and more you take it, the worse it gets?... Im considering calling me DR. for a new medicene. Take at your own risk. | F | 20 | 30 days | 2/28/2006 | 4 | Urinary tract infection | Bad Headaces! | I NEVER have any side effects when I take any medication but with this I would go to bed with a headace and wake up with one they are horrible! | F | 20 | 3 days | 4/11/2006 | 3 | bladder infection | headache, sinus pain, chest pain. | F | 20 | 7 days | 7/22/2005 | 3 | Suspected UTI | Extreme nausea. | I did not experience nausea until day 3. I believe this was because I took it on an empty stomach - it is very important to have food with this drug! | F | 20 | 3 days | 5/20/2009 | 3 | Bladder Infection | I had my bladder infection for a week before I treated it. It was so bad my psoas muscle was acting up and giving me horrible pain. The first day on macrobid cleared up my UTI, it also helped my chills and fever. In the night however, the worse fever I had in years kicked in. All my joints were in pain, a breath, even every heart beat, would hurt my entire body, I did feel like vomiting at one point but oddly still had an appetite. I took a T3, my fever came down and was able to finally fall asleep. In the morning I took my schedule macrobid and I was fine. The Psoas pain hasnt gone away yet, not even with the help of a t3. Going to continue with the prescription to see if its the medication or my severe bladder infection thats giving me the night chills | F | 20 | 7 days 100mg 2X D | 9/18/2010 | 3 | UTI | Headaches, intense nausea, elevated heart rate, shortness of breath, dizziness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating on driving. | I take Macrobid generic 100mg 2x/day. I was taking Pyridine every 6 hours in conjunction with Macrobid, but had to stop the Pyridine after 2 days because the combination was awful. I continued with just the Macrobid. No matter what I tried (lots of water, eating full meals, etc) I would get these side effects about half an hour to an hour after taking the pill. I would start to feel okay after about 10 hours, but by that time, it was time to take the next pill anyways. I don't think I'll let them prescribe me this again. The nausea, shortness of breath, and rapid heart rate is just too much. | F | 20 | 7 days | 11/16/2009 | 2 | UTI | 3 days after taking Macrobid my joints swelled and became very red and ichy, by that night I broke out in hives on various parts of my body that iched like crazy. The next day my hands swelled to the point where I almost had to cut off my ring. The rash has spred to my face and chest and is giving me extreme pain. I went to the ER the first day of iching and he told me to take benedryl which I have been doing and it takes the edge off. I am on day 2 of the hives and it seems to be getting worse! Iching is very intense and the swelling is extreme as well. | Have taken Macrobid about 4 times before with zero problems, it was great. Now all of a sudden I have developed this reaction that is complete hell! | F | 20 | 7 days 2X D | 7/19/2010 | 2 | UTI | Itching of hands/feet/legs. | I've taken this in the past for a UTI and it worked wonderfully! However, this time around it wasn't pleasant. On the third day of taking this, I woke up in the morning with swelled up hands that itched and hurt REALLY bad when anything touched them. They were also red like a sunburn. My feet and legs didn't swell but they were red and itchy. It made work miserable and I couldn't even hold a bottle of water since it hurt. I stopped taking it right away. The swelling/redness went down quickly after and the itching is almost all gone! I called my doctor and he put me on a different antibiotic and so far so good. | F | 20 | 7 days 100 MG 2X D | 5/24/2011 | 2 | UTI | I've had nothing happen yet. I'm still very uncomfortable in my lower areas. I have had no side effects. | I am very unhappy about this drug. Last time I took a medication for a UTI it worked on the second day. | F | 20 | 2 days | 6/22/2006 | 2 | UTI | nausea, vomiting, aches, headache, insomnia, unable to focus - just generally miserable | This drug make me sicker than I originally was! I feel horrible. I can't focus, can't see straight, have been spending quality time hugging the toilet - this is rediculous! | F | 20 | 3 days | 6/4/2007 | 1 | Bladder infection | Headaches, moderate-severe nausea, severe fatigue, irritability | My side effects seem to get worse as the days go by. My bladder infection is completely gone, but I feel like I've been hit by a truck! | F | 20 | 4 days | 5/15/2007 |
