| 1 | UTI | No appetite; had to force myself to eat a couple bites a day, bad muscle aches esp. in hips and knees, extreme fatigue, and a rash that eventually covered most of my body, swollen fingers. Worse, I have permanent nerve damage in most of my fingers. Two of which are totally unusable because of extreme numbness and extreme pain; the left pointer and middle fingers. My right middle finger is real numb and painful, too. My two left "peace" fingers hurt even if one of my cat's tails rub against them, or their bodies of course! This hurts enough to wake me out of a deep sleep even. Ditto, for pulling a blouse over my hand. I have to make a fist to protect my hand as much as possible. This sends me to the roof. I cannot clip or file my nails without extreme pain. I can no longer touch type for pain and numbness reasons. My life is almost reduced to a hellish existence worrying if someone will run into my fingers, grab my hands, or even brush against my fingers. | NEVER, I MEAN NEVER TAKE MACROBID FOR ANY REASON. I wish I would of checked the side effects online before swallowing one of those POISONOUS pills. Please e-mail me if you know a lawyer that will take my case. I have not found one, yet. I visited the hospital 3 and a half days after stopping. They tested for blood clots in my left arm and hand, and tested for pinched nerves. Double negative, it is that Macrobid's fault. My liver readings were so bad they wanted to keep me overnight until after HOURS I washed out enough. They asked me if I drank, but I drank nothing that month and little the month earlier. I was at the hosp. on July 14, 2014. | F | 53 | 4 days 100 2X D | 10/1/2014 | |
