Uti infection symptoms and conditions

You guys are all bums it worked perfect on me.. I had the UTI infection in my blood.. now it's gone!!

I was prescribed Cipro for a UTI infection 2x3days the first day I felt really bad! I was tired and had stomach pain along with nausea. The second day I also had stomach pain with headache and tiredness, my mind was foggy as well as my vision was blurred. I took it even though our clinic is against all medication for this exact reason bad reactions and death. I did some research this morning and have STOPPED the Cipro. I will start a 21 day detox to get this out of my system. I will help fight to get this product off the market! My niece is turning 10 years old and she has also been prescribed this medicine she has had many medical problems. It feels great knowing I may finally be able to help her. I know god has forced the infection upon me to help others. Please!! do the research before you take any medicine only you can make the decision. WE ONLY HAVE ONE BODY TAKE CARE OF IT!!! NO ONE ELSE CAN DO IT FOR US!!!

Hi, Im an 18yr old female. I recently went to my gyno because im starting college in a month and a half and I thought getting on bc would be a good idea. I went in on the 24th of June, and she told me to try nuvaring. She told me to start that day when I got home. she told me to leave it in until the 1st of July then take it out and wait to the 5th to put a new one in, and progress in that cycle.
Well, less than two weeks into having the nuvaring, I got a really bad uti infection , I have had a history of utis..so i try to do the most I can to prevent them, but this was different. I felt like my bladder was going to explode!. It was so painful and it felt like it was contracting, I was spotting blood and I felt like I was going to pee my pants all the time.. . and horrible burning sensations. I put the ring back in on the 5th, and that day I spotted blood a little heavier and clumpy but not a period. I took it out on the 9th because I did not feel like the infection was getting any better...the ring has been out for 3 days now and I feel so much better bladder infection wise, but I have been having horrible headaches, and nausea. Any ideas?
The only problem is that I have no idea what is gonna go on with my period.
Before the ring, I would usually start anywhere between the 10-14..and I have not had unprotected sex.
Anyone have any ideas on the whereabouts of my period?.

Hi,

I have had my Mirena since March 2007 and until Nov 2008 have not had any real complications. I do still have a period, it's lighter but lasts just as long. In Nov 2008, I started having problems with dizziness, stomach pain, nausea and at the time I was diagnosed with an inner ear infection, I also had a CT scan done which was normal. But after taking the antibiotics as prescribed the symptoms persisted for 3 weeks then went away. It all started again in Feb 2009, waking with severe nausea every morning, loss of appetite, tired and stomach pain. I went to the ER and had bloodwork which was normal, and a urinalysis, which showed a UTI infection. I was given antibiotics for this, but yet the symptoms persisted for 3 weeks. Both of these episodes followed my menstrual cycle. After the last bout, in which I feel completely normal, it started again. My period was two weeks late this month (March 09) it started on March 18th and on March 19th I started experiencing all these symptoms all over again. I have, bloodwork, preg tests, a colonoscopy, a stool sample, and a pelvic ultrasound, all of which have been normal. I am scheduled in a week to have an ultrasound of my gallbladder, but I really don't think that's my issue. I have lost weight, have no appetite, and wake every morning at the same time with nausea. I am seeing my family Doctor again tomorrow, he has discussed sending me to an ENT, but he is also removing the IUD tomorrow. He is doubtful that it is causing these problems after two years, but said strange things happen so better remove it to be safe.

My daughter is 3 and has had recurring UTI infections for over a year now. She currently has a UTI infection that is resisting the antibiotics. She has had this infection since December. The doctor prescribed Furadantin. This is the fourth antibiotic she has been on to try to stop this UTI infection. Anyways, the Furdantin is making her sick. She doesn't want to eat, her stomach hurts, she is extremely tired, and she is vomiting. I always make sure that she eats before I give it to her, but sure enough about 10 minutes later she is vomiting all over the place. I hope there is another medicine that can help my baby, without making her so sick. I feel awful.

I took Levaquin 3 times for 10 days each time over 2 or 3 years. I am not exactly sure as I'd have to backtrack my records. It was for a stubborn sinus infection. (BTW, it didn't help) Is it possible that now, 2 years after taking it, that my tendons are 'tight' and sore from the drug? I have been complaining that they feel like tight springs for months, totally inflexible. I didn't know about this, so I decided to really stretch them. I did 4 squats and the next day, my R knee was blown up. I got an MRI which showed a torn meniscus from doing the squats. Since then, I've discovered what Levaquin does. Could it be that my tendons were so tight, that they didn't give, but the pressure from them being so tight could have put so much pressure on the meniscus, that it tore?

My Dr. put me on Bactrim for a UTI infection. The first couple of days it seemed to work really well taking care of my UTI, and I did was i was told take all the meds which was 2 pills for 5 days. Well, I was suppose to start my cycle about the same time I started taking the Bactrim, 11 days later Iam still waiting to start . I feel awful. My stomach is swollen,my back, ribs, upper and lower abdomin. I have weak feeling muscles and chills at times. I called my Doctor and all he said was yeah, that can be a side effect sometimes. Well , i sure wish he would have informed me, I would have never taken it. I sure never will again. All he said was he was sorry for my discomfort didnt ask me to come in for a exam or anything. I guess i just have to let it get out of my system. I dont have heath insurance and it was expensive enough going in for the initial problem.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THE PROBLEMS YOUR HAVING ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF TAKING LEVAQUIN.IS THERE A BLOOD TEST THAT CAN REVEAL THE LEVAQUIN IN YOUR SYSTEM EVEN AFTER IT HAS BEEN WEEKS AND MAYBE EVEN MONTHS AFTER FINISHING THE DRUG.MY DR. PRESCRIBED IT FOR A UTI INFECTION AND JUST GAVE ME FREE SAMPLES OF IT FROM HIS OFFICE WITH NO SYMTOMS OR SIDE EFFECTS PAPER WITH IT .I FEEL LIKE MY CHEST IS GOING TOO EXPLODE AND I CANT SLEEP .I ALSO HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND TAKE LOTREL 5/10 .CAN THIS BE HARMFUL FOR ME

I am currently on Levaquin because Bactrim did not completely relieve me of a UTI infection. I avoid taking pharmaceuticals at all because I suffered chemical poisoning from living near the World Trade Center and, as far as I'm concerned, ALL pharmaceuticals are poison...but necessary in some cases when diet and exercise are not enough to stay healthy. I have some minor side effects and the infection seems to be clearing. Before I started taking it I looked at this website. I just have to say that I can't believe the number of people who are depending on their doctors and pharmacists or leaflets to give them information. It is YOUR health and YOUR responsibility. Personally, I would never put something into my body without finding out myself and researching it. If someone chooses to not take responsibility for their own body and health, then don't blame your doctor for that. It is your choice to put your health in someone else's hands...and the fault is your own. Don't put your health in the hands of someone other than yourself without doing the research.

it has been a month since i stopped taking levaquin (10 days 500 mg for a UTI infection). The excruciating pain in my upper arms shows no signs of abating. This drug has significantly affected the quality of my life.

I'm on the third pill and am already experiencing EXTREME joint pain (knees and elbows mostly), as well as nightmares and a cold fever while sleeping. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to request a different medication. I was giving this medication for a UTI infection.

I was prescribed sulfameth/trimethoprim 800/160 TABS for a kidney infection, on wednesday, i took it approximately 8 pm that same night, next day about 9 am i was breaking up i had a rash all over the inner part of my arms, on my thigh down to my feet. next thing i know i am itching all over. went to bed that night i had chills all night long. I had never had an allergic reaction to any medication until now.

I just read these articles about taking Levaquin. I too just took this month ago for an UTI infection. The 3rd day I started to feel awful, I started out feeling lightheaded, dizzy, chills, nauseated, then the 4th day started with feeling really tired, and like I was going faint, the depression set in. By the 5th day, I have started with this awful burning aching sensation in BOTH of my arms. Needless to say, stopped taking this awful medicine after the 6 th day, was suppose to take it for a total of 10 days. I have been back and forth to the doctors getting shots, medicine and nothing seems to help. I know I got this from taking Levaquin and I too have had these awful side affects. NOW I may have to go to a specialist about my arms. Some of the side affects have gone away, except for my arms. bouts with chills, and being nauseated. Its been 3 weeks and still no improvement. I just wondered how if any of the posts have improved. You read all these about the side affects BUT no after affects of improvemen, and is there any hope at all to feeling better . I hope others will respond back to these who have gone through the same side affects. BARB

i was taken to emergency room and major probelem was a sever uti infection, was given 10 day dose of levaquin of 500mg. First day i took in am with full cup of water during day had upset stomach and then by nite started to feel maybe a yeast infection. 4 day have a sever rash on my private parts my urine is green with at times i see blood.
I also am in treatment for anemia called scullies anemia , also a sever yeast infection why would i be given an antobodic which has only made my private parts filled with rash to the point where i shpwer daily and can barely walk with its progress am wondering if they saw yeats infection why give again something to make worst. The worst part for me on a fixed income is the 110.00 price for 10 tablets and now i see with others comments i may also not be able to finsh taking.

I have been on Levaquin for a UTI (infection of prostate) for over 2 months, and until I found this website I thought I had early stage cancer. I am a very active person, who now has tendonitis so bad in my shoulders, elbows and hips that I can barely move. I also have flu like symptoms and have problems sleeping. I have just called my urologist and now have an appointment.

Hopefully I can get off this drug and return to a normal life. Thank you all for your comments.

On April 15 I was prescribed Levaquin for a UTI infection following the insertion of a stent to treat a kidney stone. For the previous six months, I'd been doing daily a workout for my knees, which I'd discontinued for ten days because the stent had become so uncomfortable. On April 17, two days after I started taking the Levaquin, I resumed my workout, only at a diminished level of intensity to take into accout the ten-day hiatus from exercising. The following day my knees hurt so badly I could barely walk. I began experiencing intense depression, anxiety, and sleeplessness (I've always been a world-class sleeper, so this genuinely freaked me out), and incredible fatigue. I took the Levaquin, I believe, for a week or so. Since that time, I've experienced joint pains in my shoulders, ankles, and hands, as well as pain in the sternum and in my neck and lower back. I've had similar pains in the past so I don't know if these can be attributed to the Levaquin, but I hadn't had them in many months. Three weeks after discontinuing the Levaquin I'm feeling somewhat better -- I've been able to sleep relatively well, feel less depressed, and much less fatigued (though it comes over me once in a while).
