bladder infection
"I usually get 2 UTI per year.  I started a week ago noticing a smell to my urine and some cramping but no pain while urinating.  A few days after that the familiar sting appeared when I would stop the flow of urine.  I knew right away what was happening so I went straight to get a culture done and they put me on macrobid.  I started it on a Saturday morning and was able to sleep peacefully and uninterrupted by that night.  It is 5 days later and I don't feel 100% but close to it.  I have not had any negative side effects from the drug at all.  The first few days my bowel movements looked a funny color but so far nothing as terrible as others seem to have experienced.  In the past I have also taken Cipro and that seems to work about the same"
