urinary tract infection
"Before the drug, I had several days of progressively worsening symptoms, not knowing what a UTI felt like (mine was not "burning", no blood, but felt like a very painful uterine contraction). The pain was so bad it kept me up all night. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a "very bad" UTI. After 2 days of 2x 500 mg ciprofloxacin, I started to feel better, and after 3 days, I felt nearly fully recovered.



However the potential side effects really worried me and my body started to ache. I was too scared to continue and decided based on the charts of dosages, that I would stop taking the medication after the 4th day.



Although it is VERY effective, I will ask for something different next time that has less side effects."
