    I have a UTI, and I just want to say, your voice is wonderful. I have almost no idea what you are saying, but your voice is beautiful.

    I’m taking bactrim ,this is my fifth day on it . And let me tell you this is the worst week I’ve had in a long time. So the first day was good the only thing I had really was itchy skin ,second day I realized my stomach feels weird started feeling nausea . Third day I couldn’t eat/drink anything not even tea no appetite whatsoever. In the night when I took a shower, I was trembling so much. The water wasn’t even cold. Then later that night I couldn’t even sleep. The headaches are crazy . and my head is tingling omg and it’s not even a consistent headache.Its on and off.

      What dose and how many a day?
      Doesn’t sound like it’s a good match for you, definitely too strong for you.
      Did you stop taking it or call your doctor?

    After taking Bactrim, on the last day of the course I was prescribed, my inner cheek on the right side broke out in very painful lesions. My cheek on the outside looked swollen and I bled whenever I would brush my teeth. It hurt to eat, smile, or rest that side of my head on anything. Sometimes it would hurt for no good reason. Now it seems to be healing, but it still has a while to go. It's not nearly as painful, but I still hate looking at it in the mirror because it reminds me of a horror movie. I'm never taking Bactrim or any sulfa-based medications ever again. They've been mostly banned in the UK, I've heard. In USA, there have been lawsuits yet apparently they weren't very successful otherwise I wouldn't have been prescribed Bactrim. I mean, surely there have to be better antibiotics than Bactrim for the treatment of UTIs.... It's such an allergy-prone medicine. It's terrifying when the very treatment itself is dangerous. Sometimes treatments can be worse than the original disease or ailment.

      Bumpy Toad we never give it here in the Philippines because it tends to have a lot of worst side effects esp. SJS.

    I know for a fact that septra is good for a UTI and so I'm wondering if it's any good for kidney irritation? I mean my experience with septra has been positive. Is it good for kidneys too?

    There are too many popup ads in this video that keep distracting me from learning. :(
    1 ad is ok, but 4 + is too much for 1 video.
    Thanks for considering toning down the distracting ads.

    Well, I have been on this medication for about three days now and yesterday, when I got out of bed to go to the bathroom, I was shaky, and could barely walk. This is never happened to me so I assumed it’s the medication. I still have a few days left and the day I walk fine… Will, I have to feel that way again?

  • @mayoandkiwi
