I thought I'd check in and help get us to 1000!

Okay, I got my copaxone yesterday, and I'm not thrilled! It has more solution by far than Avonex or Rebif, so even if the needle is smaller, you poking in a bunch more stuff! I'll live, I guess.

I'm waiting to start because of this situation. I've had many UTIs over the course of my married life. I found out I was allergic to Sulfas early on in the process. Then macrobid just didn't work because it would come right back after the course of med.

I finally went to a urologist, that gave me a standing prescription of Cipro, knew I knew when I had a UTI, and so on. Of course as long as the prescription was current, never got a UTI! That was 15-20 years ago.

Cipro has always knocked out a UTI, in just a day or two. Well, I started feeling like I was getting a UTI, so I went to the local clinic and got an rx for Cipro. I took it religiously, but still didn't feel like I was getting better. It would be cloudy, and burn, and I was just tired all the time. It was an extremely painful bout, but the cloudy urine and pain in the morning stayed. I finished the 7 day course, and on the 8th day, knew I was still in trouble.

Went back to the clinic, and sure enough still infection in my urine. The doc cultured it this time, and I'm waiting to hear about that tonight. He gave me Levaquin, and told me it seemed my body was just fighting with itself.

Now I'm worried! What if the NABs from the Ty has so messed up my body that antibiotics just don't work? 3 days of Levaquin, a large dose, and I woke up again this morning with a little pain. Not cloudy, but fought with pangs of frequency and the burning. Anyone else have this kind of trouble?
