@naturegirl5 allergic to Macrobid/Macrodantin and Bactrim. I refuse CIPRO. My doctor did find an alternative but I forget which one. It's so important to have a culture done when we have a UTI.

@ellenh128 I'm allergic to Bactrim (Sulfa) which is why Macrodantin/Macrobid is prescribed. You are so correct about having a culture done. This is how my kidney stone and infection was missed for almost a month. The nurse practitioner insisted that my symptoms were the flu but I had no respiratory symptoms. Finally, when I developed back pain and saw my doctor he recognized the symptoms of kidney disease and ordered a culture.
