UTI reassurance

I’m a long time lurker but this is my first post. I’ve already sought medical attention but I’m just feeling desperate for some support or reassurance.

I had the first signs of a UTI on Saturday evening and was passing a bit of blood, but it felt ok the next day. On Tuesday I woke up and it felt much worse but no blood, so dropped a sample in at the GP and got a 3 day course of Macrobid.

However through the night I have been throwing up every 2 hours or so and have a temperature of 37.9, so not quite a fever. Has anyone else experienced this with a UTI or as a reaction to the Macrobid antibiotics?

I’ve called 111 because I’m on immunosuppressants for autoimmune disease and I’m waiting for a call back from my GP, but in the mean time feeling rubbish 😞

How are you now?

I’m much better now, thanks for asking. I was sent to my GP by 111 who then sent me to A&E and I was treated for a kidney infection with fluids and some drip antibiotics.

Don’t leave UTIs untreated for anyone else reading this, it’s not worth it.
