So I’ve been having awful nausea but not a lot of actual vomiting for the last 7 weeks.
My GP told me on Tuesday that I have a UTI and prescribed me nitrofurantoin to take twice a day. Ever since taking it my nausea has absolutely sky rocketed and today an hour after taking it I was throwing up non stop. I tried to eat, I threw it back up. Tried to drink water, it came back up. I couldn’t even bring myself to get up off the bathroom floor as I felt so out of it and basically was carried to the sofa by my poor boyfriend who was understandably worried.
As the day has gone on and it was worn off I have slowly felt better.
I was supposed to take another tablet this evening but I was too terrified in case it happened again as I’ve never felt like that in my life. I was close to going to the walk in as I honestly felt like I was dying.
I’m now wondering if I should just suck it up and take it and hope it kicks in while I’m asleep, or if I could have had a reaction to it and I’m best off leaving it? I’ve read horror stories about UTIs causing miscarriage so I’m really worrying.
I was going to call my midwife in the morning and explain but I dont know if I’ve done the right thing by not taking any more.
I never want to feel that ill ever again.
