The problem with Cipro and Levaquin are not a super bug, but blowing up your heart. etc.
Reading the numbers is scary. Joints, muscles, etc.
Sounds like you can use it fine many times, then bam it happens.

I take cipro 1-2 times a year as a defense to a uti that presents as at least 
some blood in the urine. Once every few years the first round of cipro isn't 
enough and it gets stepped up to something stronger. These doctors have been 
giving people antibiotics every time they have a discomfort, even if its viral 
which anyone with any sense knows a virus has to run its course. The worry is a 
super bug will come from to many antibiotics on the average whiner. I 
personally don't believe anyone is going to have a problem taking antibiotics 
in moderation. Sometimes doctors wont give them even when it makes sense to. In 
those cases just go to the ER or the walk in places if its during the week. In 
my opinion a quad that cant weigh a doctors advise probally wont live long.

Me too, I took it anyway.
I'm alergic to Macrobid, so not many option that work for me.
