Comment:
I took one 250 mg pill and 3 hours later I had tremors and my body temperature dropped severely. My teeth chattered and I trembled off and on for 75 minutes then it totally stopped, but it took me about 4 more hours to get my body temperature to feel normal, then I slept for 3 hours. I feel the UTI is better as I have no pressure at the end of the flow and I hope I can sleep tonight.
