Hi, im a type 2 menopausal female. I have been given Nitrofurantoin to treat cystitis, but having read the information leaflet im not comfortable taking it. It states it isn’t recommended for diabetics and one of the common side effects is peripheral neuropathy (which I already have in my feet). Having done some research though, I’ve read it can, in some cases, be actually taken to TREAT neuropathy. I’m so confused. So, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with taking nitrofurantoin for uti’s and it’s side effects.
