Hello to everyone, i really hope someone replys.

i have been taking Nitro preventative for almost 2 years for recurrent bladder infections.

First i took 50mg every night, now i am taking it every second night. My doctor advised me some months ago to lower it to 3 times per week but i was scared to so, thinking i will get another infection.

Stupid, i know..

For the last one week i have terrible itch all over my body, nothing on the skin, no rash - just itching on my arms, legs, back and stomach. With it i also have chills, being cold all the time. I did not change any shampoos, detergent or anything. It started on its own. I am scared of liver problems. Does anyone know what this can be?

THANK YOU!
