I'm so sorry you have to go through this SthrnZeta. I make and pass A LOT of kidney stones (Cysteine stones) so also get a lot of UTIs. My best advice, if you can stand it, ask for a mild scrip of Vicodin while giving the Cipro a chance to work. Cranberry supplements are just that--supplements. Best thing to do is to drink as much as you can stomach of cranberry juice (pure is best but hard to drink straight). When I get an upset stomach, I often go for the cranapple juice. It's easier to drink and I've often had to drink up to a bottle a day while getting rid of the UTI. This causes more of a void to push the bacteria out. The over the counter pills like AZO don't often work for everyone (they never do for me)and just turn your urine red orange.
Feel better
