I Hurt

Unfortunately, I know a lot about UTIs. I am in that small percentage of women who gets the reoccuring kind. Fun, fun, fun. PM me any questions you may have. I'm pretty much an expert.

Keep drinking the cranberry juice and taking the antibiotics. It can take a few days of antibiotics before they knock out the more aggressive infections from your system. I'm surprised that the pain pills (I'm assuming Uristat) aren't helping. I'm guessing you must have a really, really aggressive one - especially because the doc put you on Cipro. Make sure you're eating when you take your antibiotics! Antibiotics will ravage your stomach if you have no food in your system. I have made myself so incredibly sick a few times because I took antibiotics on an empty stomach.

I have a lifetime prescription for antibiotics because I get them so frequently. I forgot to bring my antibiotics with me on my honeymoon. Big mistake. I got a UTI while I was in a foreign country. Luckily you don't need a prescription in Costa Rica but I had to try to explain to the pharmacists there in my limited knowledge of Spanish that I needed antibiotics for a UTI and it couldn't be Penicillin-based since I'm allergic.
