 I wrote about my low grade recurrent UTI in another post and Thank you mellojello for your replies!

 

I really need some opinions. This started right sfter I had a stoimach virus right after Thanksgiving and has come and gone 3 times since then. I have a bottle of Cipro sitting here and I am not sure whether to take it. This latest round came up on Monday and yesterday it was worse despite aggressive cranberry, d-mannose, echinacae, sodium ascorbate, probiotics, So I called the midwife and she said we should treat at this point. I picked up the script yesterday and told her I would wait until am (today) to see how I feel.

 

I am VERY against antibitics but also do not want to end up with a kidney infection.

 

Today I feel better but not perfect, I can still feel a little pain and increased urgency. But it is much better than yesterday so now I am so unsure. I feel like maybe I have a tiny bit of e-coli bacteria related to when I had the stomach flu (diarreah etc) and the natural stuff just isn't kicking it. But then again- I hate abx for the multitude of reasons- the biggest being yeast.

 

Please give me your opinion about treating with abx. This has been absolutely depressing.
