Debbie: The Cipro probably would work very well. Make sure if you do go to the doctor to get antibiotics he does a culture and sensitivity, so that if the organism is immune to the Cipro, he will find out in four days which antibiotic would work. Here is a possible plan for your situation: Have a culture and sensitivity done by a doctor, immediately. Get a prescription for Cipro, but do not start taking it until the sensitivity test shows that it will be effective. Meanwhile, start taking d-mannose (a simple sugar that even diabetics can safely take). You can get d-mannose in many health food/nutrition stores. It is effective against the most prevalent organism causing cystitis--E-coli. In about 85% of cystitis cases this is the organism causing cystitis. At any rate, it won't hurt you to try it. It works by preventing the E-coli from sticking to the mucous membranes of the bladder, and so they are simply washed out. The dose to take is 1 tsp. every two to three hours in a glass of water while awake. If it will work, the symptoms will be much better in 24 hours. If the d-mannose works, continue taking it for a total of two weeks, regardless of the lack of symptoms. If the mannose doesn't work, and the CS doesn't work, by then you will know which anitbiotic should be effective. D-mannose can be purchased from the Tahoma Clinic Dispensary--1-888-893-6878, www.tahoma-clinic.com. It is cheaper by far than from the health food store. This place also sells a very useful booklet called D-Mannose & Bladder Infection, by Jonathan Wright, M.D. Best wishes for a quick recovery, Jill Mike D.: Sorry, I don't know how to excerpt the essentials from the text as I am supposed to.
