I have a UTI that's been going on for a couple of weeks now, went away for a week and now it's back again. Bactrim didn't work this time so prescribed cipro. I've been reading the side effects online and stories of people taking this and I'm truly scared to take it. I know I need this UTI gone, but I don't want to end up with nerve damage at 20. I never had UTIs not even once in my life until after I had my daughter (3 months ago) since then I have had 3. I drink vitamin c, take a probiotic, cranberry pills and drink nothing but water but I guess that's not cutting it. I'm scared to death to take this medicine. I'm just praying it will heal this infection and God will take care of me. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has taken it and what were your side effects?!
