I'm glad you're going to see the doctor. I was on cipro for a few days, but I can't recall exactly how long. Maybe a week? When I was on the first med it was basically not treating the infection at all. It started with slightly pink urine, and 4 days into it I was only passing blood. I was in excrutiating pain and had to go every 10 minutes! The day I went back to the doc I had to catch a train out to my parents' and then drive 6 hours to my aunt's house for a family party. I had them call the Rx into my mom's pharmacy. I barely lasted through the 1-hr train ride and thought I'd never be able to last the 6-hr drive, but I took the meds as soon as I got off the train, and I felt better about an hour later, no joke. I only needed to stop the car a couple times. Anyway, I hope you feel better. I'm sorry you feel like you are burdening your husband, but I'm sure you'd do at least this much and more for him.
