Hey Bill Mc,
I forgot to say welcome back (even though this isnt a place you want to be). You used to be so active on this forum, and then you stopped, I almost missed ya lol.

Anyway, have you ever concidered having a Semen and Urine Culture done to see what exact bacterias are causing you pain? This way your Doc wont blindly throw Cipro at you and wish you luck. He can prescribe an antibiotic directed more towards the bacteria. You should search around and try to get this done.

I was on Cipro for about 6 weeks, and I survived so dont worry to much about it.

Good Luck buddy.
