Having taken so many anti-bs in September, now I'm afraid that my body just won't fight on its own anymore.
I don't think that's a possibility here, though I understand your concern. You say you're on day 5 of a 14-day course of antibiotics? Give it a few more days. Sometimes it just takes longer. UTIs can be persistent, nasty buggers.
Do you think the 'don't take this for more than 3 days' is because masking the symptoms is bad, or because these products could cause kidney damage or somesuch?
It's because it can mask the symptoms, and that might cause someone to not go to the doctor/get antibiotics when they really need to. Since you HAVE gotten antibiotics, you should be fine to continue taking it, as long as you don't exceed the recommended dose.
{{bonny}} That just sucks. My only advice is that you may need to call a doctor.
Hippo Birdies, Laga! That sounds like a lovely morning.
I've had better luck finding employees with the right temperament and then teaching them in any areas where their skills may be lacking, than I have had when I've hired people who excellent skill sets but don't mesh well with my expectations for dealing with people.
Couldn't agree with this more. When I worked in Corporate America, we usually looked more for personality and smarts than skills. We could teach them what we needed about our business but personality and an ability/desire to learn we couldn't change.

Thanks for the reassurance. Now, if one of them would just work. The burning, she burns. I took the Cystex at 1. 40 minutes in, I'm really wishing for it to work.
I'm only on day 3 of a 7 day course. Sorry for the confusion. (#5 of a twice daily, which = 14)
I just don't remember it taking this long before.
It's making it difficult to work and I'm feeling all antsy and such.

Oh, then definitely give it a couple more days before worrying that it isn't working. Like I said, sometimes UTIs can be persistent.

I totally understand! The burningness of a UTI is awful.
Hippo Birdies Two Ewes, Laga!
Happy birthday, Laga!

That's quite a celebratory menagerie.
