Diagnosed with UTI-- prescribed Cipro

I had a large amount of WBC in my urine, and was prescribed Cipro for 5 days! i have been posting about what I could or couldn't have based on symptoms from my kidneys and bladder.

Should I stop my herbs and supplements and probiotics for 5 days while on meds?

I've taken breaks here and there, but are there any protocols for lymies to do while on antibiotics for a uti?

I did not get a blood test today (PCP didn't believe it was necessary though I told him I have chronic Lyme and should have another work up since my last one in Feb).

Urinalysis showed everything negative, which I feel is great! Except for the WBC. I will take care of that, but is excessive thirst common with a UTI?

Blood sugar is always normal. Just kinda worried about kidneys. I had a weird urinalysis once that called for further testing (next urinalysis and kidney function test was top notch perfect!).

If kidneys had problems, would it show in urine? Or should I go back to LLMD and have her contact my PCP for a work up. Maybe I should do that anyway?

Also, I know a lot of my symptoms are likely from Lyme and Co, I just don't think it would be wise to blame EVERYTHING on it.

I'm treating Lyme with herbals only and I have not done a kidney function test recently. My Lyme doc said to tell my PCP to order them in Feb, so he did.

Haven't seen llmd recently because her visits are the cheapest in the area and she's the closest, but charges $500 for just the visit! I have saved up to see her again, so I will ask her.

I figured if kidneys were wonky, it would show up in urine Because it did when I was having issues with kidneys. Further tests said kidneys were okay. Guess I should have a blood test too?
