Just want to offer some words of encouragement. I finished my last course of Cipro (the second in a month and a half) with no relief. I had also tried a course of Tobramycin in there but only lasted 7 days because I had an allergic reaction. After the Tobramycin my doctor called in a 8 day taper of prednisone. I was still not feeling well on day 8 which was last Friday and on day 9 I woke up and my oxygen levels were better and I was able to start moving around a bit more and have improved since then and was even able to take a half hour walk this week. I am keeping my fingers crossed for continued improvement and hoping that the prednisone will also help you. I am so sorry for your reaction to Cipro and your abdominal pain.
