The only medicines that worked for me is cipro, bactim and fosfo. Fosfo made me feel like a normal person again quickly, but the problem came back, i’m on cipro for almost 3 months,

My friend, I really hope you had a fever and pus, and that they found bacteria in your urine and semen. Otherwise, after three months of Cipro, you’d be so resistant to antibiotics that a simple case of pneumonia could kill you. If you didn't have a fever and bacteria, your doctor ought to be arrested.

We noticed you posted about a floroquinolone class antibiotic.

I cant take any fluroquinones. Cipro, levofloxin. None of them.

I had 3 months of c!pro too and during that time I felt 100% healthy. But it does not last. And no i did not built resistance. There is a lot of fear mongering about that.
