Cipro and flagyl were the only drugs that helped my steroid refractory UC so I can see them working for cuffitis too.

You need to be taking these meds under the direction and supervision of a doctor, if not identifying a more benign treatment protocol. I ultimately opted for surgery because flagyl was the only thing keeping me out of the hospital but it started to cause optic nerve neuropathy, a complication that can lead to vision loss. Neuropathy in the extremities is also pretty common with long term flagyl use. I was on it for only two months before it caused those nerve issues. It's a useful drug that can definitely be taken safely but a doctor needs to prescribe and monitor it.

Thank you, the doc knows i put myself back on it, I will know more of whats going on this coming Thursday, first scope.
