I dunno why everyone's so keen to jump onto antibiotics all the time, I think they're what gave me this in the first place. SO, without them – how long will my cystitis last? I've cut out sugary drinks, caffiene, alcohol etc. & I'm drinking loads.

First off, why do u think that antibiotics gave u your cystitis…what's your evidence? Do u get cystitis every time you take antibiotics? How do you even know you have cystitis?

Also, there are many types of cystitis so it is difficult to answer your question. The most common type is one that is caused by a bacterial infection…and can USUALLY only be cured with antibiotics. If you do have an infection in your bladder, if not treated, it can lead to pyelonephritis (a kidney infection), which will make you very ill, and could eventually lead to urosepsis which can easily kill you. In light of all that, I would be "keen" on taking antibiotics.
