...so the doc said I had to go on antibiotics.  (trimethoprim)
It's a 3 day course, and I started Tuesday evening so nearly done. I've felt SO sick/nauseous taking them, but my cystitis is heaps better. 
I've never really had to worry about the IBS .v. antibiotics thing before - I just hope it doesn't aggravate my symptoms again, just when I'm doing ok...
Speaking of which, no poop since Sunday night and MAN is my stomach huge! 
Thanks everyone for the kind words / suggestions - you guys are great! 
The thing that's ended up working best, and here's a top tip, is havng a bath with half a cup of bicarbonate of soda in it - it completely soothes your sore bits, and neutralises the acidic 'down there'. It completely cleans without aggravating your delicate bits, and for the whole time you're in the water you feel nothing - a welcome break!
It lasts until your first pee I guess after you get out, but better than nothing...
