Cipro ruins LIVES!!

ONE FUCKING MONTH!!!!
Were they trying to kill you????

This should be a last line of defense antibiotic. Stuff you get in the Hospital, not stuff you take home in a jar to take for a month.

eff you op for posting emotional bs video with almost zero information but a crappy attempt at a tear-jerk soundtrack

eff you, eff you

of course VA wants to kill them

hopefully it doesn't go further than tempting them to abuse medications and painkillers

I think at some level for the groups in control its a game of turning one group against another for their benefit, sitting back and laughing while these various other groups attack each other not realizing they've been manipulated

American public is just another group, as are servicemen ... after they have a laugh at getting you to go off and kill or suppress foreigners, they enjoy mistreating them when they return for "benefits", leave them homeless, mentally ill, etc

That's what they did with me, 4 days on a drip, 1 month oral 1200mg. Infection started in my elbow due to spider bite, got the organs so it was "take this." Did I mention the damned Tinnitus from this shit? My God the noise is unbearable.

What a lot of you don't get is that the natural/herbals do no good with this. Tests don't reveal it, there is no cure for it-although one neurologist at DOD was able to show brain structure changes. You can't sue because there's no path to proof. This is also known as "Gulf war syndrome." Get some vets on this thread

Clindamycin "gave" me c.diff. I sure wish I'd read up on it BEFORE I took it. Stopped taking after the 4th dose, and had c.diff. shortly thereafter. Bad baaaad stuff.

Clindamycin is notorious for causing c.diff., and yet the endodontist didn't think I needed to be made aware of that. Told me to "eat a cup of yogurt every day".

Yogurt my arse. She should have told me instead to take billions and billions of probiotics!

Luckily I knew exactly what I had, and acted. Went to the ER as soon as I started seeing blood and pink tissue, and a big black African doctor with a thick accent saved me. Gave me an IV of Levaquin, and sent me home with Flagyl -both of which carry their own risks, but had no choice since my gut was basically delaminating. I also took lots of probiotics and did the bone broth protocol to heal my gut. Got over it quickly with no relapse, thank the gods.

Just as an FYI, people who do not have c.diff. already in their gut won't get the infection from taking antibiotics. If you've been exposed to c.diff., then you certainly can get a serious infection on taking broad spectrum antibiotics that kill the good gut flora which keep the c.diff. in check under normal circumstances.

I've been given them my entire life with no reaction..till 7 years ago - do not chance it . Just don't.. I was never warned..had no idea.
About 3 months after being prescribed them for a spider bite I realized I was very sick, I could hardly walk, talk, I felt like my entire body was shaking inside, pains all over, I have zero recall of the first few months, I lost almost all reading/comprehension. Went back to doctor who said it was 'panic attacks' . I was crying trying to tell him something was wrong, he would not listen. it was hell - it still is.
My memory of those months is still pretty sketchy, but somehow after leaving the doctors office I went online and found some info on detoxing. I started taking organic cinnamon and Ziolite 3xs a day Within about 2 weeks I was almost ok.
That was 7 years ago - and I'm still just almost ok..I don't know if I can walk from one day to the next, which foot or leg will give out.
Thru the years I've also found if I eat any meat, dairy, eggs from an animal who has been given them- it starts all over again.
Avoid them at all costs - its just a time bomb, there is no going back.

Oregano Oil

True that.

Apple cider vinegar?

My upper bicep detached from my shoulder and I look like popeye in one arm now. Happened while throwing away pallets at work while on this drug for an infection in my sinuses.

I was never told or warned by anyone

My daughter went into the doc this afternoon..

she just called me and he put her on Levaquin..WTF?

Made that child call that office back and tell them she cant take any in that line of antibiotics.

I looked up what would be a good alternative for walking pneumonia ...which are many for low grade infection.

Been sick for over a month and still can go to work and take care of kids...that's not a severe infection.

That bastard Doc should have his ass kicked!

I have been going through hell from last august because of Cipro.

Cipro and levo wrecked me pretty good. I hurt in my bones after three weeks of treatment on it. I have had continual pain in my connective tissue since around that period. No doctors have taken an interest, but I have suspicion the chronic pain is related to cipro. It is why I became a fan of kratom, no intoxication and great pain relief.

it can be caused by any antibiotic that kills off the healthy gut flora.
Clindamycin, Gentamycin, Cipro, etc, take your pick.

Last February after surgery my doctor prescribed Cipro to prevent any infection. After just one dose I had stomach upset and abdominal pain. Stopped taking it didn't get any infection and was healed without the antibiotics.

I want to thank the OP very much. I had taken a 12-month regimen of 4 drugs for Lyme Disease 18 years ago, one of which was Plaquenil, which I recently learned caused some of these symptoms. I thought I just still had chronic Lyme, but perhaps one of the 4 drugs caused me the lasting issues...

Now, I find out that Cipro and fluoro's cause other symptoms that I have. I have taken one of these drugs at least 3X in the past 10 years for various ortho surgery and bronchitis w/pleurisy. The debilitating pain in my muscles and joints as well as multiple shoulder tendon tears and hip joint tears has been near-constant in the past 10 years.

I do feel that both drugs have done me in, and hopefully some help in healing can be found soon. I am reading through this thread and the links provided.

Thank you again. I have a place to start now. :)

Go ahead and take it and lower your resistance and destroy your immune system then. I really don't give a fuck. I'm not taking shit!

I flush my system once a week with that. I fast by only drinking water with apple cider vinegar mixed in it for the whole day.

Yes, the BONE pain! It burns like a hot wire, especially in my upper femurs! I even had a cancer screen done 9 years ago when this weird pain started because I thought I might have bone cancer.

And yep, I started using Kratom about a year ago when I learned of it. My stomach cannot tolerate aleve/ibuprofen, etc and I would not want to take any drug on a regular basis because of liver & kidney issues from the Plaquenil I took for Lyme Disease... Ugh!

I am still not sure which type I like best, but I change them up. I only need about 1 gram (around 2 capsules, depending on which brand/formulation) so it is really inexpensive for me. My local smoke/vape shop had a serious sale a while back because the Feds were going to ban it...so I have tons of different varieties to try out. Thankfully they reversed that Fed threat and it is again being sold openly at a good price.

thats interesting it did same thing to my grandma massive c-diff issue,,she also had severe pain in her legs as well..

i think it did something to her heart 5 weeks after taking it she needed a pacemaker put in...then dies another 6 weeks after that..
she never had any severe issues until the doc put her on cipro..

the pharm industry is the fucking devil..

Just remember, big pharma NEEDS you sick, not well.

That's the real deal and I'm not playing that shit.

From experience, be very careful after taking this horrid stuff. Tendons and connective tissue are weakened. You can tear with the simplest of movements that posed no problems in the past. I searched for answers for years to the problems this drug causes. Yes, perpetuates vitreous detachment in the eyes with possible retinal tears causing blindness if not corrected by surgery. Latest that I heard is damages the aortic valve in the heart. Please advise everyone to not take this drug.

Sweetheart why are you on so much medication? I'm going to say a prayer for you.

YES THIS ^^^^
Especially cuz they would just pass it out like m&ms for UTIs - and of course so many more females than males seem to suffer from Fibro.

When my health was in most serious crisis years back - 2006 - I am almost certain it was the several runs of Cipro that complicated my situation. I could barely walk up a few stairs - I had to sit down and scoot up back wards.

Beautiful post Pool, and I agree.

same for me...

Orthopedic doc wanted me on steroids and come in for physical therapy for my Achilles pain..she agreed it was the Cipro but still wanted me ta take meds that would lower my immunity(for swelling)and then work the area out.

I looked up my own therapy for physical and ordered my own supps for healing...

Unless im half dead I want be taking their shit pills any longer..i want take their statins as well.

All I had was hypertension when they got a hold of me 3 years ago..one doc had me on 5 diff meds that was messing me up bad.

I take 1 BP low dose pill daily but many healthy supps and organic foods as much as I can afford.

Practicing Medicine...not a damn cure in site

legal drug pushers.

I have had very good results with -
Garlic
Manuka Honey
Baking Soda
Bentonite Clay (detox)

I've lost faith in Western Medicine.

And another thing, for those of you who still have faith in modern medicine EDUCATE your doctor. If he/she doesn't know how damaging this class of drugs is the problem will go on. My daughter who is a nurse told me to stop blaming the doctors. I suppose she is right. It isn't their fault if they don't know. If it were possible I would sue the company. I went from being an able bodied, do anything I wanted to do to now not being able to do much at all with my joints swelling and taking 2 to 3 days to recover from just a little activity. Consider this as a warning. You life may be saved but it will never be the same.

Big Pharma 350?
The internet thing is a big old wild wild world - too bad it can't all be controlled (yet)

Horrible - so sorry. :-(
