Cipro ruins LIVES!!

I have prescribed Cipro hundreds and hundreds of times to women with UTI's and not a single adverse reaction was ever had. Every drug has a risk of side effects, I'm sorry to hear about anyone that has a bad reaction to medication but if we eliminate every drug that has had bad reaction we would literally have no medications left in which to prescribed anymore. People are getting a little too hysterical about this stuff.

I call bullshit on this. Cipro induced tendonitis is well documented in medical literature; it is a known side effect along with others such as headache, nausea, vomiting, neurological signs and god help us, yeast infections.

Not only do I suffer from this, I have treated patients of my own who have had Cipro induced tendonitis. So, nope. You are full of shit, sport.

well i am just glad i know now

its something else for me to watch for


so thnx all

Has anyone heard of Cipro's nastier cousin?

Larium aka mefloquine. i will post links if anyone would like. this shit has fucked up 2 generations of vets. this is why we have over 22 vets offing themselves a day

I suffered a devastating reaction to Levaquin 4-years ago. It left me crippled for 2 years, so badly that I feared I'd never be able to walk again.

It gradually got better. I needed 20 physical therapy sessions to learn how to stand and then walk again. The 3rd year I could get around using a cane. Now I'm able to walk just like I used to, long distances without pain. Stairs are still a bit challenging though.

It's been a long, hard road, but it has improved greatly. There are still some issues, but I'm able to live my life again.

The majority of people eventually recover. The best cure is time.

I still have to be careful what I eat. I have to avoid conventionally produced meat, eggs, dairy, and farmed fish because it has trace residues of antibiotics in it. Soy also causes flare ups and needs to be avoided.

I took Larium about 20-years ago when I worked in Africa.

That stuff makes you crazy. It took me several months to feel like myself again after taking it for 4 weeks.

It's no wonder that vets who take it for a year or more would end up completely messed up.

I think in the long run it would be safer to just slather on DEET. As bad as that stuff is, it's easier to detox from it.

Me neither and they NEVER talk about the fact that your body knows how to heal itself if you get out of the way and let it take care of itself.

Instead they give you drugs and treatments that fuck up your system so it can't function to correct itself.

I don't want any part of it.

That's how it starts. Once you let yourself get the "diagnosis" and they start pushing prescriptions at you, it's all downhill from there. I watched it happen with family members and I'm never going down that road. I've had things wrong with me that most normal people would run screaming to the doctor for, but I read up and did what I could on my own. Then just waited and let things right themselves. Good rest is probably the number one secret of good health. Your body heals while you're sleeping.

That's a terrible attitude, "it's not the doctor's fault if they don't know", how can you even say that? All you have to do is look up the side effects, I've known Cipro caused tendons to dissolve for years, I never took the stuff, but you don't forget something that shocking.

How is it possible the doctors don't know? OF COURSE THEY KNOW. The FDA knows too, all the way, they know it up and down, back to front, side to side.

So what does that tell you. You tell me.

I didn't watch it either, no one in this thread is talking about the video.

Saw a tv program several years ago about a woman whose skin almost completely shed from her body after taking an antibiotic - Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Went to the doctor a couple of weeks later for UTI and he prescribed Cipro. Of course, I had to look it up after reading skin rash as a side effect and found that although rare, Cipro can cause this syndrome. Thanks but no.

Did the makers of this drug pay you for all your rehab?

No, it's extremely difficult to get them to do that, and the system protects them.

*[[Rev 18:23]] KJV* And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

Sorceries:

Transliteration: pharmakeia

Phonetic: far-mak-i'-ah

Strong's Definition: From G5332; medication (" pharmacy" ), that is, (by extension) magic (literal or figurative): - sorcery, witchcraft.

......,yet

That's what it sounds like.. When all else fails, then...

I ended up taking it for 6 months. Was issued not prescribed. We did not get the list of symptoms of toxicity and we also drank for new years and the super bowl. not a thing you should do if you are taking it, let alone showing toxicity. My body and mind are shot. I feel like a soul trapped in a broken vessel. I always see things about cipro; I wish those effects were all that I deal with.

DEET was issued; i really dont remember bugs anyway. should have been all that we needed. it was afganistan not liberia. Did you get the crazy larium dreams? i and others have those permanently now.

I think the complex human body is adapted to natural chemicals, not to the new manmade compounds that are manufactured for profit, and that have countless side effects... many devastating. The body has the capacity to recover if given the food and exercise required to rebuild... and avoiding those that hinder it.

I want to pass on the info... so people can make informed choice..

I'm so sorry that you're dealing with such awful side effects. I hope and pray that it gets better for you with time. Usually, damage from quinolones can heal, but it takes a long time.

In my case, I took it in 1994 when I was in Tanzania, working in a refugee camp during the Rwanda massacre.

I don't recall having Larium dreams, but I slept a lot and was waking up in a pool of sweat for months even after I got home. I felt very tired and just did not feel like myself at all, both physically and mentally. I got tested. I thought maybe I was sick, but my test results all came back normal.

My personality changed when I was on the Larium. My entire outlook changed. I was no longer my cheerful, outgoing self. I was withdrawn and even a bit paranoid, defensive due to groundless feelings of persecution. It was like I had become another person for several months. This started before I even went to Africa. The doctor had me take the first dose before I left. I began feeling really off during a layover at Heathrow airport on the way there.

I did not have PTSD. It was the Larium. I have to wonder how many vets diagnosed with PTSD are actually suffering from Lariam toxicity.

I read up on that Stevens-Johnson syndrome because it happened to a guy I know and he almost died.

Apparently it can happen from ANY drug.

The way your skin separates from your body sounds like what smallpox does.

It happens to internal membranes and tissues too I think.

Horrific. But, it's just a "side effect".

Many drugs, including ibuprofen, can result in Steven Johnson Syndrome.

All "drugs" are mycotoxins and ruin lives. Follow the law suits and see.

YOU SAID IT!!!

I mentioned the suicidal ideation Cipro can provoke. They say it is only for pre-existing suicidal states, but that is untrue.

^THIS^

If the tendons are infected it will get you as it will kill the bacteria & tendons along it ...

Vancomicin does the same and medics saturated me with it after i breathed in weaponized MERSA ...

yes you have to be really careful what you do after the treatment.. little by little reinforcing your tendon ligaments ,,,

I recommend prolotherapy. I used to have tendinitis in my elbows and shoulders. Prolotherapy cured it. A surgeon wanted to operate!! It also fixed my dad's foot issue. His regular doc just gave him a custom made leather boot (that medicare paid for) and told him he'd have to use that to walk the rest of his life! That was at least ten years ago an his foot is still fine after the prolotherapy. And no, insurance does not pay for prolotherapy. I don't know why, because it really works.

Thanks for all the great advice on here for me and people like me :)

to help heal your tendons, you can take things like MSM (sulfur) or DMSO, plus diatomaceous earth (silica and minerals) among other things...
