Hi everyone. Has anyone here ever experienced some urinary problems after being floxed. I’m referring specifically to bladder problems. Symptoms like overactive bladder, you know, the urge to go to the bathroom too often and the feeling to not being able to empty your bladder completly. Thanks.

Hi again everyone!
Thank You L, Nicole, Jane!
I did the stool analis and it came ok. no blood or anything else bad.
But is still loose.
I am From Moldova. Near Romania.
As i understand these evil drugs in here are very popular. So baaad.So bad for people and for everybody.
I am still with my problems.
Thank you all for your experience share..i thought that these symptoms are from somethong else because as i understood this toxicity mimics a lot of weird and rare diseases.
I hope i will get better soon and all of you in here!
We must fight and find solutions.
Thank you.

From an article I’ve read on this website :
“NSAIDs – Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (but not acetyl salicylic acid) in combination of very high doses of quinolones have been shown to provoke convulsions in pre-clinical studies.”
So, in your experience, is Aspirin safe to take?
I’m suffering from a noninfectious urethritis, and taking acetaminophen, wich I’ve read here, is safer, would be useless in my case. Any suggestion ?
Thanks.

The horrible event in Las Vegas got me thinking about something. I used to donate blood, but I don’t feel right since the Cipro. I don’t know if I am being overly cautious, or prudent. Has this somehow damaged my blood? Any thoughts?
Dan

Hello everyone.Regarding L’s post from above.I think did not, the blood is not damaged. the damage it did is allready done, i think the blood worked just like transport but a research should be done
Today i ve been in the morning at my neorolyst, i saw him quite often post Leflox, i told him i heave pressure in my head, feeling off balance, preasure in jaw and ears, hard to concentrete, bad sleep so hi gave mi Xanax and another type of these anti depresive drug wich there is NO WAY i am going to take after i read all the side effects..he thinks i have mood problems..When i ask him about antibiotic and my feeling he said ther is no way i can feel like this, he said yes it can be a body disbalance in systems but nothing like i experince…any thoughts? As far for me now i have good days and better days but presure is with me all the time. went to gym the other day nothing really happened after. taking probiotics now.i really dont thinck that any suppliments can do much of a thing, i thing our only option is time, even from the stories posetd here..time is the best healing med…too bad

I was a floxie for 10 weeks. Then I cleaned 3 grams from my body. I had taken 11 grams and realized it was still in me ADSORBED on the surface of my brain cells. I am a floxie no more but I think it will take another 8 weeks to heal the damage.
Floxacins chemically bond to your brain and muscle cells and prevent glucose from entering. As glucose is your primary fuel, you get tired and weak.
To remove this from the cell surface you need a high (maximum your body can stand) concentration of the magnesium ion. Magnesium combines with the floxacin and makes a solid so it is no longer in your blood stream. It leave through the kidneys as a fine white floc.
To get enough magnesium into your blood you must let it enter through your skin. Soak your feet in water and Epsom Salts that have crystals on the bottom.
I have been doing this for two weeks. I am still absorbing 250 grams of magnesium daily. That is 250 times what you can get from supplements through your digestive track.
Put another way it took me 4 days to rid myself of Cipro. Suplliments would have taken 3 years. The excess salt on the bottom of your soak tub is the key.
Good luck to everyone. You can send questions to through this blog or at jat92517@aol.com.
I will respond through the blog so everyone can see.
