How many people take collagen supplements as part of their healing regime? How important is it?

Hi M,
It probably is your mattress. Here in the U.S. we had people getting mysteriously deathly sick and come to find out it was their drywall that was made in China and they had some unusual amount of formaldehyde in their products. So I would definitely suspect your matress.

L,
After reading your link you posted on Restore I ordered a bottle and I’m already feeling benefits from it , and I’m only on day 4. The most notable benefit is my shoulder pain is almost completely gone.
Just wanted to say thanks for the link, and hopefully it will continue to help.
What’s funny is I had ordered Restore about 6 months ago but didn’t use it. I remember thinking “I can’t believe I spent so much money on Dirt water” so disgusted I returned it. Anyhow, I glad you posted that link.

Also, it’s helping my tendons especially the ones in my ankles and legs.

If you have tried Dr. Ghalili’s treatments, please let us know how it helped you. I am considering going to him for the Stem Cell Treatment. Thanks.
My symptoms i.e. pain in legs, back and shoulders had stabilised quite well and I wasn’t feeling much discomfort and pain. But my herbalist has put me on a detoxing regime and I notice signs of detoxing eg flu-like symptoms, furred tongue, bad breath etc. Could these returned pains be part of the detox or just an example of the changeability of toxicity symptoms?

Hi everyone, I’m a bit concerned about tendon rupture. I’m trying to run lately. I’m doing 15-20 minutes of light jogging, almost everyday, and while I notice I feel way better after this activity, the pain in my ankles, expecially in the tendonds are more pronounced. Every scan or ecography I’ve done showes nothing wrong, but is it possible that the rupture appears even after years from the FQ exposure? Also, does running put me in more vulnerable situation, as far as tendonds rupture/damage? I’ve read of people who woke up from bad and their tendonds snapped, so what’s the deal here? I know FQs symptoms are nasty and tricky, but I want your opinion. Am I pushing too hard?

Hi, my name is Lea and I think that I just got floxed. After an UTI diagnose, it was prescribed 500mg of cipro during 7 days, 2 times a day. After the second day, my body started to shake, my head started to vibrate. I immediatly googled about the adverse effects of this drug on the internet and stayed in panic. I had no idea of how bad this stupid drug is. Then I went to the ER because I decided to suspend an antibiotic treatment and I know this is dangerous. The doctors of course never heard about the horrible side effects of cipro. So, after taking 7 pills, the last one was tuesday 12/04 night, I’m feeling weak, my body vibrates, I feel like crying all the time, can’t focus, feeling like having a panic attack. I haven’t had muscle pains, and I hope it doesn’t happen to me. So, in your experience, do you think that what I’ve been feeling might have been caused by the drug?

Anyone developed Diverticulitis? I’m having some serious lower abdominal pain of late and it’s driving me nuts. Might have to go on a liquid diet soon to get things under control.
Cipropoisoned

Close to 7 years and I am experiencing new symptoms :-(. As of a few days ago, after about a week of muscle twitches in my chest and legs, I am beginning to notice pins and needles in my legs, face and hands :-(. This is the first time I am experiencing this. I had burning pains around my ankles in the first two years, but this is new after almost 7 years since I took the last cipro pill. Any recommendation(s) is appreciated. Just a bit of background, my current cycle began with night sweats, headache, finger pains, ankle and heel pain, and loose stools.

I might add that I mainly feel the pins and needles when I am supine in bed or resting on the couch.

Cipropoisoined, I could be mistaken but were you the one that said you had been anxious and stressed recently and took antidepressants?? Someone who had a relapse mentioned it?? If it was you I was thinking the medication or the fluoride in a lot of antidepressants could cause a relapse?? I apologize if it wasn’t you who mentioned it as I think there were two of you recently on floxie home talking about having a relapse. I sure hope it is short lived for you!!!

Hey Henk, can you explain to me what’s a blood purifier? also, what’s the sota silver pulser?
I already read a lot about the magnetic pulser, but the silver pulser I can’t really understand the thepry behind it.
Thank you.

Hi everyone,
I haven’t commented on her in quite sometime although I do come here and read the recovery stories. Unfortunately, I was floxed in 2013, after receiving Cipro for a UTI. It took 2 pills for me to feel horrible. I discontinued taking them. During the 1st month everything was out of wack. I experienced a lot of pain and clueless doctors. I was thankful for finding this site. I’ve had doctors to want to say RA and then some to say it’s not and don’t know. I guess my question is has anyone been told that they have RA as a result of taking these medications?? I’ve never had problems with any type of arthritis. I’ve read that others have stated that this medication can mimic these types of diseases.

L, Andrea, and Anna, thanks so much for your responses. It really helps a lot. Andres I just purchased some Tumeric that I’m going to start using, as I’ve heard that it’s very useful. I’m thankful to God that I’m still able to work and function because I know that so many are not able to. Again thank you all very much.

Hi, has anyone tried Hyaluronic Acid?
I’ve read that it could be helpful for treating rheumatic pain. I still has some collagen powder and some MSM, and now I want to start using them again with some HA. Any experience with it?

Just an interesting article on iatrogenic illness … http://medind.nic.in/maa/t05/i1/maat05i1p2.pdf
A very interesting comment near the end of the article. The harm that a physician can do is not limited to the
imprudent use of medicine or procedure, but may include
unjustified remarks and misinterpretation of
investigational data. The physician should be aware of
the properties of drugs that he prescribes and their
potential dangers. Ignorance of the possibility of a
reaction is a clear evidence of negligence. The physician
should warn the patient of the likely side effects

Does any of this sound familiar to floxies?
