Hi L – I believe I have read from one of your earlier post that you are suffering from sinus issues (post floxed). Curious if anything has helped? Eleven months out and I continue to experience allot of pressure and discomfort throughout my sinus’s including constant headaches and dizziness. I have been able to tolerate Claritin, however it has not provided me with any relief.
Hello all….im 4 years out, recovered well after many adverse reactions including peripheral neurapothy . However, yesterday I took less than 10 mg of vyvanse, an amphetamine. Later in the day I began to feel the return of pins, needles, burning in my hands , feet, legs and arms ,as well as leg pain. Today it still continued, not getting better whatsoever.
Has anyone else experienced this ???? Is it possible to get “refloxed” from an amphetamine????

How do you discern if you’re taking too much magnesium? I’m taking 750 mg of glycinate and L-threonate daily together with possibly 800 mg from magnesium oil. I’ve been relatively pain-free fine for a while until now when I’m having problems/pain from my achilles tendon. But I go into hospital next week to have my cancerous prostate removed and I know that stress/anxiety eats up magnesium. So do I need more right now or am I possible taking too much?

I didn’t do the root canal yet and had to stop the amoxicillin on Tuesday because of my reaction after 3 days (peripheral neuropathy worsening, anxiety worsening, burning and tingling everywhere, burning spine…). The pain has been increasing since, but one dentist said, if it was an infection, I should have felt the pain go since I was on the amoxicillin for 3 days. The pain wasn’t gone but it was significantly diminished. I started the antibiotics saturday and stopped them on tuesday. As of yesterday (wednesday), the pain is increasing all day…I’m in so much pain right now!
Also no one seems to think I need a root canal (x-rays look clean, no tooth sensitivity, I can even bite down on the tooth, tap on it no problem, etc), and no one can tell if it is an infection. This makes everything VERY confusing.
Clean x-rays, 3 dentists, no sensitivity to hot and cold, no big pain upon tapping the teeth, etc. But why SO MUCH PAIN since stopping antibiotics :(. That part frightens me to no end. After 3 days on antibiotics my reaction was so severe and now I’m refloxed…I can’t imagine what it would have been like after 7 days. I never had problems on amoxicillin, even since being floxed. So suddenly everything changed for me??? I’m very upset that I now cannot tolerate any antibiotics. I wish someone could help me, explain…I want to understand. Does anything i’m writing resonate with anyone? Has anyone had a re-floxing to antibiotics, but then after some time, they were able to re-tolerate them again? I need to know that there is future hope for antibiotic usage. This cannot be my life now forever? What if I heal from the quinolones…..then can I try amoxicillin again? has anyone done that?
Do I even have an infection? I wish someone could tell me that.
Melissa, I hope your flox symptoms are lessening since being off the antibiotics for a couple of days??? I hope!!! Have you considered colledial silver as an antibiotic? Maybe a drop or two on the tooth area?? Henk knows much more about using colloidal silver!! I hope at least your floxing symptoms are improving!!! ????????
Melissa, maybe a piece of food got stuck between gum and tooth?? I hope your flox symptoms will disappear soon!! Did you have a lot of pherphial neuropathy when you were initially floxed?? Hopefully it will leave soon! Keep rinising your mouth with salt water! Manuka honey is a natural antibiotic too!
Bob, I’m really sorry your relapse symptoms haven’t improved. That really boggles my mind and scares me at the same time. Was your relapse as bad as your initial floxing? I thought you said your relapse gave you increased pherphial neuropathy? Was that your main symptom originally?? Gosh I hope you get some relief soon????????

Melissa,
About 6 months ago, I had severe tooth pain on the back bottom right. Since being floxed i try never to go to the doctors or dentist, but it was getting so bad i could not eat or sleep because of the pain. So in desperation and not wanting to go to the dentist, I got a q-tip and soaked it in magnesium oil and held it on the spot for a few minutes and by the next day the pain was less than half. I continued for about 3 or 4 days just to be sure and it completely went away and never came back. After the first day, I googled if magnesium oil could help heal a toothache and unbelievably there were a lot of sites.
Let us know what you try and how it helps.
Good luck????

Is it possible to be floxed on amoxicillin but not penicillin?

Correction! Is it possible to be RE-floxed on amoxicillin (suffer a relapse) but not penicillin?

Melissa,
Yea, my pain was extremely bad. It started at the base of my tooth but eventually It spread in my face and neck.
You can buy magnesium oil at any health store. I used Ancient Minerals bought on amazon.

I think I need antibiotics again for this tooth infection that is becoming very clear it is a bad infection. Any suggestions on which ones?
So far what I have reacted to (relapsed):
– Apo-Cephadroxyl (Cephalosporins)
– Amoxicillin
Has anyone also felt a relapse on the meds and still continued them to the end? I’m dying here. I have been calling dental clinic after dental clinic to beg them to extract the tooth but no one can see me.
Melissa. That sounds promising and hopefully you won’t have to take antibiotics or root canal!!! I pray it will subside on its own soon!!! Are your floxie relapse symptoms lessening?? I hope so!! ???????????????? Try to hang tight and stay calm.
Melissa. Yes! That is my question and my concern too!! And we change with time in the future and not react to future meds or antibiotics that we didn’t do well with. So frustrating and unpredictable. I think your relapse symptoms will improve soon!! Keep us posted!!

Mike,
I don’t know if you thought about it already, but I would load up on probiotics if I were facing having to take ANY antibiotic. Because even when I have to take a natural antibiotic they flare me up, and the only thing that helps is VSL probiotics. I’ve tried many others but these are the only ones that help me
get me out of the flare.
Also since you said you have cancer, I would read up on Essiac Tea. https://www.bulk-essiac-tea.com/essiac-tea-testimonials.html#stage4esophagealcancer
Good luck,
I hope and pray all goes well for you.
