Joanne,
Thanks for your advice. I’ve actually been taking a probiotic for the last few months, part of what my herbalist suggested. I’ll have to stop while I’m taking the antibiotics but I’ll be back on them soon. Thanks for the suggestion about the tea. I’ll look into it. I’ll report back soon. Hopefully I’ll be home again within 10 days.
Many thanks
Mike
I just wanted to give you another site on the history in case you were interested in it ❤
Essiac Tea is an herbal remedy that a nurse, Rene Cassie, was using for 50 years that was healing more than 80% of her patients and they gave her the worse cases those who the doctors tried everything and were sent home with no hope.
Anyhow, Essiac Tea has an Amazing history of curing cancers. Please do an internet search and read about it.

Thanks, L. I don’t know what z pack is!! I’ll have to check into it.
Thanks, L. But I don’t think the doctors will allow me to do that, have anything interfering with the working of the antibiotics. But worth looking into.

Hi all. Trying to figure out what has been exasperating my side effects lately (brain fog, anxiety, nerve pain, tendons, the usual…)
One of the things I’ve narrowed it down to was the inclusion of Apple Cider Vinegar in my diet. I started taking a shot of it every day (sometimes diluted in water, but usually not) and also putting some on my salads every day. Is there any reason to think that Apple Cider Vinegar could be irritating my symptoms? Has anyone else had any issue with it? It’s really my only significant source of probiotics.
Of course it could just be a “random cycle”, but honestly it does not feel that way. Just curious to know if anyone has had a negative experience with ACV.

Thanks for your encouragement, Melissam. I’ll write when I can. Best wishes and prayers on your own present struggle.

I’ve been hearing great things about the product MitoQ but when I look up the ingredients it does have alot of questionable additives in it as followed:
Microcrystalline, Carrageenan, Hypomellose, & Silica-Colloidal Anhydrous. You’d think for the price it would be 100% organic with no chemicals. All research shows eating organic and avoiding chemicals is the way to go. Unfortunately, in desperate circumstances we take desperate measures to try to get better. At this point its hard to trust any companies that aren’t just taking advantage of people trying to get better for financial gain. We trusted our doctors and look where that got us.
I think off and on for about 6 months! And tons of magnesium, too.

Hi guys. As I wrote on some previous post, I’m experiencing GI problems after taking a probiotic for a few days. It’s been a few weeks now, if not a month already, and my symptoms aren’t improving. I’m eating clean, doing physical activity and drinking water. But i’m constanltly bloated, costipated and sometimes I experience diarreha. I’m eating prunes, and drinking aloe juice. But nothign seems to work. I was thinking about a laxative. Any suggestion?

The thing that pisses me off the most is that I’ve never experienced these kind of problems in two plus years, and after taking this damn probiotic it all went down the hill…

Has anyone had to use contrast dye for a medical procedure? I may have to have a procedure to use it, and I’m very concerned. Thanks.

L,
I can imagine that a lot of coughing and choking would be VERY exhausting and worrisome. I’m glad you got back to an almost normal life last year and hope the coughing and choking gets better soon and that there is medicine you can take to help a little. You have worked through so many FQ symptoms, so you will probably find a remedy for this too! I was on this site a good bit early on, and I know you have helped a lot of people including me and hope you can find your coughing remedy soon!
I have my annual cardiologist appointment tomorrow and I’m just trying to prepare in case I need a heart cath. I haven’t been able to take cholesterol medicine since I got the FQ toxicity 1 1/2 years ago.

Bacteriophages from the republic of Georgia are available here.
Bacteriophages are viruses that kill bacteria (and only bacteria) and are a great alternative to antibiotics.
Barbara. I’m so sorry to hear you and your husband have been struggling. I will say a prayer for you to find strength through this and definetly healing in the next few weeks. I’m sure the stress of it all is ramping up your symptoms. I can only imagine it is hard to find peace and calmness while in the middle of a storm. Keep us posted on your MRI and how you are doing. Meanwhile try to take a deep breath and ground yourself. Try to find a small piece of quiet and calm each day. I wish you well and that you and your hubby find healing soon! I will keep you in my prayers. Hugs…..????????????????Dee

Hi Guys,
so went for the cystoscopy and for my surprise I have chronical inflammation of my bladder and got another 30 days course of antibiotics. Then went to gastroenterology and they took my blood, although I was on pretty harsh gluten and lactose free diet (for 6 months) my both IgA results are worse than before. I refused colonoscopy because when I went for EKG (like pre surgery procedure) I saw the results and all my heart values are off so I don’t want to risk deep analgosedation. The doctor wants me to go for gastroscopy and then take something like Prednison.
I am in very unhappy state. I am pretty sure that this was caused by Ofloxin I took back in June. I am also very scared, I hoped that things would get better but seems it’s getting worse. Well at least the diarrhea stopped.
🙁

I just found this link by accident, but it made me wonder if those that reacted poorly to glutathione did so because it was too much, too fast… https://www.consultdranderson.com/fluoroquinolone-toxicity-cont/
