My doctor is saying that since I took only one dose you don’t need to work too much. He prescibed hgher dose of Vitamin D2 and B12 and suggested that help with the pains. I also bought the mutilvitamins and eating them, Any idea will this help with my pains.

Bronwen and Melissa (and anyone else who ended up with costochondritis from a flq)…I had it and it eventually went away on its own. I am trying to help out a friend, and I wonder…did you ever find anything to help with it? Thanks

Bob, so sorry the Septocaine caused you to get so much worse. Being floxed and trying to recover is bad enough let alone another medication adding more to your pain. I know it has been a long journey already making you suffer for 7 years but I hope time will still provide you some more relief. Hopefully you can get your job back or another after all this Coronavirus stuff is over. Please hang in there. Hopefully you can get stem cell in the future!!!

It’s been almost 2 months since getting a flu shot and I’m still experiencing some awful side effects. Not sure if it’s from the flu vaccine or if it’s a relaspe of Cipro symptoms. Any ideas?

Hey everyone, hope your all doing well.
Wanted to do a quick post on the HOPE side of Floxie Hope. I went for the last week with only exceptionally mild floxie symptoms. I was at least 95% of normal every day. That is the best stretch I have had since being floxed over 4 years ago. I am not ready to call it recovery yet, but those “normal” days were wonderful.
Of course when symptoms start creeping in, which they did today it is really hard to take; but I’m still on a course to recovery hopefully in the next nine to twelve months. I do note that as I have been getting closer to well my “recovery rate” has slowed.
Other reason for posting is that one of the things I did recently was change my Magnesium to include Mg Threonate for about 2/3 of my total Mg intake. It has helped my insomnia (I am sleeping through the night about half the time now) and also helped my brain fog, which is the primary symptom still impacting my life. If you haven’t tried that form of Mg, which can cross the blood – brain barrier give it a try.

How much Magnesium is every one taking? I am doing 400 mg thinking of going up to 800 mg.
Thanks and God Bless everyone fighting this hellish poison drug (Levofloxcian etc)

No for any vaccines for me. This talk of mandated vaccines scares the hell out of me. They are TOXIC.

David I am not a fan of vaccines. I got a vaccine series last spring which I think started my whole health issue which eventually caused me to take cipro. I HATE the idea of a vaccine. I hate the idea of any pharmacuticals. However we have a relative who got Covid and it’s almost killed him he is still hospitalized and was on a ventilator for 3 weeks. This gives me great pause. I might consider it but I won’t be first in line.

Andrea S.,
as you mentioned, this is a rough rough time for Henk, his last post was on May 14, so 6 days ago. I’d like to have a daily update from him, but I understand this is not possible. He needs to rest, but I’ve decided that, every week, if he doesn’t “show up” here, I’ll send a message asking some update from him. Well, now that I’m here, Henk, if you read this, please let us know how are you doing, we’re thinking about you!

I have had serious floaters since cipro – my eye surgeon, who is the top eye surgeon in my area, has discussed the only answer for those he says is the removal of the vitreous fluid in the eye and putting new fluid in he says it’s dangerous and not recommended at all. Not sure if that’s what you are referring to as a procedure, if so really research it cause it sounds very risky.
I will say that after 2 years of feeling like I couldn’t see at all because of all the floaters I am doing better, I stopped painting, as an artist I literally had to quit painting due to the floaters, I would have to shake my head side to side or up/down to move the floaters to see to paint and I had to do that every few seconds so it became impossible to paint. After a couple of years I did see improvement and I can now see most days without a lot of difficulty. If I am overly tired I will have more of them. Also my eye surgeon is very concerned about the detached retina risk with cipro poisoning and is having me come in every 6 months for the next year or so to stay on top of that. So if you can handle it I would suggest patience and see if yours clears up, your eyes are one of the most important senses so be careful.
