When I’m on the computer I see sparks flying everywhere! Oh my lordd ! Try do online classes with that.. ;p haha. 🙂 i just keep telling myself i will graduate and i can pull through. sometimes It’s frustrating but its like I have to accept what is, and do the best I can. I use to be able to sit on the computer for hours on end and now its like I have to do my schoool work spread out, thirty minutes here and there..
but also you guys I’ve been applying for a job all over toooo. so i’ve been kinda stressed lately.
I am having my first acupuncture appt tomorrow. The doctor and I spoke over the phone as to what I want to have acupuncture for and what my health is like. I told him about being floxed and he told me he was aware of all of it. He has actually treated others that have had terrible reactions to taking Statins. He believes that some of the symptoms his clients have told him after taking the statins are similar to the symptoms and issues I told him I have. I am remaining optimistic that he might help me a bit. Has anyone had any type of relief from acupuncture? Is there anything I should be asking him?
Hi Michael. Do you think it’s RA that you have since your doc think so? Or do you otherwise think that it’s cipro related?

Im so very tired.
Flare ups should not last months.
Today my mum called.She’s in England. Im in the States.
She wants me to go home.I dont think I have the energy for the flight.I want to go.I just dont think I can make it.
It was a very tear filled conversation. Me just crying .My poor mum.
How is it fair to go through 18 months of this only to have it revisit 3 yrs later after doing great.
Im becoming reclusive.Not going out because I feel so bad.Tingling all over.Losing weight.Losing muscle.Dry skin.Foggy head. Cant eat but a few things ir my head gets even worse.
What do I do.Its so didappointing and scary.
That’s the big thing.The fear.I beat it once but can I again.I want to believe I can.I had to make the decision to stop work.I dont have the energy.Im a dog groomer. Its very physical.
I hate to do it but It wears me out.

So I’m 6 months in from being floxed, I went a month without feeling hurt all over my body! Now it’s back and in the worse time :,( I’m 8weeks pregnant and boyfriend (who made me feel ten times better about everything) Is at marine boot camp and can’t hear from him. I’m alone and trying to hang in there. Afraid to take tylonel because I’ve takin it the two last nights. I’m afraid the pains gonna end my pregnancy :,( I don’t know what to do.. Can I still take Epsom salt bath while pregnant? Thanks guys
Hi Rene – Always good to read your posts. I am so achy and joints hurt today. I just can’t wait to say the pain is all gone. I’ve literally been in pain everyday since this past October. I remain faithful that this pain will go away. Your posts help to reaffirm that it’s possible. Thanks.
Hi Carrie – How did your doc appt go yesterday and how was your visit today with the acupuncturist? I don’t know if I asked or not but what pains are you having? Are you experiencing any joint pain? Thanks.
Mine is good. I’ve been on it for awhile. It’s the 28 dose pack. When my cycle comes on its light with minimal cramping. I like it.

Rene, Melanie, and Lisa thank you so much for caring I am in tears because no one is here to give me advice, I forget sometimes that knowing God is with me helps and the love I have for Him. I found out too much tylenol can hurt me and my babies liver. But I won’t be doing that, about to take a hot shower. I tell my mom who is distant and my gyno that my body hurts bad at night and they don’t believe me. It’s so frustrating. And Lisa yes I want to get in contact with her

And yes Melenie I have a feeling the flare up is from how much the fetus is taking from me but it’s worth it I really want this baby 🙁

Dear “Me”….Please stay well hydrated, you don’t have to guzzle water but be sure to drink water through out the day.
It would be wonderful for you to have fellowship with other Christian believers. A place where the church is bible based & spirit filled. It will be a great resource for you to get spirit filled nourishment. I am sure you will be lead where you need to be.
I often listen to different pastors on my mp3 or on television. I find both reading the word as well as hearing the word is potent medicine. Like a sharp sword it cuts through every spirit of fear, confusion, despair and makes me new again. I am no longer besieged with torment and fortified in my faith.
I listen to Kenneth & Gloria Copeland Healing School, Joseph Prince, Charles Capps for his healing audio “God’s Creative Powers”. I love to sing along with songs of praise, the get into my spirit and fill me up to. Singing words that express my heart and glorify God, are one of my favorite things. When I was a very young girl, I refused to sing in school if I didn’t like the song,….got into a bit of trouble…..and now I love it so, and sing what is in my heart.
Ancient Mineral – Magnesium Oil Spray can be bought on line. It is wonderful and easy to use, inexpensive too. After applying to your legs, arms, areas that ache….15 -20 minutes later wipe off the residue with a warm cloth. It will have fully absorbed, and this way you will not have the dry residue left on your skin.
If you have any buffered Vitamin C that may be helpful. Being that you are in your 1st trimester, just 6 weeks, will be very important fro you to connect with the gal that Lisa suggested.
God Bless,
Rene

Hi to all,
Unfortunately I have reason to need to control blood pressure – currently low 150/90. I feel sure that this has been caused by Fluoroquinolone toxicity. Has anyone had experience of taking Ramipril (ACE inhibitor) to control this and have any worrying metabolic interactions occurred? I always get a second opinion rather than trusting the doctor these days…… Many thanks

Hey guys! I’m going to my doctor today to discuss my bladder issues! 🙂 Also, going on a low dose old birth control… very nervous! But, yeah 🙂 Hope everyone is ok 🙂
Hello. I have recently been given Cipro for the fourth time to treat the same condition: ulcerative colitis. The first time I had it, I was hospitalized due to three days of non-stop acute diarrhea and inability to digest food properly (it went right through me and came out like water). I was given an IV dose of Cipro and Flagyl in combination for three days until i was able to manage pill intake. Since then, I have been prescribed Cipro a couple other times. I already have problems with low electrolyte levels and already take Magnesium (natural calm), Calcium Xtra (Puritan’s Pride), Vit D, Multivitamin, and Glucosamine Chronditin. Whenever I have taken Cipro, I noticed pain in my muscles and having read the side effects, just counteracted the pain by increasing my supplement levels. The first time I was on it, I developed an ear infection. My MD just referred me to an ear dr. who then prescribed another antibiotic for the ear infection. (Typical medical drs.) I know the ear infection was caused by the cipro. This time around (being treated for flare-up of my IBD and fever that hasn’t gone away yet still after almost 2 wks), I almost immediately developed sharp pain behind my left shoulder as well as pains in my feet and legs. I researched on-line and found multiple sites regarding cipro poisoning and effects it can have. I kept taking the cipro till the 4th pill, and when the pain increased I grew very scared and requested an antibiotic change from my dr. My symptoms this time include the muscle cramps/tendon cramps/pain, Left ear pain, and strange, scary dreams. I believe I had the dreams in the past as well but didn’t take exceptional note of them. My dr. has changed my antibiotic, and I’m now on Augmentin, hoping it will kill my confirmed bacterial infection. Still running fevers and waiting for that to work while dealing with left-over pain from the Cipro. Having read much on these sites, I’m scared that my pain will continue or grow. I have already increased my magnesium intake, tried making “magnesium oil” and rubbing on my hurting muscles (which made them hurt worse), increased my calcium supplement intake, increased my Glucosamine Chronditin intake, tried NAC, tried ACV, and am hoping to get Milk Thistle or some type of Glutathione and try that. I just came across this site and thought you all might be interested in seeing what some medical researchers have found. http://wyss.harvard.edu/viewpressrelease/117/

Does anyone recognise this story: cipro 750mg 2x day for several weeks 5 yrs ago. Two years of chills, weakness, extreme pain from clinking sounds, diarrhea, spraining ankles. Then tooth suddenly cracked out of nowhere, dental injection of septacaine made the world spin. Third visit — rocking became permanent for next two years, along with extreme anxiety and tinnitus. At two year mark, rocking, anxiety and tinnitus got a little better, but sharp pain in fingers, achilles tendons, muscles, stiffness suddenly began and continue to date.
Rubbing turmeric powder on painful spots really helps.
Well everyone I am heading into the Neurologist don’t know why but maybe it will help me with SSI or something. Anyway I will let you know if I learn anything useful. As the good book says “Keep up the fine fight..”

Hi Josie. I have friends that take the depro. I’ve been on trinessa for awhile.
Josie I would go on an older one. I never have been a fan of the depo.
