Dear bloomingtonjeff,
What are some of the ideas you have tried to minimize the pain?
I’m on a med for the nerve pains, the muscle pains there isn’t much I can do
I’m not a chemist, but I believe Cipro is a dirivitive of of Pennecillin.
My mom almost dies from it, severe rash/high fever for a week.
What did they originally prescribe the Cipro for?
I wish the best for you. I can imagine how bad it is 🙁
Bare with me for my ignorance on this subject. if i ask a stupid question let me know. I have been through a lot of physical pain due to accidents never from medication. Have you tried holistic approaches, Acupuncture or electric shock?
I had an infection for a long time, they tried another antibiotic first over the course of 3 wks or so, then the cipro. It’s really ruined my life and kept me from doing things I used to enjoy. The days are much more bearable, it’s at nite when the pain is horrible

Try a cleanse for yeast. And acidophillus to put some good bacteria back in your gut. The antibiotics are not selective as to which bacteria they eat up…they eat it all…and then the bad bacteria takes over. Like a holy war where the battle is about poop.
All kidding aside. You are probably experiencing a raft of symptoms including muscle and joint pain, brain fog, lethargy, restlessness. I guess now we use probiotics…but I still like my idea best.
Hope this helps in any way. I have suffered myself many times. Most of my diagnosis are auto-immune. I know it’s bad when I’m even allergic to myself. hahaha 😀
I was tested for autoimmune disease and they found nothing wrong, I don’t know it’s been a tough hell ride. Haven’t tried acupuncture…tried massage therapy though
Sounds like a resitant strain of Staff.
Did the doctors ever tell you of the possible side effects? You are the first person I have heard of who had this happen.
However, realize they had to do something,,,,, coz bacteria can kill.
I had vibrio twice in my life, mortality of 50 percent even with rapid treatment. I know I felt myself dying when I had it.
Jeff,
Please…just google the symptoms of leaky gut syndrome. I’ve been waiting to tell you this. It almost killed me 13 years ago. I might know what I am talking about? 😀
