Prescribed an antibiotic (cipro) and its has screwed me up

I've read about Cipro possible side effects and they can be devastating.

These 2 sites might have info that could help

www.curezone.com
www.earthclinic.com


Hopefully someone here has info on what could be done?

with any antibiotic you need to replace the good bacteria again with stuff like yogurt and probiotics.

Why on Earth did they prescribe you Cipro?

And if you do not mind my asking,why are you being prescribed Antibiotics anyway?

Damn it, I am also on cipro now for an open wound that is draining.


I told the doc Augmentin made me rash in the butthole so he gave me cipro instead.

for a sinus infection.

and here i was being derided for trying to warn GLP'ers about using fish antibitoics on that thread the other day!

Why didn't you let it run its' course(scuse' the pun)instead?

Must remember that the Human Body is incredible at fighting infections but the more we take Antibiotics(literally means Anti-Life)the less chance your Immune system has of fighting of the next Infection you encounter.

So sorry for you OP.

Hubby is going thru it. It has been a nightmare but he is getting better now.

My guide to diagnosing and treating him was "The flox report" which I found online. No doctor dared to corraborate my diagnosis, and no doctor could threat him because his lab work is more then perfect.

Pain, insomnia, weight loss, acute tendinitis, psycosis are some things he has gone thru for about 7 months now.

Things to avoid: Any kind of pain medicine, specially costicosteroids.

Things that help: Magnesium , witch hazel, esential oils specially roman chamomille.

See a phsyciatrist for help with sleeping pills.

Eat a healthy diet too!

Were you discussing the ABs' that we give to Farmed Fish?

Fish Farms are atrocious places for infections of all types.

RIP OP

Call the Doctor and change your meds.

You don't need to ask glp,it's not rocket science!


How do these people function in life?

Cipro for a runny nose is ridiculous behaviour - I'd consider suing your GP - It sounds to me like when folks take their Cars to the Garage to have them fixed and the mechanic deliberately sets something else to break for further business down the road - To a Doctor your Body is a cashcow that needs breaking to fix or trial Drugs/Procedures on.

Cipro,

Ffs.

cipro was not made to treat anthrax. it does happen to treat anthrax. i have been prescribing cipro for almost 20 years. yes, there is the risk of tendon injury, and it causes some 'caffeine' like symptoms, but in general is a very safe and effective antibiotic. i have taken it myself at least 5 times with no ill effects. the tendon and joint pain will go away after off the meds. if you believe all the fear mongering you read on line...well, you are on glp.

That stuff is awful!! First time I took it for a bad infection ended up in the ER with hives that made me look like the Hulk, and I am not kidding! Never again!

how exactly does that doctor benefit from prescribing the cipro? the patient is already in the office, and he/she will be paid for the visit. there is no extra payment for the Rx. and how are you diagnosing a runny nose vs a sinus infection via the internet? morons.

And on and on and on and Ariston.

I've gotten into the habit of researching all medications I take, and you'd be shocked at some of the reported side effects. I take cipro when I need antibiotics(like maybe twice a year, if that)..because I'm allergic to penicillin. It has no side effects for me at all. I have to be very careful because some medications cause weird things for me. Like one time I went to the ER for a migraine, and I don't mean a little headache, I have death migraines that make you want to shoot your head off. They gave me compazine, and I always tell them I can't have benadryl because it makes my heart race. A few years ago they gave me benadryl and it made my heart get to 200 bpms and I've never taken it ever again. Well anyway, they gave me compazine, and it's supposed to have benadryl with it, at the time migraines were new to me and I didn't know that the two were supposed to go together to counter act the side effects of compazine. Well with about 5 minutes of an IV injection of that stuff, I went completely mental. I couldn't stop moving my body, my hands and legs went completely restless and my jaw started chattering. My hands were moving like I was mentally handicapped. It was so terrifying and then the psychological affects hit me, I started to get overly paranoid and ripped my own IV out and snuck out and RAN out of that hospital as fast as I could. It lasted two days, and I went to a different ER because I was scared of the one I went to before, and they had to give me ativan to calm my body down. It was terrible. I've had a ton of ER experiences that are incredibly frightening, so now I'm sure to talk to the nurses before they give me any medication.

About 15 years ago they gave my very young child cipro. By the next day her whole body had swollen, she was covered in hives and needed to be rushed to the hospital.

First off relax. Take a deep breath and slowly let it out. Do that several times it helps.

Now, I have taken cipro several times. It did have some latent side effects, but for the most part they disappeared after discontinuing use. I took the full prescribed courses in 2 cases.

In one, my Achilles tendons did start to hurt with movement after say taking a ride in a car. Getting out actually hurt pretty bad in those Achilles, which is one of the known problems of cipro. But I have since recovered and hopefully it wont be back.

yeah, it's a strange antibiotic for sure. Can cause the achilles to rupture, which I'm thinking is strange enough, but what else does it do to connective tissues? I say scrap that cipro for amoxicillan, which usually works pretty well, even on some skin mrsi infections.

Doctors are blowing thew mrsi out of proportion because the new antibios don't work like they should, therefore, they say take this and then this as a supplement, which is a double barreled hit of two newer antibios.
'
My mother had mrsi on her arm, and just took amoxicillan and used black salve and got over it no problem. I had mine cut open, which left a pretty good scar, and then was put on cipro etc....not worth it imo...but again, everyone is different. Check with Doctor before using just amoxicillan and black salve as skin mrsi treatment.

Break the Patient and you can prescribe away $.

Rx is not a term I am familiar with...?

By 'runny nose' I was simply quipping,but unless the OPs' Sinuses were being eaten away it would be best to let the body do its' thing - Generally I have found with infections that the time it takes for the ABs' to start working is usually not much longer than it would have been for a immune system clearance.

Antibiotics wipe out the good bacteria as well as the bad, so if you take enough for long enough, there's a chance that you'll have to get a fecal enema...that's where they take fecal matter from a healthy person and literally shove it up your ass...see, there are millions of different kinds of bacteria in our GI tract and science only has names for just a few of them.

it's not fish antibiotics, it's cipro, dumbass, and the doctor prescribed it for him. Cipro is a whole nother thing, even though you can get it from vet supplies. There have been threads here on GLP about Cipro. I might stock cipro from fish supplies, but it would be saved to be only used for something like anthrax.

this and watch for allergic reactions, which you may of had. Try a few Antihistamines.

don't use fish anything.. they're fuku-ed....

Colloidal silver is good for infections, To detox yourself, one way, fast (dont eat) and just drink gallons of filtered water for a day or two.
Liver, kidney cleanse, bowel, use herbal formulas.

I use a frequency generator for everything, It would work for sinuses,allergies, sleep disorders, tendinits, muscle pain,Detoxes,including chem trail detox, heavy metals, resonates vitamins and minerals,stimulates nerve endings, pretty much everything.

Very convieniant to have handy,Something pops up, program these frequency's into your generator.: Usualy works within a few hours.

I suggest the VariGamma, its what I use,reasonably priced, and does everything I expect it to. Dont trust meds. There made from poison. They kill more people than do good.

programing is easy.

Read these peoples side effects, sounds fucked up!

[link to www.topix.com]

"About a week ago I was taking this drug for a Morganella morganii skin infection. I was given a prescription for Cipro 500 MG twice a day for 10 days. Four days into the treatment I had to stop. I had diarrhea and a very sore throat. And it felt like my colon was burning. Especially when I eliminated. I felt that if I had continued taking the drug I may cause permanent damage to my throat and the rest of me so I stopped. Eight days after starting and five days after discontinuing the Cipro I started bleeding from my rectum."

"In 2005 I was prescribed, and took, 8 cycles of Cipro for recurring UTI's. Three years later, I have ruptured tendons and ligaments in my left elbow, left soas, outer aspect of both feet, right knee, right ankle, both rotator cuffs, and left trapezius. Each injury has occurred while engaged in utterly normal, everyday activities like bending over to make my bed or lifting my purse onto my shoulder. I have never experienced prior instances of ligament and tendon rupture. My body is literally "popping" apart and I live in CONSTANT PAIN. The chiropractic and PT bills are staggering. Has anyone out there been personally involved in, or do you know someone who has been involved in, a SUCCESSFUL CLASS ACTION SUIT against the manufacturers of Cipro?"

i dont know about detoxing but next time you need antibiotics get some colloidal silver or make it!!

Unless you are allergic to bees, BEE PROPOLIS is a fantastic natural antibiotic for sinus infections!!! No side effects either. Do some research on in and F#@k the Drs!!!

I know 3 people with tendon ruptures following Cipro treatment!

The biggest problem is widespread vitamin D deficiency that makes it very difficult for the immune system to fight off infection...

I used to get sinus infection every winter. I started taking 5,000 IU a day 4 years ago and I ended up being sick way less often.

get out in the sunshine.. free source.. oh wait... nerry mind :P
