Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Hi , I had a pocket of infection above my eyetooth, had to have surgery, got a worse infection, was put on Biaxin, than Cipro, was off my Zithromax for 2 months, Cipro made the lyme get out of control, I couldn't believe how much pain med I needed. When all healed and I could go back on Zithromax 600, mg once a day, the pains went away. Cipro does not work for my lyme at all, and I think two months would have shown if it did. I didn't care if I died, I almost couldn't work the last two months of school and it was 100 degrees in the building. Just thought I would let you know, I had bad pains with cipro.

I had a severe reaction with my joints and muscles. The bottom of my feet were killing me when I walked. Turns out that is one of the side effects of Cipro. There are actually documented cases of Achilles heels snapping from the drug's effects! Not to scare you, but I immediately stopped taking it. So be sure to watch out for those side effects.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2002 Report Share Posted January 13, 2002 , Anyone who takes Cipro can't be on an antidepressant. I took it not knowing this and could not quit crying. [ ] Cipro BlankI went to see my LLMD on Fri. and he said my bartonella was positive and has put me on cipro along with the rocephin. After reading the adverse reactions, I don't know if I want to take it. I haven't been able to sleep since starting it, which is listed as a possible reaction. How have others reacted to cipro? Also, since I was gone all last week I was on no mail, but read a couple of posts today about flagyl? Is that mainly for babs, or can it be taken with other abx for Bb? I also had a WA-1 done at Igenex while I was down in CA and should have the results in about 10 days. So it will be interesting how that turns out.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2002 Report Share Posted January 13, 2002 My dr didn't either. I had to prove it to the nurses it was in the sample box sheet of reactions,etc. They didn't believe me till I showed them in black and white. Call the pharmacist, he can tell you. Don't believe everything drs do or do not tell you. I learned that the hard way. Re: [ ] Cipro , Thanks for the info.

Hello , I have been informed from a credible source that Flagyl is very useful for both Baeasia and Bb. However, often referred to as primary used for Babasia.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2002 Report Share Posted January 14, 2002 I took cipro with biaxin for bartonella for two months with no obvious side effects. I did go downhill during that time tho cuz the orals just weren't cutting it anymore and we made the decision to go for the IV which I'm doing very well on. I also didn't know about the anti-depressant warning! I can't remember if I was on the elavil during that time for sleep yet or not. I wonder if the dose of the antidpressant matters? If you're only taking 1/2 a tablet once a day of the antidepressant is it still a problem as opposed to taking a high dose for depression?

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2002 Report Share Posted January 14, 2002 Thanks to everyone who responded. It sounds even scarier than the circular they put out with it. My body is so sore already, I don't know if I could tell if it came from the med. Achilles pain is one symptom I have had all along. I will be sure to carefully monitor every pain now.

I reread the circular that came with the cipro and still don't see anything specific about not taking antidepressants. I did get a good night's sleep last night, so think it was just the stress of the trip and not the med that was causing the insomnia.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I don't know if your pain relief is due to the Cipro, however, I did get alot of kidney infections due to the implants. I didn't know back when I got the infections that it was related to my implants, but I never had a problem with my kidneys until after I got them. My infections were so bad I was hospitalized and put on morphine for pain. Then the next year, they found a mass in my kidney that was blocking the flow of urine, which in had to be removed. During the surgery they pulled out 20 calcified stones out of my right kidney. I now wonder if the mass was formed as a result of the silicone. I was never told if they did a pathology report on the mass. Make sure your doctor sends you to a urologist to get your kidneys exrayed. My doctor never found the mass when I had the recurring kidney infections, but my urologist did after I went in for a second opinion for an Interstitial Cystitis diagnosis.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Bladder and kidney infections are pretty common among implanted women . . . Probably because of the toxins passing through . . . Drink plenty of non-chlorinated water! . . . Crandberry juice is excellent too! . . . But not the sweetened stuff! If you do have to take antibiotics, be sure to pile on the probiotics (like Primal Defense) too to replace the beneficial organisms in your body that get destroyed!

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Antibiotic therapy uses an antibiotic like Minocin. small doses several times a week for a long, long time .. . . Cipro is a heavy duty/sledge-hammer! Rogene --- auntsisnj <auntsisnj@...> wrote: > GMC, > > Could very well be that it's helping.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Hi GM! . . . Antibiotics do reduce inflammation and treat infections. However, they can't cure the effects of toxic implants. Any relief there would be temporary. However, while free of pain, take the opportunity to review your diet, detox programs, and options. It's awfully hard to do when you're feeling so bad! BTW, I sent you a long personal message, then my computer logged me off! . . . .GRrrrrrrr . . . Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Actually cipro is an alternate drug used on antibiotic therapy and some people respond very very well to it. In fact, like gmc stated, while on the antibiotic they felt great, off of it their arthritis returned. Certainly this is some valuable info that you have some sort of pathogens that are being killed off by the antibiotic that are playing a part in your autoimmune process. AP therapy helped save my life and I wouldn't hesitate to recomend it. But I also think that giving natural antibiotics a trial is a good first course. I responded similarly to olive leaf extract as I did minocin. It was quite strong for me. If you do antibiotic therapy the standard one is minocin or doxycycline, some people use erythromycin. They also use clindamycin as an adjunct and I did very well on that. However you can't take clindy all the time--only as IV, or oral about once a week. If you would like more info, the www.roadback site is a god place to start. I am glad that you found this out. It gives you a clue as to what is going on with you.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Hi Amy, I haven't seen anything on the Medication Alert Lists about Cipro and peripheral neuropathy. But I did see Chloroquine, but Cipro is a quinolone - I don't know enough chemistry to know if it is a derivative or not. Your local pharmacist can be a great help with this, so ask. Here's a link to some Cipro info, side effects, etc. http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/cipro_ad.htm I hope you start feeling better soon and have an enjoyable Easter with your family.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Hi, I have used it in the past without any complications. That is not to say that this time around that you would not have any issues with it. I think that if there is not an equivalent to it then I would talk to my prescriber and mention the CMT factor and maybe both of you could track your progress while on it. Maybe keep a diary of each day that you are on it and see if there is any type of pattern. Good luck with it. Teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 hi , talk about doctors not being thorough, or caring, I went to see my gastroenterologist today, to be scheduled for a colonoscopy. He won't set up an appointment until I clear it with Dr. Talpaz. I thought that was pretty considerate. On the other hand tomorrow I go for labs and get either one of two girls that both give me a hard time. Last week the one could not get the blood to flow, put the needle in and out twice, blamed me for having my arm in the wrong place! And she is the one I complained to about the other pain in the butt! It is time to switch doctors and hospitals again. I do not need an onc .. for this trial, a GP will do, so I am trying to get a local dr. to take me as a patient. Whatever happened to treat patients with tender loving care?

I looked up Cipro and here is part of what I found: Aug 14, 2008 | Waichman Alonso LLP " Overuse of antibiotics like Cipro and amoxicillan result in serious reactions that send more than 140,000 people to emergency rooms every year. Those starting statistics provide yet another reason for doctors to limit their use of the drugs.The findings are part of a new study on antibiotic reactions in the U.S. - the first of its kind -conducted by the Centers or Disease Control (CDC). " Something else crossed my mind, what about the trial drugs, the drug companies are not very transparent in that regard, so the pharmacist wouldn't know. Gleevec is an approved drug and it would seem that information would be easier to find on it. Blessings, xoxox Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
