I WILL NEVER GIVE

HIM CIPRO OR FLAGYL

I’m not trying

to start anything or upset anyone, just speaking from my own experience. It’s just good ole common sense

not to paint any picture in strict black and white terms, especially with

PSC. Cipro is the first line of

defense when a patient has a Cholangitis attack. Taking it before symptoms get too bad

has been able (in many people) to stop it cold in its tracks. One thing is for sure, a good doctor

will use any and every tool in his bag of tricks. I can not tell you how many times

Ken’s life has been saved – actually brought back from the brink of

death by using drugs I never would have thought were safe.

I’m a very firm

believer in knowledge is power, but I also believe it best not to limit or tie

a doctor’s hands with zero tolerance from it comes to any drugs. Penny in this group will tell you, she

was at deaths door when her doctor prescribed one particular drug. She totally lost her hearing and balance, now she

walks with a cane because of one antibotic, but she’s here, she

didn’t die! She’s seen

the birth of two grandchildren and traveled to Europe several times.

I

guess what I’m saying is….never say never. You’ll don’t know exactly

what you will do, until trouble knocks on your door.
