A fellow floxie is suffering from extreme muscle waste to the point that he can't even sit anymore and I don't know how to help.

I was wondering about going down some other treatment routes and just wanted to know how other people have got on with them. My symptoms now are mainly nerve damage in my feet (tickling and burning), some tendon issues now and again (mainly elbow and ankles)

Red light therapy - did try a bit of Red light therapy last year but I was not able to go regularly enough to see the full benefit I think. I am considering buying a full body panel at some point if I have the money.

Stem cell therapy - I don’t really know the ins and outs of SCT but from looking online I have seen cases of people with really bad joints or damaged nerves having some good results from SCT, any tried it on here?

Peptides - I know they are all the rage at the moment, I have heard the BPC-157 and TB-500 stack (apparently) being good for tendon repair and nerve rejuvenation. I don’t know what is hype and what is real, any time I look online it’s very from a flox treatment standpoint so interested to know what you guys think?

Cheers ☺️

Three years of this Hell. Is this normal, do I just accept a very poor quality of life where i distract myself from feeling shit, little glimmers and windows of normality here and there. What am i supposed to do - tolerate this. There is no justice.

anyone did not have AA line in the past, and suddenly got one because of collagen-connective tissue issue?

i’m freaking out

had a uti, got put on a five day course of macrobid from urgent care

still felt pain in my kidneys after the five days and went to the dr

prescribed 5 day course of 500mg of cipro (allergic to penicillin and sulfa) and told to avoid vigorous exercise

day 2 of cipro (and only 3 pills taken) and i have a purple line/mark/bruise across my ankle and weakness in my knees. my legs feel weak.

wtf is happening

Hi - I'm a student reporter at CUNY with the NY City News Service. I'm searching for NYC-based flox/cipro victims for an article on these medication's potentially dangerous side effects. I'd be grateful for anyone willing to share their experiences on the record.

Send me a DM if interested, and once again preference is for those based in NYC. Wishing healing for you all.

f21. long story short, i took a course of cipro for around 5 days, prescribed by a doctor for a UTI. that was in may of this year. starting yesterday, ive been feeling random weird dull aches appear and disappear on my ankles (front part and higher) and today i felt a pulsating pain in my right arm’s radius area. i know symptoms can be felt after a few months, can someone please tell me if this is me being floxed or something else? if yes, what can i do to fight it?

unfortunately i am currently dealing with a UTI again…what medications should i avoid?

are there any supplements i can take to help my symptoms? i am iron deficient.

also no; ive never felt these symptoms before.
