Cipro + Floxin
Posted on 14 November 2001
I took Cipro and Floxin 4 and 5 years ago and still am very sick. I have cycling too. I can feel "better" (relative word) and then get really sick again. My vision is a goner, my hearing is not good-lots of ringing-I get constant kidney stones, my liver functions are very high at times, my joints and knees are murder and I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and several months ago with costochondritis- an inflamation of the chest area and collar bone and other sites. I took 2 MRIs of the brain and the first one showed 2 non-specific white spots and the second showed up a third. My liver also has some spots. I was just 50 years old. The strange thing is that if you looked at me, you'd never think I felt so sick inside. Oh, yes, my stomach is very bad too. I gave up poultry almost 2 years ago. It's been a little better(again the word relative) but I am not good for anything! Sherry
