 1  Parasitic bacterial infection I was initially misdiagnosed with a stomach virus and had to go back to the Doctor as I was extremely sick a week later. A second Doctor suggested that I may have a parasitic infection and prescribed CIPRO. After my second day, 4th pill, I started to feel tingling and burning sensations in both of my legs. I immediately stopped taking the pills and at this moment still feel weakness in both of my legs followed by occasional muscle spasms. I am praying that it won't get worse. Do not take this drug if it prescribed to you, even though it did get rid of my infection. I am scared and worried that my body has now been poisoned as it feels different than before and I am an athletic 40 year old man in great shape. Update: I have been doing research as of late to see if I could find anything to counter the painful effects of Cipro and started taking a magnesium supplement which seems to have considerably helped stop the twitching and general weakness in my legs. I am feeling close to 100% again but am still aware of the unknown and long term effects that seem to be associated with Cipro. M 40

Patient History
 1  diahrrea re: poss. food poisoning Extreme fatigue, weakness, joint pain in hips and knees. Dr. prescribed this to take on a trip to SE Asia in case of an intestinal infection. That was the extent of his instruction. Prior to taking cipro I was very fit and strong. Shortly before taking I had been cross-country skiing every week and often walked 4-5 miles easily. After 4 weeks the extreme fatigue was gone, but still become fatigued much easier and generally feel like the cipro has aged me many years. 6 weeks after taking it, still have much hip pain after walking an easy mile. Becomes too painful to continue after 2 miles or being on my feet for an hour such as when shopping. Gait becomes wobbly due to weakness in hip. This not improved since I stopped the cipro. This drug is to be taken as a last resort in case of a life-threatening infection that nothing else cures. M 56 2 days

 1  ear infection My hip has been extremely sore as if I injured it somehow. I narrowed it down to the fact that this all started when I started taking cipro. Antiinflammatory drugs are NOT helping. 39 7 days

 1  UTI Worst drug known to mankind. Still experiencing side effects 3 years later. Achy joints, muscle tension, spasms and twitches, peripheral neuropathy, white matter deterioration on MRI, dizziness, the list goes on. If I was offered cipro or rat poison in the future, I'd take my chances with rat poison. Ask for anything other than cipro. If you experience the devastating affects of cipro, do whatever you can to ingest an anti-inflammatory diet. A daily chelated magnesium supplement helped my nervous system and muscles so much. Water, detox, lower your stress levels. Remember your body is designed to find alignment and you WILL heal over time. F 27 2 days

 1  To prevent a UTI after cystoscopy Headache, nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite, difficulty swallowing, vivid nightmarish dreams, extreme fatigue Have taken cipro 6 times after cystoscopies for bladder cancer checkups.

 1   BEWARE of anyone claiming they have a cure for the horrific & often crippling/disabling side effects of this poisonous antibiotic. A cure does not exist. It's bad enough that we were poisoned for $$ in the first place, and then to have snake oil salesmen descend upon us once we've fallen ill, well that's just disgusting and disgraceful. F

 1  Greek Dr prescribed viral infection I should have listened to my intuition, you don't need antibiotics for a viral infection - but felt so ill abroad on holiday - trusted GP but now experiencing dreadful pain in wrists and ankle joints, swelling, fatigue, and anxiety. Back in UK Dr advised to cease taking, but didn't say how long these side effects will last. I'm exhausted and feel like I've aged 20 years overnight. F 56 3 days

 1  Kidney Systemic Tendon & ligament pain and disability. Central & Peripheral Nervous System problems. Neurological issues. Unable to walk, stand, or lay on my side. Excruciating pain in limbs, and feet. Weight loss, gum loss, hair loss. Trouble using arms and hands. Severe horrific experience. Only took 3 tablets. Set off auto-imune response for Sjorgrens. Dreadful and terrifying experience. I am now able to walk, stand, work, exercise again. Anyone severely injured, or disabled is welcome to contact me if you want to learn about the safe/ care I received that got me walking again. This experience led me to the reality of the FDA & Pharma practices of profit from knowingly disabling thousands & thousands of people for their profit. I like so many of us are no longer putting myself or family in their hands again. F 51 1.5 days
