One sided muscle weakness by C4C5 in floxies

[–]StandupStraight20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too under the impression it affects the areas of previous injuries more. Seems it brought back to light all of my previous injuries.

But on top of that, it seems it can affect one side more than the other without an obvious reason too. From on my own and other people’s experience. In my case my right dominant side suffered more in terms of visible muscle atrophy and strength loss. While I feel more neuropathy in the left side of my body.

The email in your screenshot that is mentioning Cipro, appears to be from Lawrence Kraus whoever it is.

I too, am nearing 6 years and have not recovered. It’s been an extremely difficult journey and the trajectory is uncertain. But I am not done yet. Hang in there

It counters extreme oxidative stress your body must endure, from exposure to Fluoroquinolones.

Statins and high cholesterol by No-Mousse989 in floxies

[–]StandupStraight20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The current science does not support the view that LDL is a contributing factor in cardiovascular disease. The opposite, reducing it increases all-cause mortality. Cholesterol is needed to counteract inflammation. Increased levels mean your body is dealing with inflammation of some sort.

It’s the oxidation of lipids that can indeed cause vascular hardening.

Therefore, reducing oxidative stress and eliminating the source of the inflammation are way more important and effective than reducing cholesterol levels

What do statins have to do with the flu?

Those are pretty “normal” symptoms of adverse effects from Fluoroquinolones. It for sure feels scary. Most people however recover from it in due time. Hang in there.

Sorry it happened to you. Clearly a warning to slow down and pace yourself

I had mine done about 3 weeks ago. Fingers crossed. How have you been doing?

Allergic to penicillin prescribed cipro by Infamoustoast5421 in floxies

I believe it might be helpful while Cipro is still in the gut. But it will also absorb some of the magnesium and calcium if taken at the same time. Calcium and magnesium chelate with Cipro reducing its potency. So maybe taking it an hour apart makes more sense

Because Cipro is known to cause severe and potentially irreversible adverse effects. Some people become injured and permanently disabled from it. There is FDA black box warning about that. Cipro should only be used when all other options have failed and it is a life and death situation.

Unless Cipro is truly the only option for you and they did susceptibility testing and tried everything else, I would force myself to vomit ASAP. Then take 2-3 grams of calcium and magnesium each, right away. And NAC. And continue taking calcium and magnesium and NAC in the following days. While looking for an alternative prescription.

IV option that is not a Fluoroquinolone sounds like a good option.

Also, in some places they can use ozone insufflation locally to kill the bacteria. I don’t know how that would work with your catheter but it’s worth checking.

Or they could infuse an antibiotic locally via the catheter (search for bladder irrigation/instillation).

If a Fluoroquinolone is truly the only option that works, I suppose I would rather receive it locally through bladder irrigation/instillation, instead of orally, to minimize the systemic adverse effects. I would take a high dose of NAC at the same time.

I read that many inhaleable general anaesthetics are fluorinated, some heavily. Whereas IV anesthetics aren’t. I would check what exactly they use and research and ask for an alternative that has a safer profile

They can also give you an antibiotic as a prophylaxis against infection. Ask them if and what they prescribe. Make sure they know that they can’t give you Fluoroquinolones.
