My heart aches for all you have been through and had to endure!! From CIPRO!! Thank you for the awareness. It’s too bad they don’t have a simple blood test to see if the individual can take this family of drugs. My 3 year old has been fighting a UTI for 3 weeks. I will not be letting the dr prescribe this family of drugs. She has been on Bactrim which I think worked but maybe needed a little longer prescription. Then we ended up back to the dr on Thursday they put her on chepalexin. Then we ended up back today. Still on it until the culture comes back. What a blessing you are to whoever watches this. 🌟 You are a beautiful lady!! Many prayers for you!! 🙏🏼

Thank you for sharing your story. I am glad you are staying positive

I was hoping I'd find you, thank you so much for telling your story. I had a reaction to lupron shots, also with a black box warning. So many don't even know that's even a thing and it's scary. I will pass this info on, I was prescribed cipro so many times for my bladder issues, and it was IC, not infection. I was lucky enough to find the tea in my name, that I advocate to keep safe and legal with many others. I think it could really help both you and your husband if you research with an advocate. The Fda info is flawed, but they are taking their time correcting so google info cant be trusted. Makesure to find an advocate, we're all over social media 😊💗🙏💪

I just finished this antibiotic and no one told me about these side effects. I was so sick and in pain when I took Cipro and didn't know it was making me sick. I pray for you and your family 🙏 thank you for helping others learn about this ❤️

@@kratombutterfly9959 Fellow advocate here! You do Kratom, good girl/boy! If I went on about the benefits of K for Opioid addiction my comment wouldn't get posted, but good for pain and great start to get off em'!

That's scary bc it shows that you can have the bad side effects even if you didn't get it the first time, if you had it five times! I wonder why or what happened to make it worse the last time. It's true that antibiotics kill all bacteria and some bacteria is healthy and we need it. I am so sorry, I wonder WHY it does this is the question, and what can be done to repair your damage. I really hope you keep this updated. I'm sure you aren't the only one who had horrible results. It's of interest to me bc I have taken it and no side effects, but now...I know that fluouracil and fluouraquinones are used to treat various illnesses, and yes neuropathy is often caused by the quinones. But lung damage sounds horrible, all of it does really. I hope you are going to be okay.

@@nadiamccall4311 These are excellent questions, Nadia. I was injured from this drug, too, 2 years ago. The theory is that the toxins in FQs (and the flouride within them) never fully leave the body. They can damage our mitochondria with every dose. So when someone reaches their personal "tipping point" threshhold of FQs, the damage can come all at once (like for Talia and me) or it can come months later, even after stopping the FQ. The damage accumulates.

Do you happen to be an RN? If so, do you know what mechanism of the drug is causing such adverse effects? Or what factors increase the likelihood of adverse drug effects?

OMG, I am so sorry to hear this! I am so glad you could recover a little and walk again. Thank you for sharing! I am allergic to amoxicillin so I will be sure to watch out for cipro prescriptions too! I hope you are able to recover more! 🙏 ❤

Another horrible side effect it is notorious for is C-Diff which of course I ended up getting. I didn’t realize I had it for a couple weeks bc I had an undiagnosed GI disease & was used to having stomach cramps & diarrhea, especially after antibiotics, so it got a lot worse. I would’ve gone to the doctor before I did but the diarrhea was so bad I didn’t want to risk going in my pants around my then girlfriend and I was too sick to drive (I was young & in a new relationship with a gorgeous woman I viewed as “being out of my league”). What made me get past my fear of 💩 my pants was I couldn’t sleep for 2 nights bc of the dehydration & endless pooping which made me hallucinate. C-Diff is so bad taking a single sip of water is enough to trigger a bowel movement. I could feel the water immediately empty from my stomach into my intestines bc it’d start a spasm which then made a gurgling waterfall like noise & then I’d have at most 20-30 seconds to get to a toilet. I took 2 rounds of antibiotics that didn’t work then I took Vancomycin which thankfully did work bc back then they didn’t know about stool implants to cure C-Diff. I legitimately thought I was going to die during my illness. It is impossible to hydrate yourself even though it doesn’t make you throw up. You have painful diarrhea like 30+ times a day. About a year after this I got a bad case of food poisoning with bloody diarrhea & it was nothing compared to C-Diff. It felt like the equivalent of a minor sore throat from a cold compared to strep throat. Anyhoo what I’m trying to say is a lot of doctors either don’t know about most side effects or they don’t care. I’ve been prescribed Cipro twice since I had C-Diff & refused to take it which made them label me as a difficult patient so now I am treated differently by doctors in that network. Thankfully I found a great doctor who is in his late 60s & still works like how doctors used to work (& still should) instead of scheduling patients every 10 minutes & passing you off to a specialist doctor for everything (which they do to make more money & to pass off responsibility. All hospital networks in the US use this model now).

I’ve been misdiagnosed so many times by nurse practitioners that I no longer allow them to treat me. In some cases, a supervising doctor would come in to review the diagnosis and then would correct it. In some cases, the nurse practitioners would say my condition would subside and just to go home without any treatment but then the doctor would make the correct diagnosis and saved me from sepsis which could’ve killed me!

She sounds Evil.

Did your doctors explain what the Cipro did to you?

I have NEVER heard of someone being prescribed Cipro for diverticulitis. It doesn't go away, as you know. It's parts of your bowel have been stretched into pockets which accumulate waste and cause inflammation. I can only assume it was prescribed for your resulting infection which is a real shame because a good doctor/nutritionist should be providing you with diet and lifestyle changes that minimize the risk of developing infections while living with your condition, which is not uncommon

I was also prescribed cipro for diverticulitis. It’s very common. You need to learn the difference between diverticulitis and diverticulosis. Diverticulitis is an. Infection that is sometimes treated with antibiotics. Diverticulosis is the condition of having pockets in your colon. Diet and lifestyle can help prevent the infection.

​​@@2degucitas No. Other than saying, "Oh-- you just had a bad reaction to 'a medication,'" the doctor offered NO other explanation to just how bad the Cipro poisoned me. I had to find out the difficult way--i.e. "do my own research."

​​​@@heatherfoster7823 I don't have an ongoing condition of diverticulitis. What happened, is that I am a Type 1 diabetic who developed random abcesses in my ankle, then right thumb, in Sept.- Nov. of 2017. I was on other antibiotics for almost 2 months straight. Then by Dec. of the same year, I kept having nearly-uncontrollable diarrhea that NOTHING would cure, plus a low-grade fever. My primary care physician was so over- booked with a bad seasonable flu epidemic at the time, that his staff to me to go to the ER for treatment. Little did I realize how bad things were going to get for me . . .

I was prescribed this medication for Colitis. When I took this medication it made my chest hurt like I got beat up. My heart rate was through the roof I thought I was going to have a heart attack. It also gave me anxiety and I had panic attacks over absolutely nothing. Super scary stuff and the doctors don’t even tell you when they prescribe it. I didn’t know until I read the paper attached to the bag with the pills in it. It said “may lead to death.” I was like what the hell are they giving me. I completely believe this woman’s testimony.

Same here!

@@samanthaaa581 oh my goodness, I can relate! I’m so sorry you had to go through this as well! 🙏 It definitely gave me anxiety and felt really awful. They gave it to me for a simple UTI. Like mentioned in the video there’s so many other medication alternatives other than this horrible medicine! I still can’t imagine why they prescribe this one! 😩🙏

I too had a bad reaction after my doctor prescribed Cipro. I got heart palpitations and then passed out falling to the floor. My husband almost called 911 but luckily I came to. I will never take Cipro ever again

@@nannygirlkc Wow I’m sorry to hear it happened to you as well! It appears many others also have a bad reaction to this medication. 🙏😩

I wonder if she was told it was all in her head and that she was a right wing nut who watched to much TV or believed things on the internet and she should have more faith because the company said it was fine and it worked.

The pharma company didn't do this. This was an incompetent doctor -- what he did was basically like seeing there was a spider on the bed, and ordering napalm of the entire neighborhood -- sure, the spider is likely gone, so is the dog, the neighbors children, your shed...

And if you have no money or a lawyer go pro bono or there is a class action you won't get a thing and they wont' even pay for your med bills.

Good idea please dont go to any doctors and dont use any meds!

I wonder if she could have treated the UTI with natural methods? Everybody should know the side effects of drugs before prescribing. Did she sue Cipro for her hospitalizations?

You know it. Cipro.

That stuff is like poison. It can cause musculoskeletal issues for the rest of one's life even after just a single course of the antibiotic. I took a course when I was about fifteen, which was ridiculous. I NEVER should've been prescribed it. I would wake up and could barely walk down the stairs because I was so sore from that garbage and these negative effects never have completely subsided. And dear God, don't ever take the IV version. It's that much more intense and hazardous. Many users of cipro end up having fibromyalgia for the rest of their lives or a disorder that closely resembles fibromyalgia. And getting treated for legitimate pain these days is a nightmare. The medical system treats everyone but celebrities and the ultra powerful like they're criminals. This country is a freaking joke and no one is ever held accountable, including the doctors, health systems, and the corporations that manufacture these drugs.

My son was prescribed this for a sinus infection. It made him feel terrible so he stopped after about 5 days. When we looked it up I was appalled!

I had a similar reaction to Cipro in 09- 2&1/2 years of extreme muscle/tendon pain later, I count myself as one of the lucky ones.

​@@alisonmcguffey5896the best remedy I found for chronic sinus infections was using a neti pot and adding a dropper full of colloidal silver. It cleared up and I have far fewer sinus infections now. When I used to get them several times a year and a few of them were quite severe.

OMG I am so sorry this happened to you!! It’s horrific!!!

Hopefully you got some compensation for your injuries. It's unlikely though because the American government does everything in its power to protect corporations and the ultra wealthy. This country is one big joke and it pains me to say that.

Omg! 😢

Also thank God for your caring doctor!! Bless you sweetheart. I took them too.

Wow i took some years ago and my feet started itching..i stopped

She was taking care of her husband. How the heck does she do it?

We pay professionals & then have to check up on everything they do- pharmacists, drs, nurses, lawyers, realtors, etc!

Yeah. Some of their advice can kill you

Now with the Internet I look up every prescription doctors prescribe. One doctor wanted to give me Farxiga for my kidneys. Know where I could find it was safe for type one diabetics. Researching more I discovered I just wasn’t drinking enough water. Took a year but my kidney test continued to improve. Went from 52.7 and now it’s 6.8.

sadly yes. Docs barely know shit about the stuff they prescribe. It's the PHARMACIST who fills you in on the real dirt, will tell you if there are contraindications, if it is a serious drug, etc. Docs really only prescribe but RARELY have had a clue about sides or possible complications. I found that out the hard way sometimes.

Black box warnings are for the docs to tell us about NOT for the patient

OH! And the punchline is that he had me take it before test results even came back. When they did come back, after I took the Cipro that hurt me, I got a call saying that I would have to come back in to take another antibiotic. I hung up the phone and haven't been back to a doctor ever since. I'm prepared to die in my home before seeing another fkn doctor. Something tells me I'll live longer by avoiding them.

You should have gone back to get the new antibiotic​@@user-gr9gp5mo7n

Your doctor is an a**hole for yelling at you like that and not taking your concerns seriously. I'm glad you're not going back and I'm glad you're health is improved.

I’m so sorry. 😢

Pls report this dr. Hope you’re ok

Back in my day sulfamethoxazole (sulfa pills) was traditionally the drug of choice for urinary tract infections it turns your pee orange - you can drink tons of Cranberry juice as well to achieve the same effect. Better yet - get fresh cranberries for 100 percent natural to get off of Big Pharma meds. Guarantee it will clear it up.

Thank you! Wishing you all the best

What on earth is a turbo cancer? Is this a colloquialism associated with a political movement?

I was on Bactrim for a few days after I got a laceration that tore my achilles tendon and got SO sick off it. I had to discontinue after 2 days. Went on something less strong and was fine. Antibiotics can be crazy……

you dont understand? it's called depopulation

We cannot BAN fluoroquinolones /quinolone antibiotics! That’s a naive and adolescent perception which is also an extremely dangerous one. Especially during a period of time where we are battling antibacterial resistant strains!It’s simply a tool that needs to remain available for certain or extreme cases of infection or sepsis that’s not responsive to alternative profiles! This notion that everything which is possibly dangerous needs 100% banned is a foolish one by an uneducated and irrational society. The issue is a lack of knowledge by physicians and failure of personal responsibility on behalf of the patients, caregivers or custodians to understand the the available treatments and dangers of substance they put into their OWN bodies. The dangers of fluoroquinolones has been well documented and publicly for over 15 years now! People need to be more aware or educated of the substance they take or are given and make educated logical and rational decisions on their own depending on their own unique circumstances. The effects of being floxed are not typically worth the risk, however those severe side effects are extremely rare. Most people whom think they where floxed, or are even told by a physician that they where floxed, are only showing symptoms of the original and common side effects. This is psychology amplified via the information and public awareness which is ironic as the people whom originally fought for recognition of floxing had been erroneously and unfairly accused of psychosomatic illness. True floxed individuals face sever and excruciating pain as their tendons continuously contract so severely that they often rupture! The first symptoms of being floxed is that your hands contract, curling into a balled up fist you cannot open along with curling of your toes and feet. This progresses untill you start tearing tissue off the bone. The hands curl so tightly their fingernails tare through the palms and into the bone. Then every nerve in your body beings to fire all at once as if your dipped into a raging fire. I’ve seen dozens of floxed patients and everyone of them first loses the functionality of their hands. Unable to hold keys or open the door. But even with the possibility of these ( fairly rare) horrific sided effects the substance must remain available to save the lives or otherwise better the lives of those patients whom may need them. Who are we to limit those individuals from life saving measures or the resources required to possibly better their lives? People also have to stop trusting naively in their physicians to the extent that they fail to research their own treatments and the chemicals they are given. There’s other more rational and effective methods to insure patients know the risks and agree to them without wrapping the country in Disneyland branded bubble wrap.

Neither does the Fda.

Daaaannng!

I developed a sun sensitivity from an antibiotic as well. It lasted like 3 years. I even burnt my eyes on the sun!! However, if you're peeing blood, cipro might have been necessary in your case. I had pneumonia so mine were definitely worth the risk at that point

Yes it was commonly and regularly prescribed to multiple people for numerous reasons at high doses and prolonged durations before the first few floxed patients caught hard for recognition by the medical community. The originally known side effects where harsh but nothing compared to the rare few whom became floxed. Those people wake up the next day with all their tendons pulling all hard that they often rupture! They wake up with their hands fully contracted so hard their fingernails dig to their bone. Their feet curl under massive tension. They have constant cramps / Charlie horses in their hands, calf’s, and feet. Their nerves all fire at the same time like soaking in the flames of fire. It’s a pain that no regular person could comprehend. Today many people claim to have been floxed but simply suffer from the normal Sid effects of the drug combined with the psychological effects of knowing about the risks of quinolone antibiotics

​@heatherfostern7823 not necessarily, I treated my uti that had blood with a natural treatment.

@@ghibtyphoidThis was for sure bad intent because doctors have had enough education to know what a black box warning on an antibiotic means. Whoever prescribed that antibiotic to that poor woman should get locked up in prison for a very long time, because it’s clear to me that a doctor who would do that to someone while knowing all the potential risks of doing this is corrupt and cares more about profit than people. I bet my whole bank account that the doctor behind all this trouble didn’t even warn this lady about the potential severe side effects of these kinds of antibiotics, probably just so he/she could seriously hurt this poor lady’s health and then make even more profit off of that! It’s almost like big pharma’s secret slogan is ‘profit over people!’. This is so disgusting, the woman in the video should sue that doctor and get his/her medical license taken away FOREVER! 😠😫

@@ghibtyphoid Didn’t even watch the video but feels confident in speaking on it. Even got 6 thumbs up. Incredible. What an incredible world we live in today.

​​@@Omnihilo uh, I watched the video as well and there are risks with ANYTHING. Kids and adults who are allergic to animal fur/dander, allergic reactions to specific foods, deadly reactions to drugs and medications, ALL of life and what it consists of has risk. There are warnings on these boxes, however, I would agree that the patient did do her part in advocating for herself only to be misled by her doctor because there were possible alternatives. IF you're a woman who has always been prescribed a specific drug for an UTI, don't stray away from it. Continue asking for the same or similar one but don't budge on something new or different just because your doctor says to do so. There's a reason why you should always ask for the same medication, simply because it works. That should never deter your physician from keeping your health and safety compromised. As for life itself, there are all kinds of risks with these drugs. There are once in a million chances that something bad occurs, but often more than not, it would be considered rare simply because the majority of humans who have used them have gone on to be fine. You truly won't know until you find out for yourself and report back to your doctor about your symptoms.

Cipro is safe for some people and not others. Unfortunately, the doctor doesn't know ahead of time who will have bad side effects. All medications have the potential to cause harm to someone.

It is public info its listed in the side effects, always look up side effects for any medication prescribed to you, you do not have to take it !!!!

Omg! I'm glad you're ok. Sending ❤your way lady.

One of the risks of this drug is QT prolongation (heart arrhythmias). :(

So very true

such a blessing, thanking Him for my health

My spinal cord Dr use to prescribe it to me all the time. Then they stopped out of no where and started using something else.. You would think they wouldn't give this medication to someone who already has major nerve problems. Thank God you and I didn't suffer from any bad side effects

The prescriptions stopped because, about 7 years ago, FDA put out a safety advisory about permanent disabling damage as a potential side effect -- that's after a lot of people complain and campaign about extreme side effects for years.

Thanks for posting, Pam, my life was also destroyed by these drugs.

It's just horrific

It’s a well documented dude effect that many of us have been trying to inform the public about. The details of truly floxed patients is so horrendous you cannot imagine. It happens rapidly and often never dissolves. Their tendons constantly contract and so hard they commonly rupture! Not one tendon on their body but all of them. They’d hands ball up into a fist so tightly their own finger nails dig to the bone. Every nerve In their body fired at once like being burned alive. It’s the most painful experience we know of.

Cipro is indicated for advanced urinary tract infections such as pyelonephritis. It’s efficacy when used thusly is highly noted. Unfortunately, so too are it’s side effects.

Yes! Cipro was used to treat anthrax. There's other less dangerous antibiotics that can be used to treat UTIs. I was prescribed Bactrin to treat a UTI years ago.

It should be illegal permanently to give to anyone for anything

They get $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Where there’s smoke, there’s money

Because many milder antibiotics, no longer work.

This antibiotic is very effective against anthrax and some other aggressive bacteria. It is not meant to be used when there are other options.

It’s a really cheap generic now. Nobody is making tons of money off of it like that. It’s just one of only a few available antibiotics that are good at treating uti and upper respiratory tract infections. If you have a sulfa allergy you are almost out of options for urinary tract antibiotics. Levaquin is better for respiratory like bacterial pneumonia but it is a fluoroquinolone too and can also cause tendon rupture, arrhythmia, psychosis, etc.

this sounds like neuropathy which can be very painful, like the feeling of frostbite or dying nerve endings -- it really does hurt. Shingles also has this effect. Neuropathy is really common with people who get radiation for cancer...and one of those meds involved is FLUOURIQUINONE. So this makes sense.

@@Onasugar Which is not such a bad idea in the first place.

Good point BUT sometimes you really need them. Especially if they risk outweighs the illness. In the case of a simple UTI the risk of taking Cipro absolutely Is more dangerous when there are other antibiotics with much less risk. I just will never understand why such a strong drug is prescribed for something that doesn’t need it

Mine was blank! Completely blank! I wasn’t warned by anyone. It’s never the patients fault. It is 100% the fault of pharma, the fda and drs. They all know how dangerous these drugs are. Drs prescribe because they work and they think it’s rare to have a reaction, but it isn’t. It’s just rare for a dr to report the reactions! I was an RN, I know! And I’m floxed

You never should’ve been given cipro while pregnant. It is highly dangerous not only for you but your child. Fluoroquinolone adduct to your dna. They don’t leave the body.

For readers' clarity: PPIs are a class of drug called Proton Pump Inhibitors that reduce production of stomach acid and Rx'd for GERD/gastro-esophageal reflux disease.

Do your research,- there is lots you can do. Baking soda elevated bed, etc

Pepcid is not a PPI that I switched to because PPIs can cause bone density loss. It does not always work as well so I have to take Tums with it but I have to take them for the bone loss anyway.

Yes only found out about PPIs when I saw a new doctor. Same thing with Singulair. And there were class action lawsuits that happened or were in progress over these medications. Never knew about any of them until after the fact/too late.

Yeah but got to give her props for spreading awareness after what happened to her is traumatic, but she's a great soul and person. She will recover fully and walk again.

Good luck. The system is intentionally setup to protect the physicians and the healthcare systems with zero regard for the patient. The doctors always have a huge team of well funded lawyers at their beck and call. Holding criminal doctors accountable is basically impossible. America is a JOKE!

Yes you should be refused by all doctors and never given any medicine or medical treatment esp when you are carried in dying!

@@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307 "Medicine" Read the reviews and results with D Mannose and UTI's, look at the research on the NIH.

You can die from a UTI. It is more serious than people realize, especially in the elderly. It can cause balance problems and dizziness, confusion.

Please try safe and effective remedy for UTI ... e.g. strong camonmile tea... 5 tea bags in half cup of hot water.. slowly sipping for 30 mins and add another half cup of hot water after finish drinking ( to reuse the tea bags 3-4times)... Then take another 5 fresh/new comonmile tea bags make another round ...24 hours - 10 camonmile tea bags..you will feel at least 50% symptom relieved after 24 hours ..Do ypur own research on camonmile tea/flower

@@pegasus5287 yes I've seen that in my own mother. Because Levaquin was a significant factor in the suicide of my late wife, I still would not give these to my mother. Every infection should be cultured to establish the correct antibiotic. Cipro and the like should be reserved for the things they were meant for like Anthrax. They should not be available to doctors to to give out like candy.

@@pegasus5287 Sadly the YT censorship deleted my detailed reply. There are specific warnings against giving these to the elderly in the documentation.

Most reactions happen days, weeks, months, even years later and then get misdiagnosed as fibro or ALS or Parkinson's or MS or an autoimmune disorder.

RN here. Rx'ing ciprofloxacin for Clostridium difficile (C diff) is blatantly irresponsible. According to the NIH (US National Institute of Health) the most common antibiotics associated with C diff infection are piperacillin/tazobactam, meropenem, vancomycin, ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, and levofloxacin. -NIH May 15, 2023

Of course they won't admit it happens. They don't want to find themselves facing a lawsuit.

That’s why whenever I go to the doctor and it asks you if you have any allergies I put yes Cipro and all five of the fluoroquinolones do not give me even in a life or death situation I’d rather die. I had a doctor once question this and I said yeah my dad took it and It put him in a wheelchair and it killed him. Boy do they hate that answer!!!! It’s like they’re pissed off to get that answer. Why are you asking me for you’re the doctor it has blackbox warnings what the fk is the problem here people.

Also, I wanted to add my father was in the process of suing the VA and the doctor from the VA admitted that it was Cipro that put him in a wheelchair. Well, the VA removed the statement from my father‘s medical file and they fired the doctor. my dad had his medical file up on the computer screen at home and it said in there what I just said and I told him to print it off because you never know if they might take that out and he said oh no they wouldn’t do that well, they did, they took it out of his file and fired the doctor that admitted to it. The reason he didn’t print it off was because our printer wasn’t working so I told him take the camera out and take a picture of the computer screen then; and he wouldn’t do it and we got in a big argument. Well now he doesn’t have the proof does he but of course he’s dead now, so it doesn’t matter right.
