Beware - Ciproflacacin antibiotics can cause permanent damage
In 2017, I took Cipro for just five days to treat a simple UTI. Since then, my quality of life has been steadily deteriorating. Over the past seven years, my condition has worsened to the point where I can barely walk, and I will soon need a wheelchair.
I have tried countless supplements, therapies, and remedies, including LDN, major dietary changes (eliminating sugar, wheat, dairy products, processed foods, bakery items, and vegetable seed oils), and intermittent fasting for extended periods. Despite all these efforts, I have found no relief.
The best way to describe my current condition is that the soles of my feet are completely numb, with a constant sensation of poor blood circulation, tingling, and severe pain. The deterioration has been progressive, and my feet have lost muscle mass. The soles now have an extremely thin layer of skin, making every step excruciatingly painful and highly sensitive to touch.
When I attempt to walk, even for a few steps, it feels as if I am walking directly on my bones, with no protective cushioning underneath. At this point, I can barely manage to walk from my bed to the bathroom.

I took CIPRO. I was a dance teacher. Within 3 weeks, I could barely walk, scooting my left foot forward and dragging my right. The pain was excruciating. I bit the bullet and flew cross country to Los Angeles (with help of a wheelchair) to visit Dr. Ghalili (who himself suffered the adverse effects). Within 4 days of IV detox I was walking again. Two weeks later after completing detox, I was able to return to my life. I am dancing again ☺️

1 ReactionAn addendum in case you do not get better—I also waited for the CIPRO adverse effects to go away, 6 months with no improvement at all. I had been an admin and graphic artist for 12 years—had to quit my job as well. It was worth every penny (though not covered by my insurance) to be treated by Regenerative Medicine LA, Dr. Ghalili, with no side effects from the treatment. Hope you find healing 🙏

Try Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Pharmacy or Trump RX. I’ve heard many people are getting medicine that they need at a much more reduced cost. My husband is now receiving a heart medicine for much less than it would cost at Walgreens or CVS. Call the manufacturer of the medicine that you need or look online and see if they have a program that allows you to get these medicines at a reduced cost based on your earnings. That is kind of my ritual that I go through for my husband‘s medicines as he is on many. Wish you the best.
Don’t know if you thought of this, but maybe some type of collagen injections added so that could give you a buffer of padding at the soles of your feet? Might not last long but i’ve heard several people that have done it to get relief in many cases last lasted several months.
