Hi.

This is so much more than torn ligaments and archillies. This is the breakdown of muscles - the wasting of bodies. I've been wasting away for around 20 months. I'm in the uk and was given Ciprofloxacin to go home with after a seven day admission to hospital for food poisoning and kidney infection. My life has been hell ever since - it's affected me psychologically, neurologically (not been able to eat hardly for 20 months and spent most of the 20 months at 7st. I'm now 7st 3 and cannot gain weight. My muscles are melting away (I did ballet for 20 years, weight training, yoga, kick boxing) my vision is deteriorating, I'm getting pain and weakness now in knees, ankles, and have chronic neck pain. I have waves of nausea everyday and tachycardia which has resulted in my dad getting an ambulance in 2023, I have abnormal heart rhythm, and severe anxiety. All this time I have run my two medical clinics whilst trying to put on a front (but still looking like a skeleton) and nearly collapsing because I need the money. It causes a huge overdrive of metabolism because of mitochondria damage, with the most frequent symptom of muscle wasting. This is happening to most floxxwd people. THATS why it causes torn ligaments etc - yet in the medical literature, they never mention severe muscle wasting and severe weight loss. I have hyperbolic ED too - I should never have been given it! It was a three day course. One tablet can damage you. My grandad (who is not alive now) took one Cipro pill. My grandma, upon hearing us talking about what Cipro has done to me, told us that my grandad was given them - he took one and went bright red with a rash all over his body from head to toe and a doctor had to rush round to give him an antidote. The day after my grandma broke her hip and spent two weeks in hospital. When she returned she was shocked to see that he had alot of muscle wasting and weight loss and he was never the same after that. He had COPD mild at that point. After the Cipro, his breathing went worse, and health in general.
I'm suffering headaches and eye pain right now and have only found out last week about the Cipro/fluoroquinalones toxicity. All my doctors can't help me. They think I have ARFID - and so did I...until I found out about Cipro. I have now booked an appointment with another doctor and will be taking my evidence with me. They have neglected me for 20 months - why did they not think it may be a medication I was given after I left hospital-it isn't rocket science to check, is it! None of them know about Fluoroquinalones and hospitals and GP's are giving this horrific class of antibiotics to anyone and ignoring the black box warnings. I'm devastated...I'm exhausted, breathless, in pain, wasting away...we are being left to die. I have to force huel shakes in all day and bread, and potato's, and crisps just to keep some weight on but it's coming off constantly. There is an intense hunger feeling, it's awful. It's causing hypermetabolism. How do I get my doctors here in the UK to believe me and take me seriously. My doctors are Kenmore medical practice in Wilmslow, Cheshire, UK - if you could send them some info on Cipro and the damage they cause, it would be most appreciated. 🙏x😢
