14. DO NOT TAKE CIPRO!!!

That stuff will ruin your life.

It causes tendonitis in every tendon in your body. Among the things that may happen is that your Achilles heel can pop even after you stop taking it. It also causes 'fuzzy feet' which is when you lose most of the sensation on the soles of your feet making you feel you're walking on sponges where you can't feel the ground.

I'm speaking from experience. I've had painful tendonitis for almost three years now because my doctor gave it to me when I almost died from a Urinary Tract Infection. And I'm lucky that I haven't ended up in a wheelchair like others have.

I know you probably don't believe me but at least look it up on the internet. Look up 'cipro' or 'floxed' which is part of the name of cipro. Look up fuzzy feet cause by cipro.

Omigod, all my best vibes for you, my dear mrmpa! CaliforniaPeggy Dec 2016 #1
