First off, my heart and prayers go out to anyone diagnosed with or anyone with a loved one diagnosed with ALS. I lost my brother to what seemed to be ALS in 2012. My brother was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy in 2003 after being prescribed Ciprofloxacin for infections on a couple occasions prior to this. He was later diagnosed with ALS by the Mayo Clinic almost 5 to 6 years later. Crazy thing is his neurologist never diagnosed him with ALS because he couldn't confirm it. I have a question for anyone here who may have input. The FDA released a warning last year stating Ciprofloxacin can cause permanent nerve damage. Has anyone here ever taken Ciprofloxacin or known anyone who's taken Ciprofloxacin that later came down with peripheral neuropathy or ALS?
