Hi guys,
so long story short, last month i took cipro for a suspected UTI, the UTI went away, but after 7 days of taking the course of Cipro I started to get a lot of body aches, which I thought was just small reaction to the antibiotics, nothing major. A few days later I started getting most of the worst symptons associated with ciprofloxacin toxicity. I started to limp as I walked, my knees feel weak and feel like they can collapse at any moment, I have joint pain everywhere, ankles, achilles tendons, knees, lower back, mid back, upper back, along shoulders and neck, i'm also suffering from peripheral nerve damage and getting tingling especially on my head, i'm having vision disturbances and seeing more floaters. Now the reason why i'm concerned I might have the start of ALS is because of two main reasons, 1. I noticed that I am seeing signs of muscular dystrophy, along my neck, arms, and legs, and 2. I have this strange throat sensation, it's not exactly a sore throat but feels similar to it, also I have been getting throat spasms. I have no idea if there is any connection between ALS and Ciprofloxacion, but I read that Cipro can wreak havoc on the Central Nervous System, and cause the Mitochondria to die. And that's what worries me that will lead to having ALS. I just hope to god i'm wrong and all these horrible symptoms will go away, but it's been more than a month and nothing has gone away.
