I do trust all of the ideas you’ve introduced on your post. They’re really convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for newbies. May you please lengthen them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.

Has anyone tried to sue the manufacturer of Flagyl? This is ridiculous. I took Flagyl over a month ago and my stomach is still upset, I don’t sleep well, metallic taste in mouth still. I am NEVER taking another antibiotic, unless I’m convinced that if I don’t I will die. I don’t trust doctors, who are basically pushers of the big pharma (who use us as guinea pigs). Very maddening!

Update: As I stated before…I have had blood tests done for lyme disease. They were negative, as was the myastenias gravis (?sp) panel. I am fairly confident it was the flagyl (metronidazole) — the timing was just to perfect and the onset so quick. comparisons on MRIs done 7 wks apart show no new lesions. I am feeling slightly better and drove for the first time since my reaction 11 wks ago, but some symptoms persist. I agree with the comment of staying as stress free as possible. TRY not to over dwell on your health problems and I promise you will feel better, not whole but better. I am hoping time will bring me increased resolution.

I copied and pasted this from Leslie’s post on a biology website. I am interested in this naturally as a dietitian, but haven’t had a chance to research it myself. I am reposting but it seems to fit what is going on in my body and in case it is of worth to any of you:
Lesly says:
“I now know some classes of antibiotics affect bacterial cell physiology. Their mechanism of action at the cellular level is to selectively bind certain ions creating intra- and extracellular biochemical disturbances. The ions bound vary with different members of this class of drug, with salinomycin preferentially binding potassium. This interferes with potassium transport across mitchondrial membranes, resulting in low intracellular energy production. The Na+/Ca2+ exchange mechanism may also be disrupted allowing a fatal accumulation of intracellular calcium.1 This mechanism particularly affects skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle. This can affect the function of acetylcholine , a neurostransmitter which has actions on CNS (nerve) and heart tissue.

Acetylcholine has functions both in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and in the central nervous system (CNS) as a neuromodulator.

In the PNS, acetylcholine activates muscles, and is a major neurotransmitter in the autonomic nervous system.

In the CNS, acetylcholine and the associated neurons form a neurotransmitter system, the cholinergic system, which tends to cause excitatory actions.”

If anyone knows more about this I would be interested in knowing. The part about calcium build up bothers me, b/c I have been taking calcium supplements off and on to aleviate the cramping in my legs and restless leg syndrome associate with this ongoing problem. That may not be a good idea.. ? potassium supplementation? magnesium? any ideas?

Wow. I really thought I was going crazy! Everything that everyone is saying here is exactly what I am going through after 2 rounds of Flagyl a few weeks ago. Why isn’t something being done about this? I worry about the brain lesions as I do have the fatigue and muscle weakness and dizziness but I also can tell that I am having a lot of trouble focusing. I am not motivated at all anymore and just want to stay in bed. You have to understand that I am a very fit person, I go to the gym every day. Well I DID before this. Now I am so weak I can’t get through a work out. To put it in perspective, three weeks ago I could do 45 minutes on the step mill, now I can’t even do two!!! I am very discouraged and depressed. I sure hope this will pass in time.

I hope you are ok. After a long ordeal with lyme disease and listening to your symptoms etc. could I suggest that you research lyme disease in correlation with your symptoms. Also, having almost died from this and understanding almost completely the hell you are living rife (also to be googled …specifically bryan rosner and doug coil) are the only things that have restored a functional life to me. Hope that helps you. It saved my own life. lyme disease and rife machines…best to you.

PS i don’t think its the abx just a bacterial/immune reaction to them
