		<description>Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is excellent blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.</description>

		<description>I do trust all of the ideas you&#039;ve introduced on your post. They&#039;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.</description>

		<description>I am 43 year old male that took CIPRO for possible urethritis and I am experiencing severe bilateral Achilles tendinitis. I had known about possible tendonities and rupture, but I didn&#039;t know it was going to be a cause for a syndrome, rather than a specific side effect. The more I read about what this family of medications have caused, the more I worry I may become incapacited to enjoy physical activities with my children. I am day 4 since the severe pains began, and I am afraid of what I will be experiencing based on what was reported above and in other websites. The success stories are giving me hope, for those who have suffered or are suffering, I don&#039;t know how I can help besides raising my voice and supporting you; you have been poisoned and its not in your head but it is in the CIPRO or Levoquin that you took. Shame on the FDA for continuing to mislead innocent patients by allowing Bayer or other companies to lighten the true  life altering side effects of these medications by giving us false &quot;rare&quot; warnings, and providing us telescopic side effects warnings, when in fact these medications appear to cause a syndrome of side effects that last months to years!</description>

		<description>I have taken levaquin for a few resons. I now have tears in both rotator cuffs. I am in a lot of pain on a daily basis. I am going to see a surgan in the next few days. I feel there is no help for the people who have been hurt by this drug. There is only help for the people with rupture in the heel.</description>

		<description>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&#039;t sleep well, metallic taste in mouth still. I am NEVER taking another antibiotic, unless I&#039;m convinced that if I don&#039;t I will die. I don&#039;t trust doctors, who are basically pushers of the big pharma (who use us as guinea pigs). Very maddening!</description>

		<description>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&#039;s post on a biology website.  I am interested in this naturally as a dietitian, but haven&#039;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:
&quot;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.&quot;

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?</description>
