Well I ended up back at the ER I think 5 more tomes before all was said and done. And as pissed as I am at some of those docs for not knowing what most of the Nurses would tell me. I am however better for about 6 weeks I believe there wasn't even an infection. It was Cipro I swear ed the stuff was going to kill me. This is a great Warning, that stuff was slowly killing me for nearly 10 weeks. It was raising my Heart Rate, my blood pressure and wasn't allowing me to absorb any nutrients I believe. Can you believe it rejected B-comlpex and Cranberry Juice oh and Calcium. It was crazy it got to the point were it lowered my body temp. Every time I toke it to like 96 and for me made me very ill. It cleaned my gut out totally were I couldn't eat. The last pill I toke was 2 days ago and it was making me foggy and I would get these massive Hot Flashes and then I would have no energy and I mean NONE. Couldn't get my head off the couch, I couldn't talk or barely breathe. It was giving me massive Panic Attacks or acute anxiety. And weird funny pains in heart and head. It was scary the sc3iest place I have ever been. I thought I was going to die. So we got the lab results there was no infection for weeks the only one I had was back on May 7th. All along as I thought I was dying from this horrible infection it was the Cipro and not one doctor could look at me and read Prolonged use of Cipro and see how it can cause everyone of those side effects that's the part that is the scariest doc after doc would say you don't have an infection. But not one said get off of it its killing you. Unbelievable!! They acted like I was a Antibiotic junkie just coming in wanted this drug when all I wanted was to feel better and get off of it. Over and over I asked my Primary Care if I stopped it and of course without listening to my story they kept saying take the full course. well I've been off of it for 2 and half days and I feel great. I've been taking Probidoics for my poor gut, and eating Yogurt and taking Garlic as well. I will add more Natural things as my body can handle cuz I can tell its still got some healing to do.
So now that Nightmare is over all I have to do is figure out what to do about this heart rate if its truly thyroid or what. Going to see my Cardio. Doc today hopefully he'll have some insight on this next step and then I'm done. Just have to make some serious lifestyle changes.
