I often wonder if the antibiotics were the cause? I have no way of knowing, but I do know that those medications saved my life during the attacks. If they were the cause of the PN, I suppose it's the price I had to pay...
There are many issues we'll never know about if we hadn't done this or that...I am forever wondering if I had not had a hip replacement how would I be today...I often regret this surgery, but it must have been bad to do it. I live with a lot of damage 7 yrs out. I was doing good 5 months out but all went downhill.

Cipro and company have pretty bad reputations. Feel better and keep healthy on your own as much as you can...it's the way to go.
