Gee, I made a post to this thread and it is not here!

Must have lost it looking up the links.

Trying again...

Dr. Jay Cohen has had some experience with Cipro side effects, and he has some suggestions on his site.
One is Glutathione IV that a patient did. If you want to try and increase glutathione orally, NAC (n-acetyl cysteine) can help raise this. Start at 600mg a day, and perhaps increase as you see fit.

Here is his link:

I don't think there is an answer yet to the tendon issue, as the mechanism of how it happens, is not well understood.
There are supplements for tendons...if you google that you'll find some suggestions. Many include magnesium and some form of silica (horsetail extract).

I would also find out your B12 exact numbers, and "fine" is often really low, and not "fine" according to our outdated lab ranges. You should have at least 400, and preferably above that.
Bell's is typically viral I believe. Some people get it from the nasal spray form of flu vaccine. It can also be autoimmune triggered.
