I just remembered that I read another article a few months ago about the serious problems with the antibiotics called flouroquinolones (which includes Cipro). I'm not saying this is your problem but your doctor is wrong to suggest the Cipro could never cause a problem. The drug has a black box warning.

So keep an open mind. Then again your symptoms could be MS related or anxiety or a host of other things. But Cipro isn't totally out of the realm of possibility.

I was shocked to realize that these antibiotics can also raise one's risk of retinal detachment by 5x! I already knew about tendon ruptures. There have been lawsuits. Note the story of Lloyd Bach in this article and his tingling, joint problems, fatigue etc.

I hope you are feeling better soon Sunflower. Show your doc the article.

One expert said it could take a year to resolve so there is hope if it is indeed the Cipro.
