Metronidazole Lasting Side Effects (Page 14)

I have been taking this medication for 7 days and off of it since a week and still have severe side effects, abdominal cramps, severe headaches, dizziness, unsteadiness... How long is it expected to last? It was prescribed with Ciprofloxacin to me and I take Entrophen on a regular basis...

REPORT

PS-I forget-gut and stomach issues are common. Most of us have the same problems. Sometimes it feels like acid or agent orange is going through me. I get Gall Bladder flares and pancreas. I get stomach aches, nausea, and const. often. I take natural things but do not help much. I remember just closing my eyes for the first two years and resting the pain. Tried to use mind over matter. it works a bit from time to time. Meditation does not fully take it away for me either. Stress will happen when you try to do things and physical therapy is NOT the answer. Many drs. tell people Floxed to do this, and ALL I know that tried it, got worse. It needs to be done when healed, not when going through this. Just so you know...all what you are going through is sadly normal for Floxing..sad word for us...NORMAL. I know you hurt, sad, cry, and should scream at times. It hurts. I am sorry. You are not crazy...you are floxed. PROMISE. This does not mean you will not get better. You do not yet know. I pray you will. If anyone thinks you should do more or are acting like it is worse than it is...you show them what I wrote...they have no clue. I can send you posts from drs. that are like us and they are in a LOT of pain. My heart goes out to you...Let me know what you try and how you make out in case I have done these things or others. Always good to hear from others....Melinda

Awww, thanks Dawn, for thinking of me. I still have flares of PN (nerve pain and symptoms) but am not as bad as I was. My balance isn't where it was before the meds either. I've gone to a Naturopathic Dr. who did a treatment for PN. I had 4 done before Christmas and plan on having 4 more done in the months ahead. They helped a lot. Hearing from the severe effects of others on here I'm thankful I am as good as I am today. It's been nearly 2 years now. I'm glad that your son is doing better and has recovered as well as he did. I know what you mean by it taking a lot out of a person. It's a sin that these drugs are prescribed so readily.

Dear what now thank you for your reply I'm glad you're feeling better.
I would accept that this drug will help some people but I do think more help should be in place when a bad reaction does occur for then it does seem to have an effect on the bodies nervous system. What is surprising is that you can go weeks and months with seemingly no ill effects and then suddenly with no warning it can affect you again. There must be a reason why this happens thankfully in our case the severity of the symptoms have got less. We can only hope that medical scientists will find the cause and solution will

Cyrill-I know this will sound strange, but you are doing better than you know. With this condition, the pain is so severe, that just being able to get up each day and function at all is very good. I promise you this is true. When I clean, vacuum, or anything like that, the pain the next day is always worse. But at least I did it. That is the same for you..at least you do get up, you try, and you take vitamins. As you wrote, food is important, no processed food and you are doing that, too. I did two years of all sorts of vitamins and compounds and nothing made a difference for me. I had the IV vitamins and viral IVs once a week for two years, also, and that did not make me better either. It seems the only thing is to eat well and time. I do not know if I told you, but when I was young like you, maybe younger, I was not well-not nearly as bad as this, but something was wrong. My vision was off, I had numb toes and headaches, over all not well feeling. I was 24 when it started. At the time, I had a daycare at my home as I wanted to remain at home with my children as well. I worked from 6-6. It was hard when not well. I had all sorts of tests, and sent to a clinic in another state about 4 hours from me. I was there for three days and the drs. could not figure it out. I had brain MRIs. My first MRI in Sept. of 1992 was fine. Then January 1993 I had one white spot on brain. Then March 1993 3 white spots, then September 1993 6 white spots and then no more. I was tested over and over for MS and was always neg. Tested for Lyme and Neg but I was still treated for Lyme for months and then MS. I was never better but watch people around me getting better. I was scared but still kept going. After 8 years, all the symptoms went away-It was weird. They were sometimes a bit painful but always bothering me. When they were gone, and I had an MRI of the brain-all the white spots were gone. The drs. had no clue. When I had the LEvaquin April of 2009 and had the adverse reaction--and so ill and sick, that was when we all figured out what happened when I was younger. I was given Cipro in 1991 for pneumonia that I had after a brother and sister that I cared for came down with it. The children I cared for were all great but this one mom never cared for her kids well and they were often sick and she still would bring them to me. Anyway-I never knew then about the Cipro and of course the drs. did not know. SO no one ever figured it out. ALL ALONG it was symptoms from the Cipro as it started right after. If only I had known this, then I never would have taken the Levaquin almost 20 years later. That is how little I took meds. Like you, I do not like them and do not trust them. My family and I only put this all together after the adverse reaction to the levaquin and these meds are in the same family of course. Still, even after the Levaquin, it was hard for the drs. to diagnose what happened to me. At the time, I just knew I was dying and so did my husband. No one knew why. My body was shutting down in 2009. And like most of us, I wanted to die after a while it hurt so much. I have depression, like you, but push through as best I can as I know there is not a person around me that can understand the feeling inside my mind and the pain. We have no choice but to push through. I am hoping that you, like when I was young, will eventually have this all go away. THere is a really good chance it will. I read someplace that the body replenishes the cell. system fully every sever years. I have no clue if this is true as drs. write so much who really knows. BUT-it is odd that the first time this happened I was better at 8 years-I never knew what it was, as I said, until the Levaquin this time. You know, though. back in 1990s-it was even more rare as the meds. were not used as much as they are now. I wish I knew.

Is you mom with you at all times? Do you live with her or her with you? I hope so. You SHOULD NOT be alone. It is important to have someone there at all times if possible. DO you have a bathtub? if so-take detox baths--it is helpful. when you say you feel heavy-like carrying a baby--do you have weight gain or just feel heavy? We all are different with this. I, like you, hate the depression. Sometimes I wonder if my brain was not hit so hard and I had no depression, how much better would I be? that sounds the same for you. Your depression, like mine, is very difficult to treat so no meds. will work as far as I know--so no point in meds either way and glad you are not on any for it. The drs. tried me on all sorts--I was hoping to rid of the depression so I could at least be done with that...NOTHING worked. I had reactions to every class of depression med. and the drs. think that is because of the damage from the Levaquin in the brain. This is not a chemical depleted depression, it is a medically induced depression--from the Fluoroquinolones. It does damage in the brain and sometimes, years down the road, it does go away or lessen so hang on please. I understand your fear of pain meds. and if you can handle the pain and WILL NOT TAKE YOUR LIFE due to pain, it is fine. But if you get suicidal from pain...please let me know...ok. That is why I am on them and I do not fear pain meds. I never took drugs like this my whole life. And if I have to take them now to live, so be it. These drugs have been on the market for so long, the drs. know what they do and side effects. THey are not new like the Fluors. ..new being 20 years plus or minus. Those are new meds in reality. Pain meds. have been around for ages...Peace Pipes were herbals...ha ha. I do not like them at all..only because I wish I did not need them. I like life with no pain and without drugs. My pain is so bad that even with the pain meds. I still have severe pain. But I do not want to increase any medication. So I remain as I am. Cyrill--You are doing well--I know you hurt and cry and are sad. This is a very hard thing to go through. Please, hang on. I pray you will get better and hope you do. and yes, there is no one but a person that has the same pain that will ever understand what you are going through. To hurt all over does not even make sense to drs. But we all know what it is... Do you have any muscle/nerve twitches happening? Write when you can and fill me in on how you are and if you need any info or I can help--please let me know...I will do what I can...Melinda

I had taken this medication in the past for diverticulitis and never had a problem. Two weeks ago I was admitted for diverticulitis again and put on this medication. I noticed in the hospital I started getting leg cramps but figured it was from being laid up. My stomach was feeling better but I had overwhelmed fatigue, then started feeling unsteady on my feet and a feeling like my body was failing. Ended up in the ER when I started feeling really bad at work which led to an anxiety attack. The doctors never considered the Flagyl. I continued to feel worse, now getting muscle pain, my nerve endings felt like they were firing off, severe anxiety which my doctor gave me Zanax for and just literally felt depressed and wanted to just die. My head felt funny and I was lethargic. I had been on the meds for like 11 days and I stopped. My last pill was this past Saturday night. Yesterday my energy level was a bit better but was still having muscle aches, nerve issues and concentration issues plus anxiety. Today, I feel the symptoms but not as severe. I realized after I finally researched the side effects that is was this awful medicine but since I never had issues before, I just never thought it was that. I felt like I was having a nervous meltdown and I am usually a very strong woman. I will never take this God awful drug again. Unfortunately I will have to have more of my GI tract removed because of diverticular disease but I'd rather go through that then to have an infection and be treated with this stuff. So I empathize with anyone dealing with these side effects. Even typing this I start to feel anxious and my symptoms creep up on me. Ugh....I hope it goes away real quick! Good luck to all dealing with it!

Nancy-so sorry about another person having to go through so much pain and mental agony due to a medication. The side effects from the Flagyl are the same side effects that I have from Levaquin. THey are awful-so agreed. For me-they did not repair-but it was mostly, in my opinion, due to the dr.--she kept me on the meds. and told me it was something else, not the meds causing these firings and pain, and then she gave me steroids while on it which truly did me in..no steroids while on these meds. I have a very good feeling from what you are writing that you are going to be fine shortly. Already to have improvement is great as that is not the case for so many of us. The muscle and nerve twitches that are out of control and the brain feelings-I know you understand that--should go away for you as well. Because these things are calming down, and you sound like you will have a full recovery, I just want to ask you to please be careful with the anx. meds. I take them but never recovered. THey are so addictive. I try to take only what I need. I never fill the bottle every month like able--it is about every 4 months. I do suffer many days but the addiction of meds. is hard. I know from others I am on for life now due to the side effects of perip. neuropathy, tendons, joints, muscles, vision, depression, and more from this. From no meds for these symptoms ever in my life to living on them even though going off of them 3 times to see how I was....that was not easy either. I just do not want you to go through pain again. Use as you need and only if, and careful. I am sorry if this sounds all knowing-so not the case--I do not want anyone to go through some of the withdrawals I have been through...no words to describe that pain. Oddly, my best friend-since 11 years old and now we are 48--her mom is coming home today and has diber. like you. The dr. was not very informative about this and what it does and what it is...I will watch for them to NOT give her the flagyl. Thank you for this....so very much

Cyrill-You are doing so much better than you know...that probably reads crazy but it is true. So many can not do what you are doing and fighting to do. Be careful with the walking--just the footing, as the tendon in the back on the ankle is very sensitive for us even if you do not feel it. I, like you, was very healthy and active with exercising before taking these pills. Actually, the 2nd day on the pills when exercising I could not lift my body up off the floor and I was thin and was something I did every other day for years. So odd to go from being so active to hard time to breathe. For most it IS hard to breathe--it is a side effect. Shortness of breathe, tight chest, that started the first week for me. I felt like my chest was heavy. They never found anything with all the diagnostics I had done to look at the heart and lungs in the hospital. The dr. seemed to think that due to it being a muscle and these drugs attacking tendons and muscles, that might be the problem but it did not come up. Then later, a bit of COPD came up which made no sense at all for me. My chest was totally clear after many examinations and then two years later that appeared. My brain MRIs did the same thing...the MRIs were clear in the beginning of all of this pain and then last year white matter(spots) started to appear - brain damage and it is NOT Multiple Sclerosis. That was cleared many times. White spots can come from damage from drugs as well and this happened to me and many others but appears later, after a lot of suffering. I have to say that I felt my best with this condition, if you can call it MY BEST, about 2 years into having this. THen, about the 3rd year, it worsened again. I do not know why. Some get better, some same, some worsen and no reasons yet. I think you are doing better than you realize. I know you hurt and your head and thinking are a mess, but you are pushing through this and trying hard to heal and that is good. The herbals are tough. I used more compounds than herbals-things that helped with my Mitochondria, CQ10, Magnesium, things like that..I feel it would have worked if my dr. did not give me all of those steroids right after the meds. I am sure that made me so bad since NOW the inserts in the meds. read No NSAIDS or STEROIDS as can cause permanent damage, CNS, and more. I love that you have a pool. What do you mean that you have a hard time controlling, balancing in the pool? I would think it would be easier-I am curious why it is hard. I only swam a few times with this, trying to exercise, but I do not like cold or warm water-only hot. and our pool remained around 85 degrees-which is hot-but I liked 90. I am odd like that--yet I sweat all day. STRANGE. My sweating stops me from so much and no answers for this yet. It still drips off of me constantly no matter what I do--even sitting. I have to keep my hair tied back. Like you-I am tired all the time but I, also, have a hard time sleeping at night. Another odd one for me. I think it is because my pain after midnight is never as bad as the rest of the day so my brain now fights to keep awake to enjoy a bit of relief for a while. I am glad you can handle the pain so far. If it goes away, as I think your will eventually do, you will not regret that decision. I held off for a while hoping for the same. But I knew after a while that I was too suicidal...and not from depression at all at that time, the Psychiatrists saw me first to decide. after days of talking with me they all said the same, I had medically induced pain and a kind of depression from the pain not depression as many know it. The meds. worked great in the beginning but as time goes by, they do not work as well, of course, and my pain gets worse with the damage. I use to freeze when it was 70 degrees here and wear a winter coat--my whole life, since this, I sweat when it is in the 50s. so crazy. It is all crazy. I am so glad you mom is with you. I know she cannot understand how a person can have so much pain as this. If we did not have this, we would not have understood what this pain was either...I know if a person told me about their pain from this and I did not have this,,,I would have not understood the pain at all. NOW-this pain is so bad at times what I do NOT understand is how the human body can actually live with this much pain. I always think it would shut down with this much pain. STill so odd. I think of you often, and worry for you. I have been through this for over five years now. I do not know where this all will end up but for you, I just have such great hope for you...just from what you write to me. I know you do not understand that with your head feeling so awful, heavy, and feeling so out of sorts. The drs. call it Depersonalization from the medication. It is an awful feeling. ANd I do not like Drs. at all either. I avoid all of them but ONE that I trust. He is so good and nice. He reads everything I bring to him and talks to me about it. He researches this and told his entire family to never take these medications. Not many Drs. do that...He uses me as his patient to discuss as meeting to get ideas of what damage might be done and he treats my pain and brain. He is cute, too, ha ha.

I know I am due for my mammogram but have been avoiding that as I just do not trust any dr. and afraid of the pain from that now. I have had a few before as I had three small lumps removed many years ago-when young, and they were benign but still suppose to get diagnosed and I did my appointments for years. I cannot now...afraid. I am afraid of bloodwork, due for a colonoscopy and do not want to do that either. These are things that I should have done with what the meds. have damaged in my body. BUt feel like these drs. will kill me for sure at this point. NO AMERICA DOES NOT HAVE THE BEST DRS - AT ALL. WE have the drs. that just pass out the pills.
Well-this is some long email. AGAIN-hang on, and you really are doing better than you know....promise. If my brain and sweating with stop, I might be able to function more...I always feel that way. The pain is over the top, but if I would like a clear head first. BE STRONG and keep up the great work--you are doing well. The herbals--do me a favor-just look it up to make sure they do not have any fluoride or anything like that in them. You do not need to ingest that... write when you can...Mel

Melinda...what is so scary to me is that none of the doctors I saw associated my symptoms with the Flagyl. I never had problems taking it short term. Also I saw Levaquin mentioned, I was taking that along with the Flagyl. All drugs are toxic and I wondered if the pharmaceutical company changed anything in their ingredients. I just hope no one ever has a fatal reaction. I stopped taking it on Sunday and it is now Tuesday, I still have fatigue but I can say my symptoms have eased up a lot and I no longer need the Zanax. I just feel bad for anyone dealing with this, it's very frightening and being told I'm fine because my blood work was good just made me feel like I was having a nervous meltdown. If anyone starts feeling this bad, please stop taking the medicine. I'm healing quickly but other blogs indicate some have had to deal with it for months and that is just crazy. Wishing everyone the best on here and speedy recovery!

Cyrill-I am not sure what you have with your nose. Do not be afraid. YOU have the power of the knowing now. You would NEVER take something now without looking it up on the computer. We are not who we were-we would never trust enough again to just take something. YOU will be FINE. Several months ago I was in had to call the ambulance to get me to the hospital as I could not stop vomiting. I thought it was a bug until I could not stop at all and barely breathe-I ended up having a bowel blockage-things I never would have had before all of this-just like you. I was in the hospital for three days as the blockage had to resolve or surgery-one or the other. The blockage did go away with a fluid diet which I have a lot at home anyway so it was weird. Anyway-while in the emergency room, I found out I had a fever of 101 degrees-not sure what that is in your cel. measurements. and I had an infection in my blood as my white count was off. I did not even know it. When we have so much going on it is hard to know if something like that is happening. I did not get a FQ or Flagyl-I told them NO-they gave me a different antibiotic and I asked for the spelling, looked it up with husband, and it was safe..well-nothing is safe-not even Ibuprofen, but it is safe for most and safer than what we had...If I did not take that chance on this antibiotic-which was at least a REAL antibiotic-I would have been very bad. I had it IV -I was so ill. And in three days I came home and was fine-no more meds were taken as I had the IV antibiotics. I was scared-just like you are now. Cyrill-You are now suffering but smarter than the average person on meds. Do NOT worry. You will figure this out..promise. I understand the fear-we all have this fear now. But we also cannot allow ourselves to get things that will make us worse than we are so always research the meds. If it ends up something you do not want, call back and tell them you need something else. THey will give you something else. THey should just give you a NORMAL antibiotic if needed-like a penicillin or augmentum or something.
The nose spot that is red-is it from the inside to the outside? where the inside is very sore? or mostly outside--I have to ask as some women have more body hair than others which is not a big deal-normal-really-did you pull a piece of hair out of nose with a twizzer? Asking as that can cause a severe infection. I told my daughter that is someday she ever gets a hair in her nose that she does not like to never pull it out...the discharge in the nose will infect the area the hair was pulled from. It is always a little scissor cut. I am probably way off base-but checking. You could have a simple infection in you nose and need a med. for it or even a cream on a Q-tip. You must go and find out...I do want to know what you have and what the answer was...please let me know. Do not be scared...please...you are NOT that same girl who once took meds. that we trusted the dr. with...none of us trust now. So we will double check EVERYTHING a dr. tells us always. ANd you will. And if you cannot-you ask me and I will look it up. If you have been on it already-which chances are you are taking it...how do you feel? At some point, we have to go to drs. and just not trust them but not say that...just be aware and vigilant. |Never take a drug in the office and never get a drug at a hospital without finding out what the heck you are taking. WOuld you let me know. Do you have a phone? If you do-what kind of service do you have? I have service that I can call all over the US and Puerto Rico for free but probably not where you are...but I would have to call and ask my provider. I think at some point, we should talk and if you want to I will contact the provider of this site and ask what can be done--or at least email. This is hard to use this for you. I am sure. You let me know...do you want me to contact this provider and see if there is a way to get my email to you? I would guess there is a way just not in these posts we all do. STay calm-it will flare everything up for you. My guess is you just have an infection of some sort and you will be fine...I really feel that way...My oldest daughter once had a boil INside her right nostril and it was so painful it flared up the nose on that side and made the outside of the nostril swollen and red. It looked very painful for her. I remember when I took her to Dr. they gave her a cream and an antibiotic but it was safe...not a FQ. Let me know what you have and what the dr/clinic said to do, I want to know you are alright. DO not go alone--if your mom can go to any appt. you have, that is always best, I know you now what I write you already, but it always helps to hear what you think is the same as what another thinks. YOU WILL BE FINE>....REALLY--HAVE FAITH IN YOU.

Cyrill-Please let me know how you are doing after going to the clinic-I hope you get this message--
levaquinhurtme.weebly.com/my-story.html

This is a story I have printed and always bring to a new Dr. appt. so these Drs. that are clueless, and there are sadly more than less, start to look into this seriously. I, also, bring FDA printouts and studies, but the personal story of this Dr. is helpful. I am sure you will have to copy and paste it to the web. Please either copy it or copy and paste it and read when you can. Hope you are alright.

Also, I contacted someone about you being allowed to contact my email if needed and if you do want to get my personal email, I am able to do that-if is just permission on both sides. If you want to contact me without posting on here and using space...let me know. I do not want to interfere with your illness, I know what you are going though, of course, but I do not want you to feel alone in this either. I feel like you are in a location that you are in a minority of cases more than other locations like the United States. I am sure you get looked at like you are crazy and you are NOT by any means. This hits the body and brain as you know. You let ME know if you want my contact so if you need to reach out at very hard times you can...Melinda

Cyrill-Yes, we are very similar in symptoms. So many that are Floxed are..I have a purple T-shirt that lists the medications and how deadly and disabling they are...for some reason, the last several weeks have taken a new direction. The pain is crazy, severe. My lower arms from elbow down, hands, so much pain and my thighs are burning and in pain. My calves ache and burn and my chins -the bone from knee down hurts-my ankles, of course, hurt and my hands and feet are unreal. The pain has been over the top and no clue why it has increased so much so fast again. It is like a Merry-Go-Round. When you write hospital, I have wanted for years to just be placed in the hospital for a good week or two and have ALL tests done. Even my regular ones-mammogram, colon, etc. When this ill, it is too difficult to go to all these other appts. and things fall greatly behind. But I am just too sick to even go to these appts. anymore after 5 years. I totally understand the need for the tests. There are 3 specific blood tests that show the damage from the medications. One is a fragmented Cellular test and I forget the other two. I know a few people that are in better shape than me that had these tests done. The cells were shown as fragmented. I will have to get the names of these for you. The normal blood labs. do these tests and drs. do not ever request them. Ridiculous.

The ozone therapy is different for all. It may work for you. Have you done the Glut. IVs yet? I do feel that those should be done first. I do know several people in their 20s that did the IVs and thought they were not getting better but kept with it. The three actually got better and went back to work--after feeling like one 25 yr. old was dying, he is a year later, after much pain, he is pain free and fine. I pushed so hard for him to do the Glut IVs and he borrowed the money from his dad. He took many months but worth it.

The Ozone is done 2 ways. One is where they place the oxygen in the saline and enter it into your system. The other is a removal of blood from you into a bag, they mix it with the oxygen and then re-enter it in the body. I was NOT healthy enough for the blood type and a bit too scared either way. It is not a sure science and I wanted to make sure I did not do something to make more pain yet as I cannot take what I have...so if you do the Ozone-please look into it, and start slow. Do not jump to the max. without trying the regular first, please :)

I received permission for you to contact me if you would like to...I realize we take up a bit of the board at times. Do you want my email? if not, I understand. I only want to offer it if you would like to have it for those times you feel you need support from someone that understands the pain you have inside your body and head. You are in an area that is difficult-as you said...although you mentioned going back to the Province area--where is that exactly from where you are now?

Let me know how you are-sorry it took me a bit to see if you wrote on here. Sometimes I do not know unless I check my mail carefully with these responding arrows. it is hard to see replies at times. How is your mom handling what it going on with you? Is she understanding or viewing like you need to push yourself more and not understanding that this condition is so UNREAL--the more you do the worse you can be in pain at most times. That makes so little sense. Well-keep strong and let me know if you want to get my email. I will tell you how to go about it. easy to do-we just both get permission and then do not have to write on here. Melinda
