Hi all,
I haven't posted here for some time but I've hit a bit of a wall and wanted some advice / thoughts.
I was put on Ciprofloxacin for a suspected prostate and testicular infection last Tuesday, I had some horrible side effects (severe anxiety, tiredness, leg muscle pain) after trying to persevere I went to the hospital and was given some new antibiotics (Nitrofurantoin).
Since then i've had all sorts of problems from the Cipro and possibly the new antibiotic as well.
I've read so many horror stories about Cipro and I've got myself into a state that I'm going to become really ill and for a long time (I already feel terrible after just four doses) and the other antibiotics are giving me awful headaches and problems with sleeping.
I'm definitely in an anxious state and also felt a possible enlarged lymph node in my neck which really freaked me out, even though it's something i've never checked for before. It feels like it's hurting now, but that might be because i've been prodding it.
So now i'm worrying about all sorts of problems that might be wrong with me.
Any thoughts on how to distract, or has anyone dealt with the above issues at all?
Sorry for the rambly post.
Chris
