The ER doc was surprized that I had a fever and elevated WBC while on 1000mg of Cipro per day. This happen to anyone else????


Have a fabulous day!

I have come to believe if the doctors look hard enough, they will find something wrong somewhere!

Obviously, the Cipro is not doing what it needs to.

Yes, it has happened to me as well, in my pre-surgery days after my third time on Cipro: I was in Honduras and met Montezuma up close and personally. The theory was that I had somehow developed a resistance to the Cipro and it pretty much didn't work on infections in me. Another antibiotic took care of the issue with no problems.

I recently read an article (I can't remember where, sorry) which mentioned that this (resistance to Cipro) happens more often than we think. Something to do with over-prescription of antibiotics in general and Cipro in specific for diarrhea which is not necessarily bacterially caused.

TMI probably...
