1:25 middle of the screen, is that a football ball? i'm too blind for this...
Aaaaaahhhhhh you beat me
You have good eyes
Where do you go for your eye check?
Edit: this is your first comment to
Good job
Mannnnnnn I found It to
I did it first
Scariest thing about this video is the fact that doctors let this man leave their office to drive home when he couldn't move his legs and arms fully
I thought the same exact thing!!
Scariest thing is that the doctor dismissed the antibiotic as the culprit, because they’re trained to prescribe medicine
Yeah they probably should t have done that 😅
The scariest thing is that Cipro is/was still being prescribed despite the existence of these catastrophic side effects.
Exactly
Using your platform to blow the whistle on this drug in particular, and also inadvertently warn people to google any drugs before they take them, is a boss move. Hats off to you, sir.
Have to wonder if he'll end up with a youtube disclaimer on his video.
I appreciate it very much.
It's extremely important....
I used it once and got thrush from it.
Akathesia is the worst type of side effect for mental illness. It feels like your in hell being tortured and u can’t sleep for months or years. with never ending pain with no rest till people end up killing themselves. And barley anyone knows about it but it happens to 60%
I don’t understand how people find the hidden Easter eggs in these-I get so into the stories that I never even think to look for them!
Same here
Same lol
Big facts
Exactly! Lol
Same, girl... Same. But I also don't really wanna look. I wanna pay complete attention to the story.
I'm in medical school and have been taught multiple times the severe adverse effects of the fluoroquinolone drug class, and tendon rupture is always highly emphasized. My instructors have even gone as far to say to not prescribe drugs from this class if you can help it, since these effects are so severe. There are also so many other antibiotics that exist and do not carry these same adverse effects. So I am baffled and frustrated that the podiatrist did not believe that these classic signs of tendon rupture was not associated with recent Ciprofloxacin use. While I was watching the video and hearing the progressive tendon rupturing, I was just waiting for Mr. Ballen to mention a fluoroquinolone as the culprit.
I mean… podiatry school ain’t exactly the crème of the crop of intelligence.
I was an FNP in years past and I learned about this too. My main problem is not that the podiatrist didn’t have this potential side effect memorized, if he wasn’t prescribing the drug, but that he dismissed the idea that the drug was causing the rapidly progressing symptoms when the patient himself knew enough to bring it up. Awful!
More surprised that the Rheumatologist missed it tbh. Specialized medicine can be a blessing, but their perspective can also get tunnel vision regarding their area of expertise
Thalidomide, the drug that was prescribed for morning sickness and caused birth defects, is used to treat leprosy now.
@@SethstratPodiatry is a specialty, it’s not a school.
"now all he looks forward to is death" one of the darkest and saddest sentences I've ever heard :(
That's all I looked forward to after taking a flouroquinilone. I just laid there like a mummy day ater day crying and praying for a fire or lightning to consume me. It gave me happiness and relief to imagine my own body being crushed to death.
@@fefemcgee3757 I'm so sorry you had to go through that experience. Really hope you're feeling better now
I literally was like 'jesus Ballen that's a hell of a way to end a video!'
I fight the condition. The war on opiods has left the pain relief it the hands of elite individuals and destroyed lives of people deemed to not matter. I have a missing kids foundation, just trademarked megtank and I operate in the small corner the pain gives me.
Same so sad 😞
The most unbelievable part of this story was how quick he got seen by a Rheumatologist
Lmao I was thinking the same exact thing!
💯
No joke!
It’s possible, just didn’t say if the doctor was good or not.
Yup
The fact that the words "emergency room" never entered the story is baffling.
Was thinking the exact same thing.
I've noticed most people these days rely on the internet and their phone, and just never think about calling either the cops or the ambulance, but they WILL post it on fb or yt...
I know that medical debt scares the hell out of me. if the patient lives in the US, it's possible the financial weight of going to the emergency room on top of the specialists he had appointments with was just as scary to him as his symptoms.. sadly my family has never been insured and my father let his multiple sclerosis get very bad before he went in. not making excuses for anyone, I just know it's not so black and white.
What Jwalker said
Seriously. My hand comes apart? I'm friggin' going to the friggin' ER.
My message from being personally wronged by a doctor: NEVER BE AFRAID TO GET A SECOND OPINION FROM ANOTHER DOCTOR OFFICE and NEVER BE TO SCARED TO SPEAK UP TO YOUR DOCTOR if you feel your not being treated properly
Yup, my mom always said u need your own advocate. Especially when it comes to your health. Because you know your body best.
you're
@norcalgirl9247 Sounds like you have a smart mom.🙏❤
@@blacktornado5212You are, what.
You're= you are.
you@@norcalgirl9247
My girlfriend dealt with a bizarre tendon rupture from bumping into a door frame and had to get surgery to repair it. About a year later we saw this video and the pieces all came together for us. A couple months later she got sick and the doctor tried to put her on that same medicine. We opted for a less extreme medicine and she healed up fine. Thank you for posting this video so that we could better take care of someone I love.
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1yeah ok…
thank you, keep it up@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1
This doesnt make sense
And tendon rupture is not even listed in the side-effects, only pain. How is one supposed to not become paranoid about medicines when they intentionally make them look safer thab they are. . .
@@matejblaha4659Mr B Allen said in the video that tendon rupture was a side effect not tendon pain
This is so scary. I was also prescribed cipro. When I read the side effects I was told "oh, that's a totally rare side effect. It won't happen to you." I still refused to take. Thank goodness I went with my gut feeling.
OMG!
Doctors also made me feel like it was almost impossible to happen to me. I took the drug and I guess I never really experienced the side effects, but now that I know how badly it can destroy your body, I will never take it in the future.
I hate when they say it's rare and look at you like you're an idiot for refusing them...like I'm not willing to gamble my life over it and why are you so comfortable for putting me at any risk
@@samanthag8786fine gamble your life with refusing care then
My god. You dodged a missile
After researching Cipro, it's actually frightening that such an antibiotic exists, I feel sorry for the people who have to suffer from its nasty side effects
I've taken Ciprofloxacin for a nasty post operative infection and like Alex, had I began to suffer from the symptoms he had I too wouldn't have known why this was happening. I'm very glad that I am one of those people who came away unscathed, but I pity Alex and all the "floxed" individuals enormously. But the cautionary tale here is that ALL medications have the capacity to do harm and NOBODY should take a medication if they haven't been informed of the potential for both short and long term harm. Tens of thousands of people in the US every single year die directly as a result of the medication they took!
I'm shocked they are still legal. In fact it's in the past two years it seems from a quick search that doctors are just beginning (?!?!?) to question the drug.
@@wayfaring_stranger_ maybe its time to start reading the small print, this isn't the only drug with severe side effects.
It’s unfortunate but we are running out of effective antibiotics. Bacteria are living therefore continue to evolve and build resistances faster than we can crank out new types of antibiotics.
@Ryan Deslauriers WHO?
I’m a home health provider and my last client died from Cipro toxicity after a 3 year battle. She was in agony 24/7 and didn’t sleep for that whole time. Thank you for shedding light on this. It’s not rare like they claim. It just goes u reported because most effected people are just misdiagnosed
Cipro side effects can be absolutely horrendous
This is disheartening, because my elderly mother gets uti’s very frequently, and ther Rx her Cipro… now I’m going to be paranoid. 😢. ..
I’m sorry for the loss of your patient. Home healthcare is so important…. We’ve used home health a lot.
Sending you a hug for providing some help to those that need it. 😊
I took those pills a few days ago for about a week
"Misdiagnosed." That's what doctors do when they realize THEY caused the problem, or that they could have fixed it, but didn't do their job. They diagnose it as something else, so when the patient dies, or some other horrible thing happens, like they become paralyzed, the doctor doesn't get in trouble, and by extension, the hospital he works at. My mom was on her way out 4 years ago. Needed to go to the hospital several times. They kept claiming she was basically fine, until her health had gotten so bad, they couldn't just ignore it anymore, and finally ran some more costly tests, that they originally didn't want to, and discovered she was definitely dying, and they maybe could have prevented it, or slowed it down, had they cared to run more tests sooner. When she did finally die, we got her death certificate, which said she'd died from, "complications of Covid." Despite the doctors testing her for that every time she was there, and the results always being negative. They knew they messed up, and were trying to cover their asses. The hospital in my town is notorious for screwing up big time. A lot of people here go out of town for medical treatment. "Doctors" here can't even say the names of stuff they're prescribing, and if the answer isn't easy to find, they don't really want to look for it.
You really did this issue justice. As someone who has also been "floxed" and spent 6 months in a wheelchair because of it, please know your coverage is sincerely appreciated.
oh gosh im so sorry that happened to you! how did it feel? :/
How is this company still operating? Why didn't people sue the heck out of it?
I'm highly allergic to Cipro! Wasn't allergic to it for literally decades and then the last dosage I took, 15yrs ago, changed everything..I found that out when I started taking it and had the worse migraine I've ever had! I have cluster migraines (been to specialist's) so I know how to rate them, and this headache was the worst I've ever had..I immediately went to the doctor..come to find out I was having vascular spasms in my head from, you guessed it, Cipro..why all of a sudden I was allergic to it, I have no idea..I was fine taking it for decades and then out of nowhere it turned on me..I'm telling people this now because Mr Ballen presented the opportunity, and I'm *VERY* grateful for that!! Peace, love and blessings ✌️
So sorry that happened to you. If this crap is still available that should change
@@nvmffs You can't always sue them, they are covered under the law, but others can take forever to take to court. They always cover their behinds...
Man. If my tendons start aching like mad and my fingers progressively lock up, I'm calling the whole damn world to rescue me 😤
Right? Like shit man i wouldn't be going to bed as though it's just a headache, I'd be terrified that I'm dying lmao
The guy got nerves of steel
Lol. Yup same.

Me thinking Alex was on his way to the kitchen to grab a phone to call 911 and instead he googled his symptoms 🙁

@@amandadonegan2137 what?
That's average person these days 🤷🏾♂️
@@amandadonegan2137 😂😂😂 me either
Just had a recent experience with this medication.. 3 urgent care visits, 2 ER Visits, 3 Drs appointments and NONE of them realized my MASSIVE swelling, tendon pain, locked joints, cramping and inability to walk was due to the medication I was taking.. for a suspected inflamed spider bite.
I remembered this story and it is safe to say that this Mr Ballen video saved my life.
If you remembered this video why would take the drug?
@@aligindahouse7777right like 😭
@@aligindahouse7777 They probably forgot about it at the time the medication was prescribed to them. I don't think they would knowingly take it if they knew or had alternative options for treatment.
@@aligindahouse7777🤔 Im curious and would definitely avoid but maybe its not one of the most common side effects. You know how medicines say serious side effects happen to 1 in 1000 or something. I m assuming they take hoping it doesnt affect them.
@@aligindahouse7777 I went to an urgent care for an infection in my leg and two days later after the swab came back, they called a prescription in for me. I didn’t look at the label, I was told it was just an antibiotic. About 5 days later I was in ER for the third time and had brought all my prescriptions and that’s when I read the label and saw ciproflaxin, that’s when I remembered that I had seen a Mr Ballen video about 2 years ago and I came back to the video to comment. I’m still in physical therapy for the damage that was done, I have what’s called trigger finger and I hope someday I will be fully healed. Several of the Drs I’ve seen did not believe Cipro can do this to people.I wish they’d take this drug off the market.
I don’t understand how this man didn’t immediately go to the emergency room that second day where he had to crawl to his laptop downstairs. Going to sleep and hoping it got better was such wishful thinking.
That’s all I kept screaming at the tv! Call 911! Go to the emergency room! 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Suicide by inaction?
Exactly like he was one of those ppl that goes on web md to diagnose themselves and cure themselves. I was like wtf didnt you go to the hospital also why didnt he try to sue the Pharmaceutical company idk sad story.
As I was watching the video I kept thinking when is the guy going to the E.R, I mean come on
I thought the same thing, maybe they could have helped him....
I am a disabled person, and spent 2 and a half years in a wheelchair, today I can walk, but I am in constant pain. My message is, 'do not give up! The mind overrides the body!' Mine happened 11 years ago when I was poisoned. Today I walk with difficulty and assistance and love from my wife of 18 years. Never give up! My message, with heart to all!
I am so happy for you! Keep going and I am sure you will get to your full capability soon!

Maybe he doesn't have insurance or money for an ER visit. They don't do anything anyway. I went to ER while on cipro they ran test and sent me home with no help . I went in for violent vertigo throw up , pissing blood and threw their hands up and said sorry we don't know . Now I have 30 different diagnosis and will never be the same . Still habe vertigo to this day
@@jenniferkealoha3956 I am so very sorry for what you going through. I have a similar story and can relate. Doctors are absolutely useless, at least here, in the United States... unless you’re part of the elite, wealthy class. I’m left with nothing but bills, and no answers while still sick, day in, and day out. I eat very healthy and refrain from bad habits... it’s all I can do, because doctors are trained by the pharmaceutical companies to be their dealers; they don’t actually diagnose and treat people anymore. Unlike my mother’s generation, they no longer truly care for each patient.
It’s absolutely horrible that something like this is still being sold to us. I hate the pharmaceutical industry they are a special kind of evil.
Yes, they most certainly are. And despite the FDA, they get away with a whole lot of nefarious behavior. I hate them too.
These antibiotics arent used for everyday infections so this dude probably had something severe.
Agree 100%
It’s the 123rd most commonly prescribed medication in the US. Every medication prescribed will affect a small percentage of the population negatively.
@@P4EightYeah, that sounds reasonable.
What kind of quack doctors office sees a man who can’t move his hands and is unimaginable pain and goes “here fill out these forms”

@@sonjafrost4 not just Murcia he went to a doctor which isn’t usually for such serious conditions he should’ve went straight to the hospital as soon as his legs started messing up.

Man what kind of quac dr. Sees that same man, dismisses his side effect theory, tells him there’s nothing you can do , and then sends him home for him to find out himself that yea, it was the side effects 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️. I probably gets a chec from the company, that’s why he didn’t even think about it 🤦🏾♂️ BIG PHARMA ARE DEVILS!!
I was wondering the same thing
I had to drop out of dental school over 10 years ago due to developing a neuroinflammtory disorder that impacts my immune system. A doctor casually prescribed me Cipro for an infection that I knew could easily be treated w other antibiotics that had low side effect profiles (I'm a microbiology major). I told him he was incompetent and that he would never see me again. I've already remained extremely sick for more than a decade. I can only imagined adding the horror of being floxed to my agony.
You shouldn't have to basically be a doctor in order to protect yourself from doctors.
@Althea Ramnarain I wish any of that surprised me. Had my own issues with Covid BS. I honestly might’ve learned more as a patient than I did in school at this point. Keep protecting urself and stay safe
Some are even intentionally malicious, testing to see what they can get away with. I don't easily assume this is the case at all, but it's a scary thought. My mom was terribly mistreated with medication, it seemed pretty clear she even had a prescribed overdose at one point. I appreciate the medical system and am not someone to dismiss it, but I've grown incredibly distrustful of it and the sometimes greedy, lazy, incompetent etc. and/or just evil people in charge on various levels. Another layer is many in my position would go to alternative medicine, and likely get taken advantage of again.
My own experiences also have been unbelievably terrible, but I'm lucky to have not been neurologically poisoned and put near death. Well, as for the latter, that is unless you count that one time I was literally about to die within a few days max, if it wasn't for my mom's insistence I was actually suffering from the rare Kawasaki disease, despite everyone there telling my mom to just relax and leave it to the ''professionals'', I hope they all learned a lesson that day.
And these cases are just a few among how many times I've been simply baffled, I've developed some pretty serious distrust in supposed authorities in general throughout my life, in and outside the medical field. And again, I don't think I'm inclined to be, I certainly don't want to be.
Was on these for years due to neuro Lyme. Now just label “fibro” dx for all
Lingering issue. Gee - nothing to do with 3 yrs of cipro even IV
This is truly one of your scariest stories to date, because it can literally happen to anyone. As a nurse I know this is a fairly common antibiotic. And 99% of people don't consider the side effects, most are worried about an allergic reaction. One of my greatest fears is being trapped in my own body while my mind is full aware. What happened to this man is very close to that fear.
I'm highly allergic to Cipro! Wasn't allergic to it for literally decades and then the last dosage I took, 15yrs ago, changed everything..I found that out when I started taking it and had the worse migraine I've ever had! I have cluster migraines (been to specialist's) so I know how to rate them, and this headache was the worst I've ever had..I immediately went to the doctor..come to find out I was having vascular spasms in my head from, you guessed it, Cipro..why all of a sudden I was allergic to it, I have no idea..I was fine taking it for decades and then out of nowhere it turned on me..I'm telling people this now because Mr Ballen presented the opportunity, and I'm *VERY* grateful for that!! Peace, love and blessings ✌️
Thats because more than 99% of people won't experience these side effects. All drugs have side effects, some mild, some severe, some can even be fatal, but the reason doctors still prescribe them is because the number of people who experience severe side effects from most drugs is extremely small. And for some drugs that have unpleasant side effects, there's just no alternative so they have to be tolerated but this is usually only done if the drug is to be taken short term.
That is my biggest fear.
@@mommy2libras drugs have side effects and if you take more than 1 drug that's an additional branch of side effects from the combo..when a person is taking 4 or 5meds (not counting ANY from the past that could cause long term side effects later even when you stop taking them) you've now reached a point where your average doctor is not going to be able to piece this large puzzle together..even Specialist's rarely are able to do this, certainly not 100%, maybe not even 2%..if a child is young, maybe, but once you reach your 20's, 30's and beyond it's dam well impossible to connect every medication..unless you have a list of *EVERY* drug you've taken since born, dosage and for how long, you can't trace it..so it not only helps drug makers more by being financially supported by giving numerous drugs, it helps their odds of *NOT* getting sued because a doctor can't really map out if something you took 10yrs ago, with a drug you took briefly 5yrs ago, caused everything you're experiencing NOW..saying 99% of people won't isn't based in reality..drug makers can't even claim that..I can't count how many prescriptions I took 20yrs ago that now say they can cause early dementia, strokes, etc, with a slew of other side effects *later* on down the road..math and meticulous research is not on your side..and drug makers are rolling in it to boot, from overpricing to avoided lawsuits by over medicating anybody they can..up until very recently most (and many still do) doctors over prescribe..big Pharma knows ALL of this, every single thing I just said..they're just hoping nobody thinks about it too much..intelligence is their enemy..making not well thought out assumptions is their bread and butter..so don't help them with the latter ✌️
@Jaz1375 I suffered a stroke in 2005 at 49 years old. You’re right to be afraid of being trapped in your own body. My mind was fully active but could not control my body. I was literally trapped inside my body understanding why was happening, people speaking to me but unable to react. Luckily it was a “minor” stroke that lasted about 2 hours but left a legacy of problems including how to walk and talk again. I lost my job and during the barrage of tests I found I had heart problems and had to take statins to lower cholesterol. When I started these medications I complained of joint pains and cramps which the doctors did not believe as Statins were the new wonder drug. Statins killed 60% of my heart muscle and have deteriorated my body where I need a walker to mobilise now. I suffered 6 heart attacks since.
I am now left with where if I take statins to lower cholesterol it will kill me and if I don’t my heart will pack it in.
I love all of your stories, but this one really chilled me to the bone. Years ago, I had a pretty bad UTI. My GP prescribed me Cipro and needless to say, it messed me up. I remember stopping the antibiotic halfway through because the side effects were so severe that I was willing to take my chances with the UTI pain and let my body heal on its own. Once I got better, I looked into CIpro online. It was terrifying. It was like opening a can of worms. I thought my reaction may have been rare or exaggerated, but it paled in comparison to what I found online. I immediately discarded the remaining pills and told my family to never allow myself of any of them be prescribed this med. I referred to it as poison. To this day, when a doctor's office asks if I am allergic to any meds I always say Cipro. I've always felt in my gut it was poison and never heard of this poor man's story. I'm so sorry he never got better - the ending broke my heart. I don't care what anyone says, no illness is worth taking that poison for. Stay away from Cipro.
This exact thing happened to me years ago. I also had a UTI, was also prescribed Cipro, and stopped taking it halfway through. I couldn’t keep food down, my legs would go numb and I’d fall down, etc. A week after I stopped taking it everything went back to normal and even my UTI was gone. But I can’t imagine what would have happened if I had finished the entire prescription. I also put Cipro down as an allergy now. After seeing this video, I’m going to start putting Fluoroquinolone-type medications as allergies as well. Didn’t even know there were multiple kinds but I’m not going to risk it.
I had exactly the same 6 years ago, this antibiotic should be illegal
Sadly, it isn't just this drug, the side effects are suppressed by the $$$ industry that creates them and pays off the "health agencies" that regulate it. No action is taken until people start suing, and most of us can't afford it, nor hope to win even if we could. It's disgusting.
@@jaysin1977Yes!! I was just going to say “Don’t just list Cipro, say ALL FLOUROQUINOLONES!!” That is what I do because I was floxed by Levaquin, and don’t want to take my chances with any drugs from that family ever again. Glad you recovered by the way! ❤
So odd. My experience is a bit backwards. Bactrim was the antibiotic that made me feel horrible. Fever, anger, etc. Cipro has been just fine. I would have never known before seeing this video how bad other people react to cipro
2 things that scare the crap out of me in this story:
1. False sense of calm before willing yourself to sleep
2. Misdiagnosis of a severe condition
Only one thing scares me.
Is saying to myself....dont forget to buy Toilet paper after work.......then you come home and rush to the bathroom before kids and wife get home to only realize......oh shit literally!!!
and the fact that a deadly drug is still being widely used by doctors didnt scare you??
i have a tumor on my shin bone just below knee that was misdiagnosed for 4 years as "osgood schlatters disease" good thing the bastard wasnt cancerous or i dont think id be here today

Doctors who prescribe drugs with such dangerous side effects and their inability to diagnose very side effects despite them being well documented
Mr. Ballen deserves a huge gratitude for this episode. Huge number of people watched it so far and will never take this drug - because they have been warned. Poor, poor Alex.
FLUOROQUINOLONES! This is part of genetic intoletance, i.e. CBS genetic mutation. (It's not an 'allergy). Laughing gas and other drugs in that category can end you. [Cheap genetic test can exclude!]. I was given Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) around 2009 for a UTI and reacted with 'seasickness' after 1 pill. By 2nd, I was on the floor hallucinating. By 3rd of 6 pills I barely made it to my doc. Snapped tendons, especially in elderly is one of main side effects. I was in early 40's and stopped early. NIGHTMARE!
Reaction is called 'FLOXING', i.e. a specific type of medication poisoning and likely take WEEKS to get out of one's system - even knowing that milk thistle 800mg and niacin was flushing out this nightmare out faster, it took me 6 weeks.
I wear a medalert drug bracelet with the drug class on it. It is still used often with countless people suffering consequences - it's a go-to drug to treat Borellia Burgdorferi (aka Lyme). I was 'lucky' to stop my infectious disease specialist in time and was on 500mg Zithromax daily for 2 years. When you hear if a healthy person (especially a kid) dying from a mystery heart attack at a dentist after laughing gas it is likely untested CBS mutation.
That Pill is poisoned so don't eat those it will lock up your bones and muscles and your back of your legs and it will lock up your thumbs and hands so don't take those or you will be bedridden or transfer to wheelchair ♿
Thank you for posting this. And thank you Mr. Ballen for being courageous enough to post the video. No Cipro for me ever.
@@phil4986 or anyone don’t be selfish 😂
If you read side effects of ibuprofen, aspirin et al you'd never take them.....these are extreme cases. I prescribe Ciprofloxacin regular.
I can’t believe he didn’t panic and go straight to the ER after his thumbs had locked. I’d be terrified of becoming paralysed and not being able to do anything
Woulda straight called an ambulance or gone to the hospital lol tf, my body is no longer listening to me I ain’t waiting a couple days for a doctors appointment
Just like how neji locked you chacra dlow_naruto reference
@@xanderman6009 many people dont have health insurance to cover the expenses
Probably why he drove him self with paralyzed hands
@@hindugoat2302 🥺🥺🥺 I never even thought about it like that...
It's fucking bizarre that he just did nothing for so long. Seriously, wtf? You're in blindingly excruciating pain but don't even go to the ER? I don't seem to be rude but how stupid can you be??? And don't talk about insurance, ER cannot turn anyone and a medical crisis is more important. Hospitals have programs for uninsured patients, we have group funding etc. I can't believe the doctor didn't send him straight to the hospital though, it's fucking malpractice.
I've had almost 20 years of symptoms from these antibiotics. At one point I was almost bedridden for over a year.
Worst thing about it is there really isn't any treatments available.
I was prescribed Levaquin for a sinus infection. Took 1 dose and had weird soreness in my joints and tingling in my extremities a couple hours later, and that triggered my memory of this episode. Looked it up, Levaquin also know as levofloxacin is the same type of drug as cipro, called the clinic and got a different prescription the same day. Wouldn't have realized if I had never watched this episode, and probably would have suffered some permanent damage.
I trust zero drugs from the Pharmaceutical industry. It's obvious the safety standards are total trash. Go to a naturopath and never trust these quack drug peddlers again.

Gosh, you were definitely meant to see this vid. Don't take those pills
@@RileyedNot true. Don’t know where you got that info from. It’s a commonly prescribed drug. That whole class of drugs now have a black box warning on the label, but the public doesn’t know that very often.

@@86BarbOmega Yeah push the pills and gets the bills!
most of the doctors look for an easy way TO make money... NOTHING else unfortunately!
I don't know why they didn't insist he go to the hospital. I feel that is malpractice.
My doctor told me to go to the ER. I'm glad he told me that and I'm glad I went there.
I have been using Cipro for my ears about 4 years. Thank you for waking me up. Time to see my Doc again.
Not everyone will develop issues but it’s probably a good idea if you feel like you need to change scripts. I wish you good luck and hope you do not develop any issues.
Yeah, told my doc and she said that they can change Cipro to another with less bad effects.
Turns out that I was allergic to it.
So we went back to penicillin 🤦♀️
@@mariknuutila oh goodness. I’m very glad that you changed it.
The fact NOT ONE of those DRs sent him to the ER IS SHOCKING. I also know a guy who had a Cipro reaction happen to him, they put him in a coma for 4 months. With PT he became ok.
Not that weird. America is backwards place where the cops have only 6 months of training, often a lot of racism, and a gun.

Thank you for making this video Mr. Ballen. Fluoroquinolones ruined my wife's life. It's been 11 years since she was floxed. It happened right after our youngest was born. She never could pick him up and hold him again. She couldn't even work in her flower gardens for 10 years. She missed out on a lot. This past year was the first year she's been able to work in the garden, but still suffers daily.
Omg how terribly sad! I'm So very sorry but am also glad she's feeling alittle better!! God bless your wife 🙏 and you and your family 💕
Bless you
Bless your family, can relate. 🙏❤️
God what a nightmare 😢
I'm checking my prescriptions now... Mine has been put off as Planter fasciatis... Why is it also in my fingers?
This happened to me on Cipro. My knees “froze” and I couldn’t walk for about a month. The doctors had no idea what was going on. It was awful.
Ruptured tendons leading to being bedridden or in a wheelchair? I feel like there should be a class action lawsuit against the makers of this drug wtf
Look at the devastating casualties of the MRNA covid vaccines! And the vaccine makers were given legal " indemnification" and thus can not be sued by the people that have their lives ruined by the shot.
Just like the swine flu shot.

My wife took antibiotics while I was deployed overseas. She called me crying of severe joint pain and pain in her hands. It got bad enough she had to have my 7 year old son call 911 since I was deployed. This video just made me put 2 and 2 together and realize that's exactly what it was! Her joint pain in her hands lasted up until just a little while ago and that happened 2 years ago

This happened to my fiance in 2015 when he was 25. Sounds exactly like his story. Doctors dismissed him and made him feel crazy. He saw every specialist who said he was fine. I had to drag him to the bathroom on a blanket. It was so hard to watch. He became really depressed. Before being floxed he was so healthy, went to the gym and he used to be a valet so he was constantly running and active. It was crazy how his lifestyle had to change. He too went to the internet to find answers and even tried to tell the docots he knew what was wrong with him but they still dismissed him. He is doing so much better now. He is lucky! One thing that did help was acupuncture. It was the only thing that gave him relief and the acupuncturist was the only one who actually listened to his story about his pain without cutting him off. He has little to no Achilles tendon pain. He has a small flare-up every once in a while but he is very lucky. I would say it lasted about a year and a half. If anyone is going through this please stay strong! Look online and find support groups where you can talk to others dealing with the same thing! I really hope Alex gets fully better one day 🙏🏽
1 of so many reasons I don't trust the medical industry and walked away from working in it. Always seek natural treatments. Drugs are literal poison that usually create other issues to keep you coming back.
I'm SO relieved he got better. It sounds absolutely horrible. Reading how you had to drag him to the bathroom on a blanket showed how much pain he was in. He was lucky he had you to look after him and nurse him through this. Just great to hear he is nearly himself again.
How can people from Medical background be so ignorant and careless?
How do you know it was acupuncture and not just time (symptom disappearance) and placebo (immediate pain relief)?
@@firesong7825 I feel like it wasn't a placebo. By that time he had given up on all hope. I literally had to beg him to give it a try and not bail out on his appointment because his attitude was what's the point its not going to work. And it was the first time he walked out of an appointment smiling. Now to clarify because I didn't in my first comment he wasn't magically healed right after that first session. He still had pain and struggled daily, but the brief relief he had did give him hope again . Time definitely helped also.
"Now, all he has to look forward to is his dearh"... That is, by far, the most chilling and depressing statement that I've ever heard. ☹️😔☹️. So very, very sad for Alex
I'm a nurse. I was given Cipro. Severe tendinitis ensued, I actually had to drag one leg. I immediately stopped the Cipro. If I hadn't been a nurse with experience of this side effect I would have sought treatment for an injury while continuing the Cipro. Canada removed Cipro from their formulary. Here in the USA it's a common treatment for a bladder infection. Not many women would think their bladder problem caused their leg to stop working. USA take it off the market! 3 years later I still have tendonitis.
That is just shocking to me? Even if one person suffered immensely from a drug why tf is it available for anyone ?? And for a bladder infection?! Jesus Christ I would just deal with that instead for a week lol
about 15 years or so ago i had a bladder infection and was prescribed cipro, i live in Canada and the cure was worse than the disease. while i never suffered tendon issues, thankfully, i felt like hell the entire course. all i did was sleep, sweat, shiver, ache and had severe stomach issues. when i researched it, i don't recall seeing anything about tendons, but i found it is the one drug the use to cure anthrax! i have only taken one anti biotic since and that was for a dental appointment, i had knee and hip replacement and for some reason i have to before every dental appointment now. something to do with an infection you can get. i refuse to take anything now unless i have to.
i still hope you get better, ma'am! 🤍
What are youre thoughts on the way things are going with the covid vaccines? Are you for it?
Cause I'm not.
This episode can literally save someone’s life. Thank you
I can't believe it's not mentioned more on the packet, they should have to. Also, you would think Doctors would at least be aware of it.
@@7Lace77 here in Sweden the pharmacy knows a whole lot more about meds than doctors, I've noticed. I always ask them for advice when I get a new prescription!
it is saving alot by the looks of it
Why hasn't this drug been banned?? This is fkn CRAZY!!
I had a cocktail of antibiotics; ICU, sepsis ... CIPRO was one of the pills in a little paper cup I pretended to swallow and didn't fill the prescription upon discharge . A horrible headache was the reason had no idea about lifelong debilitation.
For some reason, this is scarier to me than any type of ghost or murder video.
This had me sweating, I won’t lie
Right?? This is absolutely insane!
Definitely. I cant even imagine dealing with something like this
This is terrifying.....
I'm terrified now, I just got prescribed Cipro three days ago too. Terrible timing for me to watch this video.
@@caitlynhope9249 personally I would stop immediately and ask doctor to change them if he says no tell him they make me itchy or something he should change it for sure...

@@GLAMOURSK1LLS what the fuck on earth does paranormal investigation have to do with placing an undeserving woman on a pedestal
Working in nursing, I'm amazed at the number of patients who have never been warned of these side effects. I always tell them as a precaution even if they've finished, and nearly 100% of them say "nobody ever told me this"
I'm one of those patients that's never been informed of this. I've been on Cipro many times over the last 20 years. I can't believe I never knew about any of this! I guess I've been lucky, but I don't think I'll ever let a doctor put me back on this antibiotic again...
The pharmacist is the one who offers to counsel people on new drug prescriptions they pick up-- but often people aren't interested in talking to the pharmacist because they are in a hurry.
What is more shocking is that the FDA approved of Cipro as an antibiotic for public prescriptions.
Drs dont care
@@MetalGearTenno yes they already knew of this side effect because it had already happened in the required drug trials before gov't approval.. They might say a side effect occurs in perhaps 1% (or more) of patients.. but still, they know people HAVE suffered because of it, yet they blow it off as insignificant. How insingificant was it to this guy..
Doctor: "Are you alergic to an antibiotics?"
Me last week: Nope
Me now: Cipro
LMAO
I can’t take Cipro. After a couple of days I become edgy and angry at any little thing which isn’t normal for me. First doctor should have sent him to the ER.
I've been allergic to most antibiotics since birth, y'alll mfs got a boogey man I can't even see. Ha!
Damn.. No joke.
Unless you get anthrax and need the cipro
Listening to this story is amazing! A few years back I went through almost exactly the same issues. I had been diagnosed with bronchitis and out on antibiotics, also, Cipro. After a few days in the medicine one day I woke up and started the day fine. Then a few hours into my day I broke out in a horrible case of hives. I went to the doctor to get something for relief from the hives and I noticed that my wrist was all of a sudden very sore. After leaving the doctor with instructions to discontinue the antibiotics I was on and drink a lot of water. I loved approximately 40 minutes from my doctors office. By the time I got to my driving could barely hold the steering wheel to turn. This condition just kept getting worse and worse to unbearable. Knowing I could not drive and not knowing what was happening I called for an ambulance. After being transported to the hospital and going through testing; they could find nothing and I was told the same thing that it seemed like an autoimmune disease. Was sent home the symptoms seemed the same. The next morning I woke up and couldn’t move on my own. I was taken to the hospital and spent a week in the hospital in pain that was so terrifying and scary. Unlike Alex, I was fortunate and in approximately 4 months I finally felt normal again. I believe it was because thankfully I only took the medication for a few days before having the horrible side effects. I will be praying for Alex, because there is no definition for the pain experienced from these side effects. The drug should be outlawed. Thank you for sharing and I hope others will be sure when prescribed a medication they do in fact, read ALL the side effects.
It started off weird, got scary, then became bizarre and then the last couple minutes were brutally depressing.
Just think of all the money Big Pharma and medical industries make treating the side effects of the poisons that they sell.

I think somethings wrong with me, I go months without my period which is a side effect of my meds but I’ve had to go to the hospital two or three times SCREAMING in pain, I’ve never felt so much pain and I’ve never had to be rushed to the doctors and even the other patients waiting begged the doctors to let me go in first(before roughly 30 other patients because of how awfully I was screaming and begging them to make it stop) but when I got there the first time they assumed I had an ovarian cyst, but said it shouldn’t be THAT painful so they didn’t fully understand it. The second time, the doctors simply told me they had no idea what was wrong. The third time this happened I was left screaming in my room on the floor and simply given 400 ml of Tylenol because my parents didn’t wanna pay for the medical bills to be told that the doctors didn’t know what was wrong with me
on his blog it shows he was alive as of december 2016, but i’m not sure if he still is alive. the blog is called ciproispoison. he has an email on his blog if you want to reach out

There was a HUGE Class Action Lawsuit against the makers of Cipro and Levaquin, for these catastrophic effects of those drugs. I was approached by the main lawyers for this case. Alex needs to find out about this lawsuit, as it is ongoing with new detrimental patient conditions.

@@Thatperson2-u7u probably some internet searching with key words. You can also search for "name of drug(s) class action lawsuit lawyer". Attorneys pay a lot to get people to be able to find them.

@@jamesfrancisaloysiuspercev925 see my reply to the other person for info. Good luck.
i think these lawssuits are all frivolous bunches of bs. EVERY SINGLE prescribed pill has SERIOUS side effects that COULD happen. but only a small percentage of people vs the amount of people that take them have them. It is up to YOU as the patient to READ the WARNING label given to you by the pharmicist with EVERY prescription you get. there are a lot of smaller side effects that you are even most likely going to experience. these are considered worth it to take care of what you are suffering. ie contipation, weight gain, dry mouth, etc. I take a handful of medications every day EVERY time i get a new prescription i read my paperwork that comes with it, and talk to my pharmicist. Don't bother with your Dr. Pharmacists know more about meds and what can be mixed with what than they do. Ultimately the only person who can decide what goes into YOUR mouth is YOU. if YOU choose to be IGNORANT of what the facts then that is your FAULT nobody else's. I have tuned down pills and asked for something different many times because i was not willing to either deal with known side effects that normally happen or take the chance of the possible side effects. Regardless, as soon as you start feeling ANYTHING different going on after taking a pill of ANY kind you call a medical professional. Just because it isn't listed as a possible side effect, doesn't mean it isn't/can' be a side effect for YOU. here's something people forget. while there are absolute's about the human body that Everyone has tha connects us all. there is a LOT they makes us all different which is why there are new diseases being discovered all the time). And they can't account for EVERY single possible side effect.

Just goes to show that health isn't always under our control, no matter how "disciplined" or healthful our behaviors. Literally anyone can become disabled or chronically ill. Believing otherwise leads to a lot of blame and impatience on the part of healthy people toward their disabled or ill friends and family. It's scary to know that you could require a wheelchair or lose an entire sense or become sick and never get better, but it is important to know that it's possible. It's part of why we should be working to make society more accessible and accepting of people whose bodies don't fit the "healthy" norm.
Imagine being someone who has been maimed or killed by this "experimental medication" aka the Covid Vax.... and you can't even talk about it because every social media platform or news outlet bans your story.
The percentage of death from the "vaccine" is exponentially higher than death from Covid. And if you think the FDA, WHO, CDC, etc care about you.... Just let this story be a cautionary tale.

About a year and a half ago i started taking Levaquin. a few days into my regiment i started getting tendon pain the exact same way as the guy in the video. it was just starting for me and wasn't bad but it came on all of a sudden and could tell something was wrong. The next day my wife comes running downstairs and tells me to stop taking my meds immediately. turns out she seen this very video and after researching found out that Levaquin and cipro are part of the floxin family. And causes tendon ruptures. so here i am watching this video for the first time in 2024 my wife walks by and hears this video and tells me this is why she researched my meds. I guess i can consider myself lucky SHE caught this video early on in taking my meds. I went through a week of minor pains and spasms but recovered.
Omg...I've not been able to work for 16 years with the SAME thing! I'm 70% in bed and cant walk far...I'm classed disabled an on meds...the pain is horrendous and my joints get inflamed and wobbly...all tests clear. I was on antibiotics many times with my chest infections. You may just have helped me with this! I could cry with this man...he is describing my life everyday and I'm 52 now but wished many times God would bring me to the end of my life early. Thank you! 🙏😥🏴
God bless ye, Scots Lass. Healing vibes headed your way.🙏💜💪🌻🌞
@@kelliphillips7120 awww thank you so much kelli.. my husband watched this after i did and us as shocked as me. God Bless! Xx ❣🏴
This is my first time hearing about cipro and it sounds utterly horrifying. I am so thankful to have been able to read your comment and I hope and pray your pain will subside without taking your life. I am going through a lot myself but in a completely different form and topic but still very heavy. I don't know what you believe in but I pray that you gain the strength you need to move forward. 🙏
That is horrible! Sounds like the people who released this should be in prison!
Sorry to hear that. Sad there isn't a cure for it but they are close to curing covid? ❤ 🇵🇸
“And so, now all he looks forward to is his death.”
This story was absolutely heartbreaking and terrifying. I wonder what other prescription drugs have these same awful side effects. I feel for anyone suffering from these dreadful side effects and I hope that somehow they get better. Thank you for spreading the word Mr. Ballen. Stay safe out there everyone.
It happened to my father, he nearly lost everything because of it. Bankruptcy the whole 9 yards.
I watched a documentary about a lady who took a supplement and was bed ridden. Some people did die before figuring it out,but she was a health nut and in great shape at the beginning. That alone saved her. Don't remember the name of supplement but something changed with the manufacturing process in an Asian country that was the problem. Scary stuff out there. Take care
Just smoke pot for everything it will never destroy you like Cipro

Do you know mr. Nightmare
I gave up like a year ago... The storyteller gets you so enthralled In the story...
I’m a pharmacy tech and when you said cipro I knew exactly what his outlook was! That’s horrible that doctors didn’t realize this earlier or his pharmacy didn’t advise him of this side effect!
true
in my country people take Ciprocin even for fever and i also took that so many times as a quick fix
I was floxed. I was lucky and my symptoms went away after three months but before three years, it was more like 18 months. A good friend of mine was floxed and even after three years she's still suffering a bit but is improving with time. My heart goes out to the guy in this video and everyone else who suffered permanent harm from that antibiotic. It's so unfair. Love how you low-key warned others about this drug. Many of us have been screaming about it for years.
Thanks for this! Also floxed and was in a chair for 6 months because of it. The world needs to be warned, and MrBallen's coverage feels like a gift from Heaven, doesn't it? You have my best.
I was floxed 7 years ago. Ended my dance profession, ended my life. The more I move, the more I hurt. I sit in a chair curled to not move so there is less pain, losing my soul as my husband and his family tell me I'm faking it and am just lazy and don't want to work. LoL, why would I give up a life of dancing, love and beauty to sit in a chair or lay in my bed? More people need to know what this drug can do. It's not uncommon as they would have you believe.
Ppl that speak out against big pharma disappear. No one knows about the lady that was whistleblowing about the vaccine and died mysteriously. AFTER making a video about how she would never commit suicide.
I feel so bad for u. I hope u continue to get healthy and ur friend gets the relief they need need also. Feel so bad for u. Prayers to u and your friend.
@@jamieyoho2310 I have noticed a trend. People will often publicly state "they would never commit suicide" and then go on to commit suicide soon after. Maybe they don't want their friends and family to know they killed themselves. Maybe they want their death to have an aura of mystery to it. Maybe they want to bring attention to some issue or they want to pin it as murder on someone they hate. Everybody, if you see somebody you know spontaneously/randomly state they would never commit suicide, you need to keep a close eye on them because that is exactly what they probably intend to do.
I don't fear the thought of many deaths, but witnessing my own body rejecting the will of my mind is absolutely frightening. Breaking down without a clue as to why, and with such immediacy. Pure terror.
This happened to me because of a genetic disorder, no meds involved. People have no idea.
Going through almost the exact same thing this guy did, though it's in its early stages if that's what it is. But yesterday I had to leave work early because the cramps got so bad around 6 hours in that I knew I couldn't keep fighting it.
On the drive home both arms, both legs, my abs, and my right hand all constantly kept locking up.
Yes it is actually terrifying when your own body turns on you suddenly. Never had anything like this before.
@@SickTwist3d Hope you get better
@@pelufaz8435 thanks, me too.

Modern problems, require modern solutions.... ooooh god dammit.
Just don't take any Cipro, easy avoidance.
@@reeceyb505 But for all we know there's another medication that your doctor could recommend that's just as bad
@@jonseon5952 Aight I'll just check whatever I'd get prescribed to me for any severe medical side effects from now on : /
Literally me right now
Geez... this is frightening, but it makes sense now. I've taken Cipro and have had horrible joint pain, which doctors told me was arthritis. The pain lasted for years, but I've recovered since then.
i thought arthritis was an auto-immune disease which can be tested for (sorry if im wrong abt this)
I guess this shows that you will never take that drug again, regardless what the doctor says
I had a servere case of cellulitis in my ear Cipro was the only thing that fixed it. I didn't have any of these side effects. Thank god.

@@bigbill74scots makes sense

@@BenelB Im guessing you live in a truly civilised country, not one with a façade of one.
My doctor prescribed me Cipro a few years ago, and after researching the side effects and seeing all the stuff about tendon problems, I had him change my prescription to another antibiotic. This just made me glad I did 😦
I was put on Levaquin. Same class of antibiotic. Same side effects. I requested a different medication immediately!!
Thank goodness. I read the page he wrote on his website. He said he's not one to just ignore labels. He stood in the pharmacy and read the warning label and found that the possible side effects weren't too serious as it only had possible joint pain listed. He said if he had just did his own research and looked up the potential side effects online then he would've never touched those pills. I feel so sorry for him. He said he was living a healthy life on his own independently and now he's back with his parents living in their basement.
@@riripari2042 ow, that is so sad!
Same here. My doc prescribed Cipro for a minor infection she wasn't even sure I had, while we waited for results. I filled the prescription, then looked it up - decided straight away not to take it. A week later I was back in her office - she told me that I didn't have an infection and that I should stop taking the drug. When I told her I never started and why - she was furious and started screaming at me loud enough to be heard in the waiting room!
@@tielmum that’s very odd.. you would think she would’ve been glad that you didn’t take them.. especially bc you didn’t need them in the first place!
I was floxed a few years ago, but I stopped the pills immediately when I started having pain (around day 3 or 4) and was fine in a few months of rest and a month or two of physical therapy after to regain some mobility. I never had any ruptures thankfully. I still have some minor pain and tightness in both of my Achilles tendons, but I’m so grateful I got off easy and made all but a full recovery. If you need this medication, you need it, but if there’s an alternative, weigh your options. This medication is not to be trifled with.
I know I'm not the only one watching this screaming "WHY ARE YOU NOT GOING TO THE HOSPITAL OMFG"
Riiiight!?!?
Yes
That is exactly what I was thinking! :0
I would have been at the hospital as soon as the other leg locked up.
American Healthcare and stupidity
True story:
Watched this Sunday, today I went to the doctor and he prescribed me an antibiotic. I said "as long as its not cipro". To which he responded "okay, let me change that" , types on keyboard "just curious why not cipro? " I responded "because I'm a fan of the strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format."
Hahaha
I just got done a 5 day course of cipro. I’m scared S******s now

@@katdaddy469
*”All floxed up”*
*Baa Dum Tss*
and drs will say, oh there arent any real side effects. just like they dont tell us about vaccines
I knew about this. THANK you for covering this topic! So important. It is beyond me that we learn about it in FB groups and true crime channels and NOT from doctors.
Interesting how every drug and vitamin has a warning to “consult your doctor”, but how many doctors are proficient in the side effects of all drugs and vitamins?
Zero.
This should be the responsibility of big Pharma!
It amazes me, I work as a paramedic and we get calls for stuffy noses and toe pain that they've had for 3 months
And this guy goes to sleep and waits for his Dr appointment. And drives himself!
We aren't supposed to call for sniffly noses?? Totally joking. Sorry you deal with that. I get the same type of stuff but for pets. "My dog sneezed it's an emergency!"
Um, well, one night I was having a lot of pain in my lower abdomen, & I discovered it hurt when I had to pee, so I figured I'd go in the next day. A couple hours later, it hurt worse, a whole lot worse, & there was blood in my urine. It took me about a half hour to work myself up to sit through the pain drive myself to the ER. After getting a painful sample from me, they hooked me up on a standard IV. A short bit later, the doctor comes back & says he's glad I got in when I did because I had a UTI which had spread to my kidneys, hence the pain. He had ordered an antibiotic on the IV, & said he was going to authorize a dose of pain meds as well. I asked if the pain meds were ok to drive on, & he was in shock that I drove myself in with as much pain as I was having! And no, you shouldn't drive while on whatever he was going to add, so I got an extra large dose of ibuprofen, & after a couple hours when the antibiotics were finished, I drove home. 😕
Don’t forget the frequent flyer that never wants to be transported
The driving part was pretty irresponsible.
@@meltedcheese1091 we have frequent flyers that will say they have chest pain because they know it will keep them in there the longest. And we can't say no to someone. Ever.
But they've openly told us that they just want a sandwich and place to sleep.

@@pamingles2753 oh I hope it’s not 🙁so sorry to hear that

Yesss go to the hospital smh 🤦🏾♀️

**Laughs in $2000 ambulance ride**
Its not that easy for some. I live his pain every day for the same reason. We get gaslighted, called crazy and paranoid. Most if us don't have good insurance to go to the hospital or call 911 for an ambulance
Yep. I've been to doctors re this and was told I was crazy and it wasn't the meds even though it's on the label warnings of each med. They don't want to help. Im sure he searched on Google like I did after he exhausted all other options.
My dad was also floxed. He was prescribed levaquin for prostate issues. One dose and he experienced tendon pain. Thank God the side effects didn't last longer than a week. I'm glad I knew of this medication beforehand. It's crazy how the side effects are said to be "rare" but it's not rare at all and affects 1 in 10,000 people.
most worrying is the fact he informed the first doctor about his medication and the doctor sent him away.
If it was the same doctor that prescribed that junk in the first place, he would be covering his assets right away.
He went and saw a podiatrist, not a doctor. Someone who custom moulds orthotics to treat lower limb issues.
@@Mammo_NZ even so all medical practitioners go through medical school so shouldn’t he atleast have had a general knowledge of antibiotics? especially if it’s a common one like people are saying.
doctors arnt members of reddit they get told what something does and thats it.
Probably because he recognized the side effect but didn't dare to take the fight against big pharma.
I took Cipro a few times and now I see I dodged an humongous bullet.
My deepest sympathy to the sufferers who didn't come back.
Alex (screaming in pain): "I need to see the doctor everything hurts, and I can't use my hand!"
Receptionist: "Please fill out this paperwork."
😑
it was him driving for me. i damn near threw my phone
Went to ER with limbs failing and severe shortness of breath. Could barely speak. Idiots (throughout the ER) continually asked me the same questions, to write, and to walk places. No checking of any notes to get info I'd already given (with much exertion) or to see that no, I could not "hop up on the bed".
Considering that he still drove himself after all the joints in his hand disconnected I have a feeling he didn’t say anything to the receptionist about not being able to write
My father made it into the emergency room of the Hospital he told her he was having a heart attack she gave him a clip board and told him to fill out the form.😞. He collasped and was rushed into surgery having a quadruple by pass. He was having a heart attack.
@@majinally3527 I was so sick once with Rocky mountain spotted fever that I could barely walk from one room to another in my apartment in NYC, but then insisted on walking to the er several blocks away after I realized what was wrong and needed immediate treatment. I think I was kind of delirious and scared, which explained my strange insistence on walking to the hospital, and I wonder if that sort of fear and confusion affected this poor guy to make him drive.
Can’t preach this enough. My daughter is three years in her downward spiral from taking metronidazole. A pretty common antibiotic…
"all he looks forward to is his death".... Just, wow. That line broke me. Him and all those others that suffer, I am so sorry.
Most disturbing thing is not that people had suffered, but even knowing about this someone with worst fate will get this poison prescribed by doctors
this haunts me the most......
Glad I dont belong to those enormous amount of unlucky population, who still didnt heard about the story...
@@dineshpadhi9421
Word Dinesh! How can they still prescribe it? If I ever get offered this drug, I'm not seeing that doctor anymore. I need someone who educates themselves constantly about the medicines THEY choose to prescribe.
Breaks my heart too.
I can't believe what the medical industry is getting away with these days. The worst part is the way they just so casually and blatantly and routinely cover everything up and nobody ever talks about it cuz their to scared or to stupid/naive or bribed with money/material possessions/resources or threatened with violence . soooo 😥 sad.

@@rodgersmith1573 are you actually cwying?
I love how the first doctor's like, 'no, you definitely don't have one of these well-know side-effects, definitely not'.
Ugh! It happens more than you think or anyone would like to admit. For some reason people put all this faith in doctors but I've learned over the years most don't know shit. Last time I saw a doctor was for dizziness. He didn't know what it was until I pointed out what I found on google and he was like, yep, that's it! Fast forward to now and it's definitely not what he tried to confirm what it was. I'm convinced most doctors are con artists. Most. Not all mind you.
that "doctor" needs to be fired
Money lovers run the establishments
Half of all doctors graduated in the bottom half of their class.
Doctors are good for broken bones and that's about it, otherwise you need to be your own advocate or find a registered naturopath in your area.
Thanks to you when my girlfriend was prescribed Cipro for a UTI. I rememberremembered this and she asked for a different antibiotic. I’m incredibly grateful
So, I'm not sure why he didn't just go STRAIGHT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHEN HE FELL... I WAS WAITING FOR HIM TO SAY," HE CALLED 911, OR WENT TO THE ER" WAYYYY BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT. WOOOOOOW 😲😲😲😲😳😳😳
They probably would have said the same thing the doctor did. It’s not the antibiotic. Even so I don’t think they would be able to do anything for him and then he would just rack up a massive bill. I’m with you though I definitely would have called 911.
Some people think they're built different and refuse to take care of themselves or they aren't very self aware and fail to recognize when something is really wrong 😂 my dad won't go to the ER cause of his pride unless it's REALLY BAD
Me tooooo🤒😨🤧😔
Couldn't help him. Sometimes it's not fixing the problem, but figuring out the problem. The first doctor who said that it wasn't the problem, simply wasn't the doctor to address the issue. This is a very small issue compared to the lies the medical field had and still does have been kept under wraps. Especially the cure for cancer. Sorry for my rant that has no end
Mabe he was an American... medical bills cost more their...also it cost alot of money to get an ride to a hospital.
I was prescribed a fluoroquin antibiotic years ago. I always google drugs before I take them. From tylonol to anything else. This drug didn’t have “official” side effects but the amount of forums and comments of people that had tendon issues was insane. I didn’t take it but my heart bleeds for the people they took it thinking the worse side effect was an allergy.
They called themselves floxies. This drug should be pulled except for severe cases of life or death
I’m the same way… I dont take medication. Good on you for looking out for yourself. I pray that every person who took that covid vaccine will be ok with no long term side effects.

It’d be ten times worse I imagine knowing that you did it to yourself too. I don’t know how I would go on, after something like that. That’s awful, the worst part is the company that makes the drug isn’t even held accountable for any of their victims, since it was disclosed as a potential side effect. These companies literally get away with murdering, and destroying lives daily, and all for money. Pretty fucked up.
Well I have a story for you. I had taken a round of Cipro shortly before I saw this episode several months ago. At the time I developed plantar fasciitis but after a few weeks it went away, I chalked it up to the side effects and was thankful that in my case it was something very minor. I was spared the worse side effects that some people experienced. Fast forward to now about 6-7 months later and I just had surgery for a ruptured Achilles. I was running up a set of stairs when “pop!” Just like a rubber band snapping it ripped. Actually after the mri it showed that it ruptured in two places, in the middle of the tendon and down where it connects to the heel. So I’m sitting here rewatching this video, praying to God that nothing else happens and that it’s over… but I thought that before
Jesus, that's frightening. How have you been? Are you doing ok? Sorry if I sound weird, hearing this I just wanted to reach out to you and hope your doing much better and healing x
Well first off fuck these drugs if they’re really the ones causing all these tendon problems… second i’d say look into peptides just in case you might be dealing with more tendon issues down the line…
I had to have my arch reattached in two spots plus a bone removed and arthritis in my heel all from a workout injury and running on it daily for a yr. 8 weeks no weight-bearing cast and I drive a stick... it's crazy what we put our bodies through and what our bodies can endure is wild!
I pray you dont have any more problems .
@@Fallout-7614 I’m healed up pretty good, still walk with a limp. The hardest part after it’s healed is trying to regain strength after not being able not being able to walk for 6 months. Muscles atrophy really quick and take a long time to rebuild. Started jogging again but still super weak.Hopefully I don’t have any more tendon problems. It was really scary at one point when I could only use one leg the other Achilles became swollen, burning. And actually bruised. Dr said it was a strain or could have been a micro tear that was small enough to heal without surgery.
