Freaked out as I am a dentist and of course rely on good vision. Went to a retinal specialist who diagnosed it as posterior vitreous detachment. Great. I brought up the cipro and like I figured, the opthalmologist didn't think it was related. Condition still present, I've been off cipro only 5 days. My eyes do not feel the same, they feel vey dry; I have never had eye problems before. This medicine is not without its effects. I am hoping that time will bring things back to normal. I am not one to go looking on the Internet for stuff like this, but I know it is not normal, and when I see other peoples situations, I am starting to not believe my problems are coincidental.Philnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248351153727462863.post-87682985056101181192011-03-22T18:56:35.875-07:002011-03-22T18:56:35.875-07:00My dad just became affected by Cipro.

So far mostly anxiety, palpitations, loss of appetite, insomnia and hot flashes. Doctors and pharmacists don't have a clue what's is going on. It is unbelievable. Seems like a nightmare.

Also, I have recently discovered that I am anemic, and I wanted to tell you that I totally understand your fear about bleeding when you combine the info about your eyes. I do that internal dialoging all the time :), but I think we both know that it is to avoided when possible! Hang in there, stay positive and try to keep us updated.

I had to quit the NSAIDs also, because I developed ulcers. Something else to consider. I had cataract surgery last summer...now wonder if floxing affected the need for that. Lately, I'm having blurred vision in the evening. Hope it's just because I spend too much time looking at the computer screen and getting dry eyes. Good luck, JoyceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248351153727462863.post-88074551496152355532011-02-08T13:13:53.422-08:002011-02-08T13:13:53.422-08:00Thanks, Terri...heading to the doc in about an hou...Thanks, Terri...heading to the doc in about an hour. It will be interesting to see what he has to say!<br /><br />glad you are feeling better, I too am at about 75% most of the time. Other than light sensitivity and headaches I would never have thought there even was a problem with my eyes. Just went to a regular eye exam for "old eyes"! Must say I am still a bit shocked!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185513255737012093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248351153727462863.post-10779645587943916322011-02-07T18:25:26.473-08:002011-02-07T18:25:26.473-08:00Thanks for your eye dr. update.

Try not to worry, which I know can be hard when you are waiting for answers.<br />I had my appointment with the rheumatologist last week and I asked him about the tendons in my eyes and if I could have a reaction in them, and he said no way- not to worry about it. So I am hoping he is right. I can't take any ibuprofen or asprin because it hurts my stomach and gives me an ulcer. I am feeling about 75% better from where I was. <br />Hopefully you will get the answers soon.<br />Thanks for the great blog!<br />Terricoopsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852250773386905557noreply@blogger.com
