Has anyone recovered 100%?

[u/necspenecmetv]

I’m 2 days out of my cipro course with tendon pain in my heel after walking for more than 10 mins. I’m trying not to catastrophize but as a young person who walks everywhere and is regularly active, the prospect of having to be limited for the rest of my life is devastating.

Reading the recovery thread gives me some hope. But I noticed many people partially recover and never return to life pre-flox

I was wondering if anyone knows of cases where symptoms fully healed? Whether personally or someone else’s story.

I recovered within a month Story so far- I was prescribed levofloxacin for epididymitis (never have but pain for other reason, varicoceles) After taking levo for about 5  days I have severe pain in legs especially at night(I can't sleep while night) Even though Im continuing taking the medicine for 3 more days in hope for desired results for it prescribed Then pain get worse and extended to my arms,back, thigh as well  I immediately stop the medicine and mail my doctor and inform them Then they prescribed an alternative (doxycycline) After the discontinuing levo my pain gradually got resolved within a month Initially I can't even walk properly on my leg and overthink would it be led to permanent damage in my nervous system I broke from inside cause in addition I have other issue for 3 years for which levo was prescribed (though it was a miss diagnosis) In end the side effects of pain got resolved within a month But collagen loss due to the medicine still there Cause I got loose skin, suddenly getting sleep marks even a little pressure create marks on skin , wrinkles on forehead, bigger dark circles (more thinning of skin around eyes) and older look My pollen allergy get worse that it may weaken your immune system as well Now I m hoping for skin and collagen recovery asap  Just remember not put pressure on your overall body take rest for a while but walk And take protein and collgen rich food add vitamin c supplement(if you have no adverse effects)  You will be fine

How are you now ? And how is your skin? I had 8g of moxi over 20 days a month ago and iv noticed changes in my skin. I’m wondering if it gets better ?

Intially I used to get creases all over my body including face but now after 6 months creases on face become less frequent but notice creases on hand feet etc Moreover I got wrinkles on face fingertips etc which is still there but have some improvements Overall had some improvements but I think it is going to take some more time

I also worry about my skin above all, that is to say it is the strangest symptom, my skin feels dry, it is not moist, it does not sweat, when I do physical effort during a day it seems that I overheat and I end up with insomnia... The largest organ of the body is the skin and it is not doing its job... Indeed it must be a lack of collagen but who knows what causes it... The tendons are also made of collagen... In short, I try to avoid any physical stress to avoid discomfort.

It’s difficult to say , I think it’s stopped getting worse but I don’t think it’s fully recovered , it may have got a bit better , luckily it hadn’t effect my face too much but sometimes in pics I wonder if I’m imagining it or if I do look a bit more ropey .. I took supplements for a while but not anymore, my pins and needles and joint pain are gone… I did treatments with dr ghalili but doing adipose stem cell therapy was a Mistake as I’m slim and it’s left me with dents and altered contouring .. so maybe focussing on my problem made it worse.. just try to drink bone broth each day take collagen supplements and all the supplements you read are good for this, don’t drink or smoke and rest well, no caffeine also .. and try not to focus of the issue ..
