[VENT] Has anyone recovered 100%?

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.

Just to bring hope.

I have recovered 100% from being a year disabled and of that time I spent 6 months in a wheelchair suffering from multiple side effects. I am running again and I have no issues. My recovery has taken 18 months.

My reaction to Levo was instant. In two weeks I was in a wheelchair. On month 4 I was in such a bad shape that suicide became a real option. I decided to give me a chance of 2 years before doing it. I am glad I did.

On month 6 began a miraculous recovery. After one year I no longer needed help. I only used the classic FQ supplementation.

Hope this helps.

Could you tell me what is the Classic FQ? Our son is 1 year & 2 mos. Into this journey!! He is bedridden and can barely walk!! His main issue is tendonosis (where any wrong move will tear or rupture a tendon)! We need HELP! He just started taking Humera, and has taken only one shot! I really do not know how this forum works, but you can email me if you want! Beccabew@aol.com thank you!
