It is hard to decide what is really happening.
Cold autoimmune hemolytic anaemia, ITP
IgG and IgM attack normal blood cells.
Liver and Spleen Hyperactivity due to damaged blood cells.
Combination of Pneumovirus, exposure to extreme cold, and Fluoroquinalone drug used for treatment.
Suspect Hospital cold drinks and Ice cream continue to exacberate.
Reaction with Ciprofloxacin treatment for ear infection. Nov 2001. First episode.
Jan 2002 repeat after 1 useage of CiPro in combination with Cortisteroid. landed in hospital cramps and CAIHA.
recovered and went north. -35C and ear drops. Clotting and CAIHA. counts down. Severe pulmonary emolism. Sever -Cramping in legs hands and chest.
This was my first experience with fluroquinalone drugs and doctor prescribed Levaquin three times afterwards have put me in hospital with repeat symptoms. Hemoglobulin counts 60-64.
Suspect that in certain persons Quinolone drugs react on autoimmune system to produce antigens against self.
This is probably an autoimmune condition that is pre-exisiting and in combination with the drug the autoimmune system overreacts.

I would never recommend this to anyone. For 6 months I was on Junel FE 1/20, which was perfect, with no side affects what so ever. I changed my birth control to loestrin 24 FE, 3 weeks ago and I feel like I’m losing my mind. The first side effect that happened was extremely red dry skin on my face, which didn’t seem like a big deal at the begging, nothing moisturizer couldn’t fix. So I decided to stick it out, then my eyes started to become extremely irritated, I have trouble putting on my contacts and when I do I can only keep them on for a few hours before it becomes unbearable. My eyes become so irrigated it looks like I’ve been crying for hours. Now recently I have an ear infection, that doesn’t seem to want to go away. I have been prescribed eye drops, ear drops and purchased aveno for the dry skin. This has to be the worst experience I’ve had with birth control. The worst part it I have to wait to get off of it until I finish all the pills, according to my doctor. So I have two more weeks of hell left, if I would have known the side effects I would have never started it, I would never recommend it to anyone, it’s not worth it.
