I took Cipro for 3 days back in March 2009. After 24 hrs, I was completely disoriented, had HUGE blisters appear on my feet (they are scars now) and lost my memory. Thank God my husband realized something was very wrong and took me to my Dr (the ER had prescribed the meds) He took me off of it, and my symptoms got better. Since then, I have had pervasive short term memory loss, loss of vision (periods of blindness), and extreme exhaustion, joint pain, and body aches. My doctor is getting ready to send me for an MRI and EEG- this is after full body X-rays and huge amounts of bloodwork. My life is not what it used to be. I have 3 small children, and I am terrified to be alone with them for fear of forgetting something crucial. My grades have suffered, and I can barely function.

I got SJS and one of the side effects is blindness. By chance did you get those blisters every where or just on your feet? I am so sorry you are going through this. I was on the Cipro for 4 wks before my allergic reaction started to appear. I am like you I have three young children at home, cannot work and they are saying I might be permantly(sp) disabled. The drug companies and dr. should be held responsible. Good Luck. I hope you can find a way to fix every thing you are going through. My life will never be the same and I will never trust another hospital or dr.
