Cipro and rash

I had back surgery in July and caught two infections from the hospital, Staph and pseudonymous. I had a picc-line put in and was put on Cipro oraly and Ancef. I got Steven Johnson syndrome from the Cipro and almost died. I looked like a burn victim and swelled from head to toe that was three weeks ago. They pulled me off the Ancef and Cipro. It took a week of me running 103 + temps and the dr. kept telling me its a virous until the rash showed up and my tongue swelled and private parts and throat started to swell shut before they decided to admit me. Then once all that was done and they figured it out they put me on impernem to kill both infections. They pulled my picc-last week and put me on Doxycycline. I have done my research and know that the two are related I asked my dr. what the chances were of a reaction again he told me less then 1%. Ha! I am seeing an infectious disease dr. by the way. Since I started the Doxycycline last Thursday I have developed hives I called the dr. and was told they are not worried about it because I am not running a 101 temp and I am not swelling, plus they don't even know if the Pseudonymous is cured. What do I do? If I go off the antibiotics I will die and if I stay on them I am probably going to die. My joints hurt all the time now and I am only 31. Do I look for a new dr.? Can someone please help me? This is the only website I have found so far where people have had the same reactions as me. These antibiotics are dangerous they need to be taken off the shelf. Thank you and good luck to everyone who is struggling with this.

I was given Cipro 500mg twice daily for a UTI. After 4 days on the medication I developed severe joint and tendon pain. Every joint in my body was in pain! I have called the doctor and they had me stop taking the medication. I continue to have pain in my joints. By the end of the day, my knees are killing me! Will this ever go away. I am seeing the doctor tomorrow, I am so upset over this, I am in my mid-30's and am feeling like I am 80! I am a grade 1 teacher and have 3 young kids at home, I hope things will get better!

Had My gall bladder removed in April 2007 and I was fine for months I had more back pain and went in for a cat scan and they said I have a Kidney stone and I was put on Cipro XL 1000MG for 7 days ever since now I have yellow liquid coming out of my backside all day and I have really Loose Diarrhea, Does anyone else have these symptoms from taking this??

I was prescribed Citro for a ear infection so after 10 days of taking Cipro 500mg 2 times a day, less than 2 days after that I broke out with a fever ranging from 104. - 102.4 for about 3 days at the same time I had joint pain all over my body and pain in my upper legs. On the 4th day after that I broke out in a rash all over my legs and buttocks area, I called the doc that prescribed me Cipro and she said my symptoms had nothing to with the Cipro. I see my dermatologist 5 days after and I find I have a allergic reaction to Cipro. So beware and always get a second, third opinion.
