Hi, I took 2 weeks of cipro 8 months ago, started getting pretty bad physical symptoms 2 weeks in so stopped my 4 week course. Pretty bad tendonipathy / tenosynovitis in both wrists and both achilles (I did exercise moderately whilst I was taking the cipro which obviously made it worse). I haven't been able to exercise at all, at best I can do 5000 steps a day without significant pain. I work in a office and drive to work so my wrists are constantly in pain and have maybe gotten 10% better since 7 months ago.

I do think it affected my CNS quite significantly, brain fog, lethargy, general anxiety and depression but I try not to think about this too much or read too many stories as I have only found it makes it worse. I still go out with friends, and work hard.

I take magnesium, coq-10, ala, vitamin c daily. I maintain a decent, protein heavy diet but progress is just so slow and sometimes it feels like it's getting worse after a long day on the keyboard.

I have been taking bpc-157 oral supplement 500mg for 2 weeks now, nothing major to report, potential improved gut health. I have ordered a vial of bpc-157 / tb-500 blend. I am yet to decide whether to take this subcutaneously or leave it, but I am really losing hope. Has anyone got any insight? I have seen the anhedonia side effect stories and fairly disheartened, but similarly some good stories of these peptides for FQ damage.

I am very hesitant as it is a pharmaceutical which has done the damage in the first place..

Any knowledge or insight is greatly appreciated.

I have been suffering with tendonitis for 8 months due to some side effects from taking ciprofloxacin (An antibiotic). I have done a lot of research into peptides and wanted to give bpc-157 and tb-500 a go. Does anyone have any insight into ausbiolabs? Whether they have used them? I have read somewhere that their third party testing in the US has confirmed that they are not a client.

Any info is appreciated.
