He kept in shape over the years after being honorable discharged. He was very strong & worked hard. In 1998, he took Cipro. Around a month after taking it he started having horrible muscle & joint pain. His arms & legs started to jerk involuntarily especially when he tried to rest. He was having insomnia, panic attacks, a rash that looked like ant bites around his ankles & other things. The pain in his body was so bad that he took a loaded .38, put it in his mouth & pulled the trigger. He survived that attempt. Severe depression, suicidal thoughts & actions are another problem he had started suffering from after taking Cipro. His first rupture occurred in 1999, around 11 months after taking Cipro. He had 2 more after that. The doctors didn't know what was causing this. The rupturing finally seemed to have stopped for several years. In 2004, he took CiproXR. This is the second time he had ever taken a Cipro medicine. Around 11 months after taking CiproXR the rupturing began again. He had 3 in 2005. The ruptures that had occurred involved both his legs & arms. The doctors still didn't know what caused this. My husband was in his early 40's when he took Cipro in 1998. He became disabled in 2005. There are worse adverse reactions from these medicines than tendinitis & tendon ruptures. He has quite a few of them. My husband is a former Marine.
