My LLMD thought maybe bart was why I wasnt getting better.

Started cipro yesterday-

20 min after my dose this am I got really tired, legs felt weak and I felt "off" little dizzy-does that sound like bart?

I thought those were my babs symptoms!

Might be a herx from starting a new medication. I have babs and bart and symptoms can overlap.

How do you feel today?

I felt a difference with cipro right away. First 3 days of feeling good then Bam...herxed on and off.

I guess in my experience it does effect Bart almost immediately....in the first dose or two.

Also I feel like things that were considered "babs" got better after a while

Unfortunately I did have to stop after about 7 weeks on cipro due to shoulder/tendon issues. See if you can stick with it (minus any tendon issues) and see what happens.

I think it took 5 to 6 weeks to really start helping (then I had a great 10 day stretch), I still feel better than when I started even though I have been off for almost 2 weeks now.

Hang in there.

Be sure to supplement with magnesium while on Cipro for those potential tendon problems!
