Whenever the fasciitis came back, I just used the drugs again, in hospitals intravenously as well. &amp;nbsp;The wonderful surgeon and 18 times treatment in the hyperbaric chamber for 2 hours each time &amp;nbsp;saved my life, but the doctors caring for the infection put me on a combination of &amp;nbsp;Dalacin and Ciproxin as well as Clindamycin. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thankful for saving my life I thought that after such an infection old age sets in quickly, because I am constantly in pain since then. Spasms &amp;nbsp;all over the body, muscle aches and weak joints. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;- &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I never saw a possible &amp;nbsp;connection with the antibiotics. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The doctors ignore my comments about the pain, because &amp;nbsp;I refuse to take pills against it. They think to be in pain is my fault. I resisted Vioxx. &amp;nbsp; Very often I have to use a wheelchair when joining family activities or going shopping. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have to see, besides the flu vaccination, what kind of antibiotics my husband used in the past. For five years after a flu shot he suffers from polyneuropthy in both legs, &amp;nbsp;reaching now to his hips. &amp;nbsp;All treatments in hospitals or prescribed by neurologists did not help. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you very much, Dr. Mercola, for all the information you provide. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
