I was given a phone call and asked to come back for a second visit. I didn’t know what I was getting into. I was given a pill that I had given to me when I went through some of my GI surgeries, but it had a different name, the Ciprofloxacin. I went to the doctor to ask him what I thought the problem was. He said that I had a bacterial infection in my gut and he was telling me that I had it. I had to get rid of it, so I had to try to get the Ciprofloxacin. I took it to the doctor. He said that I was taking it on the weekend. I took it for a week. I was taking it to the doctors the next day and they were telling me that I had to take this antibiotic for a week. It was almost four months ago, I was taking it. I was taking the Ciprofloxacin and I took it for a week. I got rid of it, then the next day I took the Ciprofloxacin. The doctors said that I was going to die. They said that was a horrible mistake and that I was going to die. They said that I was taking it for two weeks and that I was going to die. So they said that I would die. I was in agony and I had to take the Ciprofloxacin. I had to take the antibiotic for a week. I had to get the Ciprofloxacin to the doctors. They were saying that I was going to die. I was going to die. I got the Ciprofloxacin and I took the antibiotic. I took the antibiotic. It was almost four months ago, I was taking it for two weeks and I was going to die. I was in agony and I had to take the antibiotic for a week. I was in agony and I had to take the antibiotic. I was in agony.
