What's the deal on Elizabethcomfrt? I have an appointment for Thursday but am hoping to get a sneak peak of what to expect. Feel free to PM.

[QUOTE=Jd2011;7096405]Hey guys,
This is probably been talked about a lot, but I haven't seen it because I haven't been able to log in, or even view the site for the last couple of months with my cell phone. It does work occasionally, but very intermitent. My carrier is verizon. Doesn't even work while on wifi. Can anyone shed light on this? I tried downloading a free VPN app and that didn't work either. I don't have the opportunity to use my laptop for the site very often.
Thanks,
JD.[/QUOTE]I had this issue too, for over a year. Finally got around it by download a VPN Browser (I use Aloha). That's done the trick.
[QUOTE=TeeTime69;7092075]Best practice is to start an antibiotic immediately, rather than wait for a culture. If hearing a patient's concerns about unprotected sex, experience may lead a doctor to be proactive about a comitant asymptomatic case of gonorrhea or chlamydia. Properly dosed for age and weight, using CIPRO is likely best practice in THIS MAN'S CASE. YMMV.[/QUOTE]CIPRO is NOT best practice. It's actually extremely dangerous, which is why the FDA has issued 8 black box warnings for different long term potentially permanent and crippling adverse side effects. The FDA has repeatedly stated that CIPRO should never be the first line treatment for ANY uncomplicated UTI including gonorrhea or chlamydia. So, if you don't even know it's a bacterial infection that is ONLY treatable with one of the most powerful and dangerous antibiotics out there, then no Monger should take CIPRO or any of it's sister labels "just in case. " Unless off course you want to risk permanent nerve damage, torn muscles, mitochondrial dysfunction, severe long term headaches, fatigue, ete, many of which show up long after your done taking the medicine, per the insert that comes with the medicine and volumes of research.
There are other far less dangerous antibiotics that are just as effective for almost all significant bacterial STDs; Doxycycline, cephalosporins, azithromycin, etc.
I strongly suspect you are not the Doctor for this monger. I applaud you for reading the insert for CIPRO. I also caution any further reading of drugs you take. They all have potential side effects. Thank God, Viagra is 100% safe. Or is it?

I've had trouble on and off for the last couple years. VPN did the trick, until it didn't. I suspect Verizon was an issue for a while but I think mobile safari is an issue too. I use Brave browser now. Haven't had a problem since.

Forgot to turn off the VPN when using the phone / text app, and Sideline responded by blocking my account for violating ToS. They wouldn't identify the exact reason, but one of the possible reasons offered was " Using an IP address from a hosting provider or VPN with a history of misuse on our app". There was a flood of abusive texts across their networks following the election (and no, I neither sent nor received any), so they were blocking many accounts.

It's not a result of only reading the insert. I only use that as an example because that is all that most will even peruse. No, my comment is from reading the various reports of the fda advisory councils, among other privately funded research. Yes, all pharmaceuticals have side effects. However very few have 8 black box warnings from the FDA like CIPRO, the strongest warning they can give before taking it out of the market. But you do you. Take at your own risk. When you take it again and later discover you have nerve issues or torn ligaments and tendons, sudden long term fatigue or headaches that won't dissipate, for no readily apparent reason, you'll be comforted by the fact that someone at least cared enough to warn you and you'll be kicking yourself for ignoring that warning. Mongers, beware. There are optimal ways we can protect ourselves in this hobby.

What are the purposes for its use? I'm not questioning everything above, just curious.
I forwarded this thread to RFK Jr. , but intend to quiz my Doc if it ever comes up.

Some really stay on top of the research and others don't. Most doctors don't have time to stay on top of the latest research. They just don't. Also, they have been trained to listen to the pharmaceutical companies and trust the process. The Pharma companies are simply not transparent with Drs. The FDA has issued notifications to all medical practices about this. The FDA also published some stats about the number of doctors who still prescribe it as a first line of defense.
2nd. What's the purpose of it? It kills almost all bacteria. Many doctors don't want the potential liability risk of an infection getting complicated so they fire a nuclear missle at an ant hill to make sure the ant hill doesn't destroy the garden. The problem is that it aslo damages our mitochondria (among other things), which are little bacteria like organisms on all of our cells that are necessary for energy transfer between tissue.
You can literally go to two different doctors that will give you two different opinions on CIPRO. If the dr say says it's perfectly safe and he's never seen the adverse effects, mark it down, that doctor is dangerously arrogant, ignorant, or just lazy.
Mongers, be careful. Never take it as a first line of defense for uncomplicated STD infections or any for that matter. Always try a different antibiotic first.
In case you don't know what to do with the extra time!
Do people even do old-style bar / club pickup anymore? Do guys go to clubs to meet, get numbers, text them, ask for dates etc?
If yes, what are some of the popular clubs in the area?
Happy Thanksgivning.
[QUOTE=TeeTime69;7101635]I forwarded this thread to RFK Jr. , but intend to quiz my Doc if it ever comes up.[/QUOTE]LOL! On a serious note, I knew someone with a serious infection (NON-std) that required a continuous two-year dosing of Cipro. Definitely messed up his stomach, and a took a year or more to recover from the Cipro, but it beat the micobacturium that infected him.
I won't put a link up 4 my question. Area code (810). That's all I can put out.
Has anyone seen this young lass named either Jade or Jennifer B. She's in her mid 20's, 2 almost 30 yrs old? Have a date today 3 days late but she is very personable in our comms. Just asking. Life happens that's all I can say.
