A friendly reminder to anyone who has Ehlers-Danlos or has joint hypermobility (aka "double-jointed"):
*****
Avoid the antibiotic Cipro like the plague.
*****
It can destroy your body. It weakens tendons and ligaments and makes them susceptible to abruptly bursting or snapping. The effects of the drug can be long-term. My brother took it and had to have major surgery to have a tendon reattached in his thumb. His story isn't nearly as horrible as others I have heard.
