The antidote FOR BOTH uric acid and abx is magnesiumSo maybe those with hyperuricemia are especially at risk from the tendon rupture associated (boxed warning) with fluoroquinolone abx.

Have you ever tried enzymes?I did take an ibuprofen in the middle of the night.
@MeSciStill up in the air: do the bad effects from sugar result from the sugar getting absorbed into the bloodstream and creating some downstream problem, or do the bad effects occur because sugar feeds some gut yeast or bacteria which then creates the problem.
Ah yes, I remember now about Mg while on quinolones.The antidote FOR BOTH uric acid and abx is magnesium
Yes, in times even before CFS: SOD, bromelain and papain, also lactase. I assume I've always had a Connective Tissue Disorder anyway.Have you ever tried enzymes?

My salicylate intolerance cause those. This week I retried malic acid and had some bad momentspolyuria or joint inflammation
@MeSci
You had previously pointed out how some gut bacteria feed on sugar and can create acids which lower urine pH. Do you know of any bacteria that create products which lead ditrectly to polyuria or joint inflammation?
I forget now if you also have urci acid or not... Exertion raises acidity. High acidity increases urination (there is an increased need to excrete acidity).which seems to be worst after exertion

BTW I saw one GYN that said: "no infection from your urinanalysis". Other GYN prescribed me cipro despite the negative test. When it didn't work and even made it worse, she prescribed me one month of doxy, but then I left and never went back to see her again and threw the prescription away. That was September 2013. It took me almost a year to figure something out on my own.
@MeSci I never searched for papers about it. I just assume that increased acidity increases excretion through urine concluding from my n=1 observation. I might be wrong, but coincidentally I got better from 10 years of high volume, frequent urination with a neutralizing protocol using transdermal sodium bicarbonate and oral magnesium oxide.
Even Wikipedia (astonishingly comprehensive info there!) knows thatMy GP also gave me Cipro (even though urine was negative for infection) and that made my interstitial cystitis much worse.
Very wiseI like to give new things a few months before trying anything additional.
Good luckThis is one of my holy grails!
Have you ever tried K2-MK4? What is your urine pH in the evening?
@sregan do you have pH strips? If you don't, do a mouth swish with 1/2 glass of water and 1/4 tsp of sodium bicarb. If it feels good and your tongue relaxes then do a bicarb foot bath with 1/2 or 1 Tbsp of bicarb in the water.
Do you have a link that explicitly says this?
