Barbara Arnold, you say that ozone has helped you? When were you floxed and how severe was it? Did you have joint, cartilage, tendon issues? What were your major symptoms?
I haven’t been on this site in awhile but I thought I would check in as I have continued to get worse not better over the years despite trying many things. My connective tissue unbelievably gets worse and worse. It has spread like cancer throughout my body. Has anyone been able to improve their connective tissue on here and if so please tell me what has helped you.
Thanks

DTrump is new president, maybe worth to send him letter,
letter about our pain and dangerous of fluoroquinolones.
He looks like strong enought to do sth with fda.
Last fda warning is not enought – this drug should be
for lifeORdead only.
Doctors in emea still dont know nothing
about fq devastation, in usa bayer sent a letter so you have a lucky.
Im 20months out from 30cipropol pills, weak, exhausted,
numbness in extremites, barely leave the flat, pain…
my life is broken, never the same. My symptoms worst with the time,
i have delayed severe reaction this poison,
im afraid of thencamemichael.com fate.

Hi, i was floxed 7 years ago, recovered about 70%, symptoms that remained were fatigue and trouble sleeping, but my sleep was not bad. Four months ago i got herpes and i have had sleep myoclonus since then, when i drift off to sleep, an electric jerk wakes me up, this happens throughout the entire night, I took melatonin at first and it worked a little bit, but after a 6 weeks the effect woreoff, i have been taking magnesium chloride and it makes me very lethargic but on its own, it does not eliminate the myoclonic jerks.
I acquired cannabis buds and i began to eat a little bit (two grams) in the afternoon, it helped also but it is very unpredictable, so i made a tea with it and have been sipping some here and there to find a balance and get to sleep.
I go to bed at 8 and lay in bed, the high keeps my mind awake and as soon as it wears down i begin to get drowsy and as soon as my body goes into a pre sleeping phase the jerks begin, they will last until i am completely exhausted and then i fall asleep from the exhaustion at about midnight,
But the sleep is not a deep sleep, it is an exhausted sleep mixed with jerks all night long, and i wake up about four hours later completely exhausted, i changed my diet and i am on a no salt and no sugar diet, fruits and vegetables, fish and liver steamed with rice.
I drink mint tea and water with probiotics.
My condition is very cirtical, i am hanging by a thread, it is morning right now and i am exhausted as i write this, similar as to how i was when i first got floxed.
My main problem is the sleep myoclonus, the jerks are draining my soul away.
My quesiton is this, i have never taken prescription drugs after my floxing, except for the acyclovir at the beginning of the herpes.
I am thinking about taking Clonazepan (a benzo) i have read a lot on it, about its addictive nature, i don´t plan on taking it everyday, maybe once a week just to get some sleep.
please advise me or give me comments on this situation,
thank you kindly.

Hi All,
I have a question
1- I took just one tablet of Avalux only do I like the one taking four pills?
2. What are the expectations of the recovery time for the one who took only one pill !! Before one year
3-Are there cases left magnesium? And when I stop taking magnesium is it along
4. Is there a type of alcohol that we can drink?
5. Is there even one case of 100% recovered and whether the magnesium suspended or continued to take him forever?
thank you you are already a family for me.

Also this one, again, always bearing in mind my comment above .
One reason I am myself so opposed to taking ANY allopathic drug myself, with er prescription or OTC unless I have no other choice, either due to the fact that their is no natural alternative for the condition I have & / or I would die with out the use of one, is because SO many of them damage mitochondria, & also the fact that I have done deep research into Big Pharma & the connected issues for many years, I have come to the conclusion myself that all allopathic drugs are too unsafe for me to take, they all cause damage at some level when taken, disturb homeostasis & I personally do not wish to voluntarily add yet more poison If I can avoid doing so to my already damaged systemically poisoned at a DNA mitochondrial level body & brain.
This of course is my own decision, my personal choice, based on my own research.
For anyone interested, here you can find further information including the withholding of information on this particular subject.
So great uncertainty about my body after fq poison.

Hi Barbara Arnold
Did the pain from the nerve test subside or do you still suffer from it? I read someone’s comment that they had s bad reaction as well.

Hi Everyone,
Just an update on the Vitamin Patch.
Today is day 9 since starting the patches.
My plan to alternate the Multi Vitamin Plus and the Kids Multi with Omegas isn’t working to well. I seem to get great relief with the Multi Vitamin Plus, but I can’t wear it 2 days in a row because of what I think is a reaction to the high B vitamins which has always given me bad reactions since 2008 when I was sick for a year and a half from Levaquin, (I didn’t know about FQ’s then), and the Kids patch sometimes helped and sometimes I seemed worse??
I tried putting it on and off if it got too strong like Ryan suggested, but it was frustrating because I could never get it right.
Anyhow, I knew something in the Multi Vitamin Plus patch helped me tremendously. So I thought maybe it was because of the high magnesium in it (500mgs) plus I continued to supplement magnesium while on the patch.
So the last 2 days I didn’t wear a patch, I just increased my morning magnesium from 140mgs to 500mgs!!! (I used 250mgs of oral supplement and 250mgs magnesium oil spray). Usually I take 140mgs orally every 4 hrs which I did continue after my morning dose of 500mgs.
This has given me great relief from all my symptoms so far.
As far as the patches go, I think if I didn’t have an issue with B vitamins I would continue to use them for the benefit of all the vitamins and minerals in it and the convenience of it. But unfortunately I’m not able to do that.
So basically I’m back to my same 3 supplements; magnesium, colostrum and probiotics but with an increase of my morning dose of magnesium from 140 to 500 mgs.

I don’t have many people to talk to but I feel I need to talk. My depression,anxiety, and brain fog have worsened so bad latley. I can’t do thi anymore I’m only 26 and I wake up everyday feeling worse and wanting to die. I can no longer be positve I can no longer pull myself out of it I simply have nothing to live for. I can’t leave my house what kind of life is that. I haven’t even been able to have kids or have a fanily yet start my carrier. At this point I truly feel I’m hopeless and there is no reason to continue. I can’t focus on anything or even do little things around the house. I’m simply a vegetable laying here waiting to die. Many people I talk to say the neurological symtoms never go away and I just refuse to live this way. I’m sorry this is so hopeless,sad, and depressing…just needed someone to know.

Hi Lisa, I’m writing again. Desperate to talk to you. I’m feeling so defeated after taking prednisone. My symptoms have returned after almost none for 2 years. Not sure what to do next. It’s cns issues mostly. Maybe thyroid? High blood pressure, elevated liver. I’m so damn mad.

Danie’l you should be very careful when using glutathione because some people have been seriously injured so in some people it mobilizes heavy metals like mercury, you should avoid this
