Hi guys, as I wrote before, I’m suffering from BPH and hyperactive bladder symptoms. Some of you suggested to try acupuncutre. So I followed your suggestion and right now I’m trying auricular acupuncture. I wanted to try traditional or electric acupuncture, but this doctor I went to, doesn’t practice it anymore. Anyway, he put 4 mini needles in each ear and I’m going to keep ’em for two weeks. After this time, I’m going to see him gain. It has been 3 days now. No changes in symptoms for now.

Oh, and another thing, do any of you have any info about Pseudoephedrine and Triprolidine? Is there any contraindication about these drugs for a floxie?

Thanks L. If this auricular acupuncture doesn’t work, I’ll find another acupuncturist that does traditional AP. I’m so tired of these symptoms, I want to try anything that could help. Thank you again

A. Coleman,
I suggest you thoroughly research ozone therapy, by google. There is tons of information out there much more than I can tell you here. Also ozone therapy is on U Tube. It is very safe in my opinion which you will understand after reading all the info. The only thing I would say is you get an experienced Doctor to administer it. My Doctor had 20 years experience. It is not a cure, and my symptoms came back, but while I was having it I felt much better. I don’t know what caused the relapse, but I believe it was a nerve conduction test I had, as at that time I was feeling very well with no pain. After the test all hell let loose, and I suffered a lot up until I had the hyperbaric oxygen therapy alongside CBD oil. I can’t believe how much better I am now, and intend to have more when I return from vacation. These are my experiences and like I said before, as have others, we are all different.
As for the glutathione, I would be cautious, as it releases heavy metals. I did have a heavy metals test from my hair sample, which showed high and low heavy metals. I only had 3 glutathione IV’s as I had to travel a long way to get it administered. I also had IV’s of a myers cocktail 3 also. I can’t say the glute helped me, but it has helped others, also there is a lot of info on this site warning against glutathione as well as praising it. At the end of the day we all have to make up our own minds.

Hey Debs,
Totally agree with everything you say. I think I did understand what you were saying I just wanted to clarify it. I am also not a spring chicken lol, so perhaps together we can help each other along the way with our experiences of this crap we have been dealt with. Xx

Hi guys. Has anyone ever noticed, after being exposed to FQs , some changes in the way your skin appears? Mine defenetly looks “older”, expecially on my hands. I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence, but a few months ago I noticed I have way more wrinkles on my hands than before. Not only that. My skin in general is more floppy and less elastic. Any thoughts about that?

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to give an update, also I have a question
First, I was coming along good in my recovery. I was about 80%, but still couldn’t quit my magnesium supplements without going into a severe flare. I was always testing to see if I could quit them, but it would always make me worse. So my only steady supplement was magnesium and I was so grateful to be living my life again. Then, my son got married this Sept 1st and I drank 5 tequila sunrises and woke with a terrible hangover, then went into a flare that was so bad my magnesium didnt help me, so i took my other go to supplements colostrum and vsl probiotics. I only got minimal relief
Well long story short, I bought 4life transfer factor I thought it might help because one of the ingredients is from colostrum,which always helped me.
Anyhow, the first pill took me straight out the flare that I’ve been trying to get out of for almost 2 months! I’m only on my 4th day of taking it and I feel better than before the flare. It has helped with my tendon and joint issues, but more than that it has helped my soupy, dizzy, vertigo brain stuff really good.
My question is, has anyone here tried this supplement? And if so, what was your experience?
This is the best I’ve felt since I was floxed. I just pray it continues!
I might say that thing that really help me was being a vegan I stop all those nasty chemicals from head to toe I stop from. Hair care I even go under a caveman regimen because seriously I get acne from eating protein …after I got floxed my skin was so bad and I’m crazy thinking what to do seems like I got complication everywhere from leaky gut to headache and I look old like my normal age so I focus on healing and stop thinking about flox for three year vegan I look young 5yr I still struggle from pain because sometimes my diet was not perfect but still focus in healthy food as possible but it get better I just choose carefully those foods not has no much chemical … Even vegans can catch up chemicals I try as much being raw ..my hair growth beautiful again and skin ..and I try to get back eating protein again and I start rash again ,..I think I had problem in protein intake so I try again to be much balance this time , my lifestyle keep me busy and hope again to the point my mind was not thinking about my issue of being flox i.e. And also it gives me hope to look new and better again .. My immune was so bad every time I present new things on it no matter how good it is , it got a bad reaction ,.. So my conclusion in it was I had a weak immune due of this shit … So I try to boost it with exercise ,hope ,and healthy food especially faith if the body was weaken due to poison then you must help the immune too ,. And also acceptance is important I already accept that it happen to me maybe it will take forever but I dont know the important was I take care myself now and this is my own fight ..
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen of the Floxiehope community. I just need to share an experience with you my friends. The other day my UPS man was dropping off a package and as he was leaving he turned back to me and said that his friend’s 20 something old son was given Cipro and he was getting very sick, throwing up and his knees and ankles were hurting and his body hurts. His mom and the UPS guy started talking and he said there is a Guy on my route who was hurt by that stuff. The lady’s son was reluctant to quit taking his meds because his doctor told him to take it. Then they found this good site and starting reading and long story short his mom went down to his room downstairs and throw our the Cipro. Hopefully now he is getting better because they caught it early.
So keep up the good work everyone!
I swear everywhere I go people know of my Story and they tell hey my doctor tried to give me that stuff that made you sick but I remembered what happened to you and I made them give something else. Thanks!
I say well you are very welcome. Then they say I am sorry you are so sick and I say I doing great compared to 5 years ago! You should have seen me then I was so skinny and in a wheel chair. I thank God everyday for my life with my beautiful wife. Everyday is a good day.
I want to thank everyone here who helped me and continues to help me.
Much Love to you all!

My chronic bronchitis started out with post-nasal drip and a cough and I felt tired and turned in early. The next day the cough got worse and I felt lousy, so I called in sick. I felt steadily worse for another day, then on day three the fever started, and I couldn’t sleep for more than an hour or so at a time for a whole week. When I went to the doctor I was given a Z-Pak, albuterol inhaler (the only thing that did me any good), oral steroids, cough pearls which didn’t do any good, and was told to take Mucinex. In all, the fever lasted six days. I coughed so much I hurt my back and ended up in the emergency room because my back went into such spasms I couldn’t move without extreme pain. They shot me full of morphine and prescribed valium and naproxen. I missed two weeks of work,my friend at work purchased a chronic bronchitis herbal remedy online from Dr George,I used the herbal remedy for 2 weeks,my chronic bronchitis disappeared. am back to work,living chronic bronchitis free all thanks to my friend and Dr George .contact Dr George for your cure (drgeorge @ goodhealthherbshome .com )…. www .goodhealthherbshome .com

Hi everyone, like I wrote in a previous post, for a couple of months I was doing a little better. I was eating an 80% vegan/vegeterian diet with lots of fruits,veggies and whole grains, cutting out every junk food-sugary drink-coffee and so on, and avoiding meat-poultry-fish-eggs that wasn’t guaranteed organic. But expecially, I completely cut out dairy.
First because it was somehting that always gave me oily skin,pimples and increased mucus production, and also because I have read that dairy promotes inflamamtion.
I was doing quite good, until recently I let myself go, and I binged a little. A few nights ago, I had a pizza, some fries and a cheescake. The outcome was that all my symptoms fleared up. I again have pain in my muscles and joints, expecially in my ankles and shins, and I feel fatigued.
Do any of you experience the same things with milk/dairy after being floxed?
I started taking magnesium again, which I wasn’t taking for the last 2 months, and it seems is only doing more harm.
Does any of you have bad reactions to magnesium?
P.S. after reading Joanneg experience with the 4life supplement, I ordered a bottle of it, but, since it contains colostrum, I’m scared it could be only detrimental for me.
Any thoughts about it? It’s colostrum in a supplement the same as eating dairy?
I will report my experience as soon as I try it, anyway.
As always, Thanks Lisa, and thanks everyone. Even if I’m becoming more and more convinced that I’ll never be the same again, at least interacting with you guys and sharing experiences and knowledge is giving me a little…Hope 🙂

Update,
It’s been 10 days since starting the 4life transfer factors, and I just keep getting better!! My joints and tendons arent pulling and hurting, my brain isn’t dizzy and vertigo feeling, my eyes are better but still not like prefloxed, but i don’t get overwelmed in the stores from the lights and all the stuff on the shelves, my brain fog is lifting so good my head almost feels clear!!! I don’t know if this will continue, but this is the best I’ve been since being floxed.
I will continue to update.
Andrea, I know you said you ordered some, so please post back with your experience.

Andrea that’s not rude at all, there are sales people on every one of these chronic illness sites! But I am not selling or affiliated with this company in any way. I bought mine on the amazon site I posted, and as far as I know amazon isn’t like promoting a person or business. Buy idk.
Also, you can follow my posts on here. I was floxed 3 and half years ago and stared posting on floxie hope at about18 months out, and I posted many things I have tried, but i try not to post anything unless I get a very significant amount of help. Also, you can read my recovering story on this site.
I know how bad a floxie suffers, so i will FOREVER post anything that helps me just in case it can help someone else to stop the ongoing torture that these drugs have done to us.
I pray that it helps you at least as much as it’s helped me.????
If any of my European floxie friends have doctors who do IV treatments, will you please let me know either by commenting here or through emailing me? A friend is looking for doctors in Europe who will do IVs. Recommendations will be appreciated!

I posted this link because in the blog it talks about how transfer factors can boost your glutathione levels by a 150% which I know a lot of people on here were interested in supplementing glutathione. Anyhow it’s an interesting read. http://international4life.blogspot.com/p/your-immune-system-priority-system.html?m=1
