Hi all,
Long time floxie. Been doing ok until this past weekend. Mostly nervous system stuff. Brain fog, anxiety, twitching, head pressure.
I’ve recently started trying to have one cup of coffee, once a week. I make it at home with my own fluoride-free water and organic coffee beans. I’ve been sensitive to caffeine since being floxed so the one cup always made me feel a little funny, but it wasn’t so bad that it took away the enjoyment of it. It felt safe and worth it as the “funny” feeling always wore off.
Until now. Sunday’s cup seems to have set me over the edge somehow. I had the same beans/water/amount that I always have, only this time all my nervous system symptoms seemed to get worse and have stayed worse two days later. I assume it was the coffee, but it could have also been…
Water. I went out Friday night and Sunday night (Sunday night was after the coffee earlier that day) and had small cups of water at restaurants. I do this very rarely as I try to avoid fluoride. I did not even finish the water on each occasion. We are talking several sips here. Still, after several sips of water on Sunday night is when I immediately felt that my “coffee side effects” from earlier significantly worsened. I truly thought I was going to die right then and there.
The worsened brain fog, anxiety, muscle twitching and head pressure have not dissipated for two days now.
Was it the coffee? The water? Some combination of the two?
I want to say it was the water, but I’ve risked it with small cups of water far more often than I have risked it with coffee. The coffee is the newest factor here.
I understand no one can say for sure. Just looking for any insight/shared experiences. And also venting about how the smallest exposures to every day things seem to still mess me up. I can’t have ONE small cup of coffee ONCE a week?! For f*ck’s sake.

Reposting a response to Andrea RE coffee in case it got lost on the last page:
Andrew, I think you’re right. After your relapse from one coffee did your symptoms eventually start to calm down? Or did that become the “new normal”? I hope I get back to my baseline soon.
Is there ANYTHING safe I can indulge in to elevate my mood? All prescription drugs, comfort foods, alcohol, and now caffeine are off the table. I think I’m going to try marijuana next? I mean, chances are I’ll react to it, considering my luck with almost everything else I ingest.

Does anyone else react badly to ultrasounds? I’ve had several for testing my bladder and also for my TMJ. I get really agitated and stimulated and my heart races and the skin feels like it is burning afterwards for a long time. Could I be allergic to the ultrasound gel? They keep telling me it’s a hypoallergenic water based gel. The ultrasound feels really good while it’s getting done. Is this Mast Cell disease?
Hey guys, look a this stupid nurse and her suggestions…please thumb down the video and leave a comment.
Of course I’ve already did it 😉

Some history on the way our medical system and our society was shaped by a few,unscrupulous men:
Does anyone know if contrast dye from MRI (gandolonium) can cause a reaction ?? I recently had an MRI a couple weeks ago, they injected contrast dye and 24 hours later I had the onset of all my returning and worsening flox symptoms! 🙁

Please help. I was in ER and they gave me an injection of Ativan and had bad reaction. I had been off benzos 10 weeks I knew I shouldn’t have taken it. It gave me anxiety and it also had polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol. It probably resensitized my nervous system and now I have bad nerve and skin and tissue damage from all that. A few days before I had an ultrasound treatment on my jaw and cheeks for TMJ and had a bad reaction to the gel and the head wrap they gave me that goes around my head with warm or ice packs and was neoprene and had a bad reaction to that. It feels like nerve damage and I can’t sweat there anymore and keep overheating there and getting red it’s embarrassing. I can’t feel or hear the same now. Yesterday I was spraying Evian and Avene thermal spring water on face to cool down. But I had a massive migraine too and functional medicine doctor told me to take magnesium. I had magnesium glycinate capsules from him 120 mg filled with microcrystalline cellulose powder and within 10 minutes felt super dehydrated. Then my skin and mouth started to burn and look raw and red and it looks like my skin is super thin and is bruising so easily. I’m constipated and bloated and retaining urine. It has sensitized my whole skin and body even my digestive system. It is SO dry. My heart beat is irregular and super fast, I’m short of breath and can’t sleep I’m so hot and flush. My muscles keep twitching. I can’t taste much either. What is this? Is it withdrawl now? Is it metabolic acidosis? Kidney damage? Too high magnesium? I feel like I’m burning from inside out.

Help! I used a 3% salicylic acid bar soap dermatologist recommended. It also had sulfur and ethanol. It has thinned my skin so much and it feels so dehydrated and burned. I feel like that inside too. I’m bruised all over. My heart keeps racing and I’m short of breath. What can I do? I can barely eat or chew. I got a super bad migraine and took magnesium glycinate and sprayed Avene thermal water on it and that made me worse. A couple days before in ER I had an Ativan injection and it and polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol Which think already had sensitized my skin and insides. I’m burning from inside out. I have no moisture or saliva and can’t sweat. Please help. What can I do?

Today,Dr. Mercola has an article about anti-biotics.Of course,the FQ’s are highlighted for their extreme dangers:
Ok Henk, let me ask you another question, have you always had this opinion about medicine, or is it something that you developed after being poisoned by the FQ? Please be honest

Oh, and another thing, regarding vaccines. In most countries they’re mandatory, and I’m ok with it, but then, they should make way more reserches on the side effects.

And here goes the myth that all those patented baby milk formula are better than “the real thing”,breastfeeding:
Why are people who are fully vaccinated,so afraid of those,unvaccinated? Is it,because so many vaccinated people get the diseases they’re vaccinated against? Now they need a booster shot,and another one,because,whèn vaccines work,they work for only a short while,in contrary to the immunity from having had the real disease. And unvaccinated people are only a risk for other unvaccinated people,when those vaccins give real protection.
I dó think being aware of the dangers of vaccins is very important for Floxies because of the neurotoxic substances that are added (Thimerosal,which contains a Mercury,Aluminium,MSG,and it wouldn’t suprise me if Fluorid would be added in the future,to “fortify” failing vaccines).
The nerves of many of us,Floxies, are damaged already;I,for myself,want to be very carefull with what’s left of my nerve system after being floxed!

On Mercola,today,about the rediculous way of “testing” vaccine safety and efficiency:
Hi guys, according to your experience, do you drink some herbal tea? Does it help? Today I ordered 12 different herbs from the internet, I will just try to mix them and drink it. I am curious if this could help for example with stomach cramps or digestion. I know that some of you drink borage, I have it but for some reason it seems to do nothing for me.
