One of the many frustrating things about floxing is that everyone’s experience is different. We have enough in common to know that we have all been welcomed into the lovely club of Floxies, the club that no one wants to join, that includes the benefits of connective tissue and nervous system damage, but the differences between us are vast. Some people have GI issues, some don’t. Some have tinnitus (ringing in the ears), some don’t. Some have vision issues, some don’t. Some have severe pain, some don’t. Some have mental health issues, including psychosis, some don’t. The list can go on and on. Our symptoms are not one-size-fits-all. Neither is our timeline. And, unfortunately, neither is our cure. I hope that what helped me will help you. If what helped me doesn’t help you, I hope that what helped another person whose story is on this site will help you. Everyone’s path is different though. It’s sad, it’s frustrating and it’s annoying. Please have hope though. Many people do recover. When you recover, I want your story. 🙂

Hello,
I am seriously ill with dozens of symptoms that have slowly but surely progressed since I was a child. I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars, dozens of treatments, meds, supplements, Drs, naturopaths, etc etc. I’m desperate for help. Can I PLEASE talk to you?
Had what doctors believed was a UTI/Bladder infection, was given 2 different antibiotics, Cephalexin and Doxycycline. Neither of them worked that great, Doxycycline worked for the first couple of days but started to experience shortness of breath and chest pain so I stopped. Then about a week and a half after I was prescribed Ciprofloxacin and was diagnosed with prostatilitis. After the 6-7th pill, I started noticing extreme joint stiffness and my neck was really stiff. I figured it was just because of worked and didn’t blame it on the antibiotic. But the following morning my whole left side of my body felt so weak, I couldn’t go into work. I had severe nausea in the mornings, dry heaving and it’s been around 2 months since I stopped taking it and I’ve had the worst pain I’ve ever felt, in most of my muscles and joints. My anxiety and depression has got really bad and also I have constant full headaches in the left side of my head mainly and around my left eye.
Does anybody have any ideas or possible solutions for the headaches and or muscle stiffness. I’ve been taking magnesium, Coq10, along with omega 3, Tumeric, and vitamin B. Is there any other supplements I should add or any methods to get headache relief and full body relief.
Most of my symptoms match most of the floxies on this website but did anybody else experience an increase in saliva production shortly after being floxed, well within the first few months.
I was poisoned 22 April (Levofloxcian) I took 5, 500 mg pills on the day after the 5th pill, day number 6- I woke up like I had been put in a cement mixer- left arm paralyzed, felt like someone was stabbing my arm with needles, both legs sharp pains, neck tendons sore, whole body all tendons sore. knocked down totally. I did not pay attention to the “may cause side effects” and now will pay for it dearly. Right leg now will not flex 7th day into detox.
Shocked and horrified to find that the side effects of this poison never seems to go away.
I want to thank this informative website and all the people posting about their ordeals here. One thing – I may not be able to recover but I will make it a life mission to educated people about the poison Levofloxcian, do no touch it!. God bless you all. Cheering for you and hoping.

Thank you Matt I have “nature made high potency” Magnesium 400 mg, I do not have Chelated Magnesium, but I will find some and try it. I use Magnesium oil on my arm and hand, Leg could not tolerate it.Never thought there would be a drug for a simple infection that MD’s would RX that could cause permanent damage and never leave your system. Learned it the hard way. I will see the MD tomorrow will discuss this poison RX ‘vigorously’, Hope he will listen, get order to P.T. to get crutches, Maybe a wheel chair etc.
Best to everyone suffering with this affection- keep punching.

Levofloxcian
A poison drug- think about it
Preserve your person.
I wrote this haiku about the poison drug, thought I would share, poetry helps sometimes share it to warn people.
Hi there, I was floxed in January of 2018 and after that underwent massive mitochondrial support through supplements, diet and lifestyle. I was feeling much better until the quarantine and now I have fibromyalgia type pain everywhere and an old should tear has come back to bring me much pain. I was given a couple of pain meds (non codeine or morphine because I’m allergic) and I’m still afraid to take them. Can you help?
I want to thank Lisa and everyone posting here for this uplifting and very helpful website about the effects of the poison “quin” antibiotics..
I used the info here and it helped me a lot, I am 136 + days out post levofloxcian poisoning and think I am about 65-70 percent better, can walk, do light old man kung fu exercise, some Chinese yoga, walk better and have near normal gait, tendon pain is mostly in my hands now but tolerable and off and on.I could not tear paper before, much improved.
At about day 100 I could sleep a lot better, and less brain fog.
I took (take) Magnesium, B12, B6, Vit E, Vit D, Selenium, D3 etc. seemed to help esp the Magnesium, also use Magnesium oil.
Also do Zazen type meditation which seems to help a lot as well.
Not sure how much more I can recover/ get back but one thing for sure I am a helluva lot better than I was- we all know the story the pain was hellish burning stabbing pain swelling etc. Residuals of that left now but fading off and on.
The doctor that poisoned me changed jobs left the area- no help at all after I had the reaction. The horrific fact of what happened knock me down, seems impossible such a thing can happen and there is no standard treatment plan to help people in the medical community. We all sadly know the story. I have told about 100 + people what happened to me to warn them and try to get the word out every way I can.Will continue that for life.
Thanks to everyone here.
Do not give up, it will get better, try to do what you can do, if you over do it you will know it, back track and rethink. Start again, keep punching.
God bless you all.

Has anyone ever recouped any monetary damages from their doctors after having side effects from these drugs? I understand we can’t do much if we take the medication as it shows the black box warning, however After a few pills I had bad muscle and joint pain, I went back to the doctor and he said that can happen(although he said he’s never seen anything like this before in his practice) but then he subsequently prescribed me prednisone( a corticosteroid). Now I didn’t realize it states specifically on the Black box warning for Cipro “do not combine with corticosteroids as it can make tendon problems worse etc etc). So the fact that my doctor acknowledged that quinolones can cause tendon damage, then gave me the one steroid that it says DO NOT use with cipro, it can make tendon damage worse, would that be considered medical malpractice?
Hpylori was what the endoscopy said. Soo they gave me Avelox and Flagyl .. and Pantpas is what its called here in Turkey a PPI. after one pill of each.. in a couple of hrs. I could not walk. Legs felt like heavy steel. Aching back Aching Neck Major major head ache.. had to go to ER Blood preasure very very high.. Gave me ashot for blood preasure.. thats it came home dont remember how I came back or went. Next day the Headache was so unbearable had to go to ER again. another shot for the pain which didnt do any good. Called my doctor who said ……… No these drugs wont do that.. it must be a something else.. When I told him it was the drugs. He said he cant treat me anymore. So now.. I am on my own. Terrrified of the Antibiotics for this Bacteria. and doing Natural treatment from the facebook pages as best I can. bye the way I was on xanax for over 20 years for sleep… and found out that I should not be taking fluoroquinolone with that. You would think the doctor wooul have asked me what I was taking .? this is a shock to my system.. I am 72 years old Female. and feel very lost.. Thanks for reading. but this is what happened.. maybe it will help someone. who knows.
