Are you interested in sharing thoughts, opinions, or advice with others in the “floxie” community? Would you like to use the Floxie Hope platform to reach your fellow floxies?
If so, I would like to invite you to write a guest post for www.floxiehope.com (this site).
There is so much wisdom and insight in this community. I see thoughtful and insightful posts in the comments on this site, and in the various facebook groups that focus on supporting victims of fluoroquinolones. Unfortunately, so many wonderful, valuable comments (either on this site, or on social media) get lost as newer comments rise to the top. One way to preserve thoughtful comments is to turn them into blog posts on floxiehope.com.
I welcome all insights into fluoroquinolone toxicity to be published on floxiehope.com. Hopeful posts, or those about your recovery journey, or things that have helped you, are of course welcome. I want this site to have hope and recovery as its base. However, I also welcome posts that explore the less hopeful aspects of fluoroquinolone toxicity. If you want to write a summary of a journal article about fluoroquinolone damage, or if you want to write a post that connects the symptoms of, for example, fluoroquinolone toxicity to lupus, I’m happy to publish something like that too. I’m open to other suggestions as well.

My apologies- Siri autocorrected Lisa to kids. Lol
What I have found, since my sudden plunge into the “Floxie Community” of sufferers in August 2017, is that there will be NO help in the legal community or the standard medical community. They are all just watching their own proverbial “butts”. However, I have found that Ayur-Best Detox tea stopped my ankles and knees from popping and stopped the breaking of the veins in my legs. I continue to drink the tea each day. It is a natural approach, but it will not stop the need for me to have a knee replacement for the cartilage destroyed in my right knee and perhaps my left knee. I had a sudden plunge into the terrible world of “floxies” with agonizing pain in the emergency room and since that night my entire life has changed.
However, there is hope. Use natural remedies whenever possible. I utilize DoTerra products, which is a new way to handle my mental issues with this nightmare. I have stopped red meat for now and that helps, too. I believe it is a long process, but the body must be detoxed. This “crap” has to be taken out of the system in order for health to return.
I am afraid of the knee surgery because perhaps I won’t heal, which is another flox problem. I have waited all these months in pain, wanting my system as cleaned up as possible to allow my body to heal. All of us have gone from “healthy person” to “sick person” overnight, but I still believe we can crawl back to health. Not easy, but we can do it!
My goal is to get ciprofloxin OFF THE MARKET. There are too many good antibiotics that aren’t chemo based. This drug was meant for anthrax, not for just simple urinary tract infections. Doctors need to wise up. They feel protected by the FDA, which is a bogus community of people who pass these drugs without a second thought of consequences. It is all about money….so sad. But those of you reading this, don’t despair. The climb out of this dark hole is difficult, but not impossible…I have been on crutches since August…and my desire is to return to the tough lady I was before. Healthy and strong. Mind over matter……
