I know it is so frustrating that the medical system doesnt take this seriously when there are so many black box warnings on it. 10 months is early but lots of people recover around the 12-18 month mark-so hopefully you will recover very soon!

Pharmacists do their best to not utter a bit of counseling.

Thank you so much!!! I am finally starting to feel like I am turning another corner from the Levaquin. (four years later) Most people get better much quicker, but since I have underlying autoimmune conditions, it is taking longer. I will never take good health for granted again..

I'm feeling much better/stronger. but I'm still not where I want to be. I think this is the year that both Chuck and I make a complete (or almost complete) recovery! I will talk to him about doing an update video. thanks for checking in.

Thanks Kathy! So true!

How are you feeling? I have heard from people who have taken many pills and were fine and some who only took a few and had significant symptoms, but on average, the more you take the worse it can be.

@@overcoming-togetherbyjayne3857 I have days where I feel better I also have days where I do not feel good

@@klodi841 that's pretty typical and also a good sign. I didnt have ANY good days for the first year. So the fact that you are having some good days means that you will continue to have more and more of them.

i took 14 cipro and 21 metro.

@@gaurabshakya485how’re you now?

Ugh-I'm so sorry to hear this! But there is hope, I know of people getting better after a decade. I think its about looking at each symptom one by one. although the Fluroquinolones are horrible, I personally don't believe all medications are bad. I would work with a neurologist on the burning-there are some medications that are worth trying. I found Gabapentin did help me with some of the burning and tingling. Elavil can help with sleep and nerve pian. Also check all vitamin and iron levels. Vitamin D and Magnesium are generally helpful overall. I assume you have already been to a rheumatologist, because the antibiotics can also unmask autoimmune disease. I also work with a trainer/physical therapist. I started with baby steps, but I'm finally getting stronger. Sending healing thoughts your way!

Yes, I think there should be a law that if there are black box warnings on a medication, that a doctor has to go through each and every one with you and then have you sign a waiver!

Even with the black box warnings, doctors don't seem to know about anything but the tendon issues.

everyone's symptoms are different. So it's tough to know. I might start with having a doctor look at all of your vitamin levels (including B, D, magnesium) iron levels, anemia, and hormones. If all those are normal, I would try a few regular doctors in the area of the symptoms (e.g psychiatrist, neurologist) but if they can't help and it's early on, I would just rest and give it time. Almost everyone gets better in time.

No, I just got busy-but I would like to start again soon. I also didnt have that many people lined up to interview. But I would love to interview more people with healing stories, especially from the antibiotics.

No, I just had a bunch of life stuff happen including an unexpected job change. But I'm going to pick it up again soon. I have a new video that will be ready in a couple of weeks, of someone who has almost 100% recovered from floxing after several years.

@@overcoming-togetherbyjayne3857 Do you have the name and link in FB for the support group?

I'm not sure about the group chat but if you look on facebook there are a few floxie groups. But some are really negative, so stick to the one's that seem more positive. I think there is floxie hope and one by Jason Sousa that is good. Might need to find by googling.
