I'm not trying to scare anyone but I was already heading down hill from mold exposure and possible Lyme and co/other infections. I went to the ER after I had a huge sinus infection and was prescribed antibiotics. After the first round didn't get better so I was prescribed a course of levaquin and I started get worse not long after. During treatment I felt some tingling sensations in legs. Maybe it was from the drug itself or maybe it was going after something and wasn't it. A lot of us been on antibiotics many times either currently or through out the past. After looking into this more I thought it was more of the source of my problems. Now I just think it's a part of the total picture but not to be forgotten. These things can have a real rough impact on the nervous system. Seeing things from floxie hope and other sites I would just want people to be more safe if possible. Many of us have high toxic burden and Lyme and whatever else affecting us, in some this could be something people want to consider in what's best for you or if this could be something that may play some role in getting better.

So you are thinking you did get floxed? Are your symptoms getting better?

I have chosen not to take any of the fluoroquinolones even though they’re supposedly the best for Bartonella.

The true answer is I don't know. The only thing I know 100% sure is very high mold. Also just being so chronically ill I think Lyme, Bartonella are more likely factors than not. Just like I think heavy metals are and mast cell play a part in it. I have a tough time tolerating treatment. If I didn't get floxed per se i'm sure they wiped out my microbiome more. Right now it's more detox and try to build my body up what I can than targeting specific issues like if floxed is or isn't. Ive just seen or heard very tough stories on this and it could be a possibility. There are periods throughout the day lately where I get better energy and feeling more with it in what im doing now which is dry brushing, clay and okra binders and really clean eating.

I am always warning everyone about quinolones and to reject them from the "doctors". There are alternatives. Most doctors, for example, dont know that recently a BIG PHARM company JANNSEN stopped the production of Levaquin a quinolone due to dangerous side effect of the drug, source below, do we think that its different for other quinolones? NO!!! Docs are dumbs and insist on quinolones for urinary and otitis infections, WHY!!!!WHY!!!WHY!!??? It makes no sense, there are so many alternatives, cephalosporins, macrolides,. They follow rules of bigpharma instead of FDA warnings, indeed, somedocs follow their deadly proud and arrogance in prescribing this, despite FDA BLACK BOX warnings. Even the Europe drug Agency iis warning and restricting its use, but arrogant doctors keep prescribing them. Spread the word, spread the word, print it and hand it over your DOCTOR:

The problem is worldwide
