Ciprofloxacin wrecked my health. Never take it! #bigpharmadangers

4 1/2 years ago I was prescribed the wrong drug, Cipro, for the wrong infection, a UTI. It was like a bomb went off in my body. I had to quit teaching. I am in bed most of the time . I continue to manage permanent damage to my nervous system and joints and feet because of it. Doctors no longer have any excuse about prescribing this dangerous drug. All a person has to do is Google the name Ciprofloxacin and find out truth about it. We are being experimented on and need to think twice about pharmaceuticals.

Missing my old life #fluoroquinoloneassociateddisability

Does anyone else have memories of their old “healthy” life come up on social media and just get sad? Or mad?

I have so much to be happy about. My husband and I have a thriving healthy cafe, grown children living happy successful lives, and a wonderful set of friends. I know most would roll their eyes at me for griping about not being able to run.

So I am venting here because I think this is one group of people who will get it.
Yes I am angry.

I am mad that a drug took away my active lifestyle. I went from a 350lb food addict to going back to college to become a nutritionist and then took up running 1/2 marathons and teaching water fitness and it was so so amazing. And now I do NOTHING physical once I get home from my cafe in order to be able to function the next day.

My customers and nutrition clients are my joy and they have no clue how much I hurt. They don’t know that I can barely walk once I get home. I smile and go through the day and then spend my evening trying to cut the pain enough to sleep. Hot baths, tea, prayer, leg massages from my hubby, praying for 2 hours of straight sleep.

All because of one stupid drug that now is banned in Europe and had the highest black box warnings a drug can have. #Levaquintoxicity

I feel guilty and selfish for crying over old photos of races. But I MISS MY OLD ACTIVE LIFE! I want it back. I feel like a bratty child for thinking ITS NOT FAIR!

Does anyone else have these thoughts? Would love to hear tips for getting past this! #Fts #Ciprotoxicity
