My obgyn gave Flora quinolone antibiotics for BV on the second day of taking it I noticed I was having a slight burning sensation the doctor said it was just the BV to finish taking the antibiotics. Unfortunately things continue to get worse the burning started moving down the back of my legs all the way to my feet. I ended up in the hospital because the pain was so intense it felt like somebody was pooring acid on my legs. The doctor refused to say the antibiotics that caused the nerve damage and said it must have been from something else while also not even being aware that there was Black box warning labels on these antibiotics. I had to inform the doctor after my own research that there was in fact seven Black box warning on floraquinolone antibiotics. The doctor still refused to report it as an adverse reaction to the antibiotic.
My symptoms continued to get worse a new ones kept popping up I ended up with issues with the tendons in my legs and the backs of my knees. My whole right arm was numb all the time my vision began to get blurry I had extremely dry mouth to the point where I was getting sores in my mouth on top of the fact that I couldn’t sleep the brain fog was so bad. There was days I couldn’t walk because the pain was so bad. Some nights I was so afraid to go to sleep that I wouldn’t wake up.
It was through my own research that I found a doctor out of Minnesota who has helped people who have been floxxed. Dr Hugh Wegworth in Minnesota put me on a protocol that has definitely helped me heal it took a very long time but I’m at 95% healed now. I had to go through hell but thank God I was able to find somebody who helped me. A year and a half later I finally feel like myself.
