Coming up on an anniversary! (Twitching)

My left bicep started twitching in June of last year. It's still going strong! I'm uncertain if or when it will return to normal. It's one of my most apparent reminders of the lasting side effects of fluoroquinolones. I don't have a picture of what it did to my brain, but the twitching tells me that things changed.

I have optimism, gratitude, and so much more in terms of positivity, but I still regularly hope I can fully recover. Workouts are not a problem for me, even though my arthritis got significantly worse due to flox, and I have musculoskeletal and tendonitis issues in my upper body. I'm looking forward to the many happy years ahead, and the lingering flox symptoms will not ruin me.

Thank you!

I've had what I assume to be a sun damaged spot on my forehead. It first appeared a couple years ago, but has occasionally gotten darker. It first appeared when I wasn't applying sunscreen despite daily workouts outside. Last week, I scratched it some, and I opened it up unintentionally. The first picture is from a day or two after. The next picture is from three days after the first picture.

Despite what looks to be healing skin, it doesn't seem to completely heal, but my thoughts were that it's doing well enough to not warrant an appointment. My partner tells me otherwise. For context, I'm male and in my mid 40s. Thanks for your responses!
