I used to be a huge roller coaster nut before this happened to me.
Is this something I’m going to have to skip for the rest of my life? Has anybody successfully been able to ride extreme rides again after being floxxed? Or similar things?
Even Spartan racing again seems out of reach for me.

So it’s been a year now since I was poisoned and for the most part, I have been getting better. I’m able to walk now. I was starting to do workouts again and yesterday morning I woke up with what I thought was a heart attack. I was very very dizzy and my chest was burning and my neck hurt.
I let myself sit for a while and then called the paramedics and had an ambulance take me to the hospital.
The ER found that I wasn’t having a heart attack, but I have a pectus excavatum, my chest wall is pushing on my heart.
Doing some research it’s a connective tissue disorder that usually causes that called Marfan Syndrome. Asked my mom about it and she admitted that her brother suddenly died frim his heart exploding from that very genetic disease when he was younger than I am now.
So now I’m trying my hardest to get tested and possibly treated for this. It makes a lot of sense because I have several of the symptoms and I have for years. I just didn’t connect it.

Also, obviously from what we knew people with connected tissue issues are more affected by antibiotics.

So that would all make a lot of sense if that was actually why I almost died.

I don’t know if anyone else here has this, but would love to hear some of your stories if you do.
