Anyone else in this sub go from a very succesful career and and extremely gifted athlete to jobless and bedridden? I had a 2 bedroom house rent free with my company making great money great social life. Also ran,weightlifting,and practicing muay thai 6 days a week I was obsessed with pushing myself some of my role models where people like David goggons,jocko,muay thai/ ufc fighters.

Now I've lost all of that. im completely isolated in my bed, wondering every day why I took this drug and why it is allowed to ruin people's lives.

Over the course of my journey I have come to realize that I am an extreme case even within this supposedly rare reaction I find few people as bad as me and those I do find are also living within horrible circumstances.

To lose my health my job my life, my dreams my present and future, is an extremely heavy weight to bare and it's breaking me

Im 30m, I happened 2 months before my 30th birthday, and im very severe. I have every single sy ptom you could imagine, and my flox involved other drugs simultaneously, such as doxycycline, rather than fluconzole leading up to moxifloxacin in combination with azithromycin. which i believe is what made my reaction to much worse.

Im looking for other people who are also relatively young doing great and life and had it all taken away im struggling very badly im 1 year into this and as the days go by it just get harder I don't have anything ti distract me because I lost my job friends house hobbies everything.

I cant really even see a point of being alive to live my worst absolute nightmare possible everything i lost was everything to me but I dont want to die I just dont want to live in this alternate hell reality the pharmaceutical industry has created for me.

I feel as i let myself my friends and my family down, and I didn't even do anything but take a pill my doctor told me to take. It rips my heart apart.

Really worried

I have a 9 year old tuxedo cat named oreo. Im very worried about her starting about 3 days ago she started puking a lot . This isn't normal behavior she usually pukes a hairball once every couple of months. In the past 3 days, she's vomited about 8 times give or take. I would have already brought her to the vet, but unfortunately, last year, I was disabled and am bedridden, plus my family im staying with is out of town on vacation.

She'll start to yelp and then, within a minute, start vomiting

I was hoping it was just a bug that would pass, but today got me very worried

I woke up this morning to her loudly meowing and vomiting she hasn't really drank water or used the bathroom, and she threw up today before breakfast after breakfast and just now 3 hours after dinner

I talked to them, and we've arranged for a friend to pick her up tomorrow morning and bring her to the vet because I can't myself.

She doesn't seem herself she's not falling down or anything, and she responds to me, but she just seems out of it

She has been my one constant companion through my struggle and ive raised her since a kitten I cant lose her

How worried should I be? To be honost i havnt been able to clean her water and bowls as much as I used to because im very sick and I noticed some film in them and started being more on top of it but im worried she's gotten some sort of infection or something from it. I feel terrible, and along with what im going through, this is really freaking me out. How worried should I be had anyone experience with similar?

I was floxed a year ago this month and my life has devoled into the most unimaginable nightmare possible. From extremely healthy completely independent great social life career and overall life to losing all of that.i never even had an infection for the moxifloxacin I had many tests saw dermatologist urologist pc and urologist but decided to go to an infectious disease specialist and asked what they're thought on my pelvic symptoms were if they was any other tests and they prescribed me moxifloxacin + azithromycin in combination wich i think is a huge reason why I had such a bad reaction. I cannot forgive myself for taking this poison i think about the night I opened the pill bottle and read the pamphlet everyday.

I had no idea what floxing is and I wasn't thinking clearly I didn't take the pamphlet seriously although the listed side effects were narly I just didnt think it would happen I mean the doctors and pharmacy didn't say anything a quick Google search showed common side effects like nausea stomach ect and ive never heard of an antibiotic disabling someone in my life.

After the 1st dose about 3 hours later I woke up to my body trembling heart racing muscle stiff I was having some minor form of a seizure I was about to call 911 but instead I called a family member explaining I think I may need to call 911 somethings happening.

They didn't take it seriously at all said I'm probly just having a panic attack even though I said over and over this isnt a panic attack than after it calmed down they downplayed it so much I started to question if it was as serious as it felt.

Being tired of the 3 month long pelvic symptoms and it being Friday and not being able to talk to the doctor til Monday I figured I'll keep taking it wich was the biggest mistake of my life.

After the 2nd dose I had a similar reaction but this was less of a seizure and more of a the worst panic attack I've ever had in my life i called my uncle said I didn't know what was going on. Than by the 3rd dose I really started to get all of the disabling symptoms I have now peripheral neuropathy Head pressure herniated cervical discs cognition problems chronic fatigue ect.

I called the doctor the next day explained to him what happend and he assured me his elderly father had taken this dealt with some aches and pains and he was OK I told him this wasn't just aches and pains and what was happening. He said if you've already taken 3 moxi you can just keep taking azithromycin but I asked do you think I would be safe to keep taking the moxi he said yes take another and if you keep reacting than stop so than I did. After the 4th dose of azithromycin and moxi combination I new I had to stop but it was far far to late.

See with this floxing thing I think the severity had alot to do with when you react and if you stop or not I reacted horribly and took 3 more doses I think about it everyday that if I had just stopped at the first pill this would of been a much doffrent wxperience.i hate myself so much for doing that. Ive read myitiple posts of people having my reaction and immediately stopping I just was not in the right state of mind at the time I was desperate with my pelvic symptoms and I made a completely irrational decision I also had alot of other stress in my life at the time.

I worked manuel labor so eventually I lost my job my house everything. I live like a drug addict or something with nothing and I took alot of pride in working hard and fitness now im a shell of who I was and ive missed out on so much in life because I simply just didn't take the pamphlet seriously and didn't listen to my body.

Its been a year and I simply can't forgive myself this mistake has cost me every single thing in life I cared about my hopes and dreams my relationships all the things I hold dear.

I sit in bed 24/7 in complete isolation and im treated like garbage by the people around me because they blame me for being like this and even though my desicion was ultimately taking the pill I had no idea what i was dealing with.

Doctors prescribe this so casually like it's any other antibiotic when they should sit you down and explain how strong amd dangerous it is a paper is one thing but if the doctor that prescribed this to me did that I would of never taken it.

I think about suicide everyday but I'm too scared too do it like I don't want to die but I just don't want to live like this ive become everything I've hated because of these pills.

I just to run 20k a week practice muay thai hit the gym 6 days a week people would always complement me on my physic. I had worked on building it for 7 years all to become a disgusting horrible loking disheveled monstrosity because I took a pill I never even needed.

A part of me feels like the doctors purposely did this to me because why would you give someone this when they told you they had no infection already tried other antibiotics seen muiltiple specialist and was just looking for awnsers. Did they ruin my life to get the money from the prescription did they prescibe this to me because they're was something they didn't like about me ill never know. They were horribly rude to me after the floxing telling me these pills aren't candy and that I'm crazy because if I had an infection the pills would of cleared it and I don't have one.

Well that's why I went to the fucking infectious disease specialist I didn't ask for this and I didn't take it like candy I took it how you fucking prescribed to me

Another part of me feels like its my fault because was it my fault they prescribed this too me? Was i too dramatic about my symptoms ptoms at the first visit what could I of said or done differently ultimately it doesn't matter but I have severe otsd from this and I think about these things all day.

I would of went on to so great things be very succesful in my career have great times with friends and family traveling fight abroad in muay thai because id been training for 5 years to go ameture now ill just be that disabled guy with nothing never amounting to anything.

I constantly think about my life before and when I was young and all the hopes and dreams I had and after working so hard in my 20's I thought my 30's would of been the best years of my life and they probly would of been if it wasnt for this drug this happend 2 months before my 30th birthday. I spent it being treated like a crazy person by my family and friends because I was freaking out about this i knew it was really bad but nobody believed me or cared I couldn't even celebrate my 30th wich would of been a great time if it wasnt for the fact I couldn't even have a beer or do the things I would of.

This is just a nightmare I can't believe that I walked into that doctors office with pelvic problems and the result was them stealing my entire life away from me your taught criminals and drug addicts ect are dangerous but your never told that a doctor can ruin your life theyre supposed to help you.

I know this is a long rant but Im just so sad and scared ik in pain all the time i can't think straight I'm just not the person I used to be and I never probly will again. It feels me with so much rage and hatred.

I cant suffer like this anymore i can't live a alternate hell version of my life because of a doctor I can't do it its been a year im only getting worse. Ive lost everything from these pills I cant live like this i just can't.

29 great career athlete great life to nothing absolutely nothing being around people I hate because I cant leave my bed and I cant even fucking workout wich was always my go to to deal with stress. I hope the doctors that did this to me burn in hell.

For anyone in the group that has had theyre life legitimately ruined and i mean completely and is severely damaged and in unending horrifc physical and mental agony 24/7 like me how do you deal with the fact that a professional entrusted with your care ruined your life.ive lost my job my dreams my friends my apartment my hobbies everything I ever cared about and to top it all of im disabled and in chronic pain for 10 months.

I didn't do drugs, didn't drink, and unbelievably healthy. I was an Olympic level athlete always did the right thing, and now my life is more pathetic and sad than a homeless crackhead

I didn't even need this drug it was given to me under suspicion of ureplasma and urethitis. which i had already tested for both. Every day, I think about gauging the eyes out of the doctor that did this to me.they also gave it to me to take simultaneously with azithromycin not in succesion together knowing what i know now that is unbelievably dangerous and irresponsible of them and almost certainly made my chances of a reaction and reaction much worse.

No more movies,girls,video games,memories,traveling,working out,peace of mind,books,movies, self worth, having my life under my own control, never worrying about holding a job the list goes on. They took everything from me because they prescribed me something unbelievably dangerous without a warning without consideration without even knowing if I needed it.

What was their thought process? You may or may not have any infection, so here, take this it might help, or it might ruin your life herniate your spine, destroy your nervous system, and take away everything you love but take it anyway. I would rather have gotten in a car accident or gotten cancer.

I was an athlete. I had an amazing career and life, and now im an out of shape loser at 30 lying in bed day after day doing nothing with my life. This singular pill has made my life into my worst nightmare imaginable. But yeah, dont take it off the market and just put guidelines in place that doctors can or can not follow. im sure nothing will go wrong They're.
