I will keep this post short and clean. I got floxed back in februrary, experienced a ton of different symptoms. Some are still going on. But my gut health is completely deteriorated i think. Its been 7 months, almost 8, how is this still ongoing? Anyone experiencing / experienced similar gastrointestinal issues?

I am scared that one day they will give me a quinolone without informing me and i will get worse. Im just paranoid of doctors since i got floxed. I feel like i got traumatized by it. Now im scared of an accidental floxing.

I am thinking of informing my friends and family to keep in mind that in case i couldnt be in a position of telling they can tell that im sensitive to quinolones.

But i dont trust them either :D pff

It’s been 6 months now since I got floxed. For this past 6 months, all I could think off was if this ever going to end. Will I be normal again? Will I be able to sleep? Will I be able to walk my dog more? Will I ever going to recover?

Ive been to 6 different doctors. Orthopedists, neurologists, internists, rheumatologists… had to go to ER twice.

Yet, they just deny me. Today, neurology board members have seen me. Only for 2 mins. It was 9:37am when I got in, I got out at 9:39.

They asked what my symptoms were and they kept interrupting me, asking bizarre questions like “are you a doctor?”

And I said no I am not

Then they said “well do not try to act like one then”

Why? Because I said “tendon” and “urgency” and apparently these monsters who have lost their humanity couldn’t grasp the fact that these terms can be used by ordinary people too.

Their manner was extremely rude for no reason. I keep hearing this a lot. “Are you a doctor?”

Well, i was prescribed Cipro 500mg for two weeks, to treat an imaginary chronic UTI. After about 5 different blood panels, nothing could detect any trace of an infection.

I showed them the prospectus, I showed them the blackbox warnings I showed them doctor reports, I showed them pubmed articles.

They kicked me out.

For what exactly? Why neurology board is seeing me exactly? Well, turns out theres not a single toxicologist in Cyprus :D so therefore there is literally no one that is qualified to be able to say “this is FQAD”

All my tests are normal. MRI, EMG, blood panels.

They wanted to send me to a psychiatrist. Why exactly is that?

This is just tormenting my soul. I am just sick of it all. 2 days ago I went to the ER because I was literally shaking and my heart was pounding like crazy, something flared me up so badly. I was in pain. What did they do? Gave me some avil (which is an antihistamine) and they sent me home.

I am just trying not to die in this corrupted island at this point.

In 10 day, military will call me. I tried my best to document everything, kept a log of my symptoms week by week, reported my progress there. They didn’t even read it. And since still i couldnt prove anything, and since no one ducking listened to me, i will have to serve in the military. My mental wellbeing is not so good these days too because another neurology board of the military hospital will see me “this week” but they didnt even give me a date. So i will learn if im going to serve within this week. This uncertainty and their behavior towards me is just insane.

All of this stress is just triggering my symptoms even more. I dont know what to do. Im just so lonely in this. My family is not the brightest family in the world. They are just so scared of the authorities and probably think im faking this shit to avoid military. Why the fuck would i do that? This year I was just getting ready for it! I was going to the gym, i was eating healthier, i wanted to be in shape when i got there. But then this happened and now even my fingers hurt when typing this so i had to take breaks, change fingers :D

I just dont understand.. how could this happen? Why they treat me like dog shit? Why do they get defensive when i say simple shit like “tendon” :D

“Do not try to talk like a doctor”

Well, last time i checked the world tendon was not exclusive for doctors :D this is what happens when inferiority complex meets god complex i think. This whole shit is just bizarre..

I sued the doctor who gave me this med without a proper reason or diagnosis cause the doc just looked at the ultrasound and said oh wow you have chronic UTI and its been going on for almost 2 years! :D at the time i didnt know shit so i took the meds. But the case can go on forever and I dont have any money left seeing docs every fucking week!

Isnt there anything i can do? Well, i dont know.. im thinking of going abroad, seeing docs who are specialized in this field. But again, baby no money :D

Im so sick of this. Im so tired. I want to give up on everything. Im growing isolated because of all of this. I want to be left alone. Lost a lot of job opportunities because of this, i cant sit on my ducking ass so i lay down all day. Pff..

I can keep going forever but i think i will end here with a note:

I hope we all recover from this awful disease. Perhaps, one day..

I got floxed in February, had to use walking sticks because I could not walk. After 1,5 months, I started smoking weed to just “look elsewhere” because I was just listening to my body continuously and I was just frustrated that even after my 5th doc, no one knew about quinolone toxicity.

So yeah, I started smoking. I think weed masked all my pain. Or else, it was treating them. My insomnia went away, my pain significantly decreased, my mood lifted..

But i had to quit smoking because i will need to serve in the military if i cant prove my condition..

And boom! Now im like where i have left before I started smoking weed. This is not a withdrawal phase cause Im long over that phase..

This is the state that we are in. Weed is criminalized still in my country. And Cipro is the number one most prescribed antibiotic. What a joke.

NSAIDs make me worse, panadol makes me worse, caffeine makes me worse, muscle relexants make me worse and prone to just dislocating my joints..

And the only thing that helped me truly was weed. Not NAC, not CoQ10… WEED!

But im either gonna end up in prison or in the military it seems :D

These are all ANNECTODAL experiences. I dont advocate for weed consumption cause it can cause flares in some individuals. But it was genuinely the only thing keeping me sane.

Now they gonna put guns in my hands against my will because they straight up deny FDA or EMAs authority. I live in an unrecognized state UNDER OCCUPATION and this is my reality.

What a beautiful life.

My main symptoms now are gastrointestinal problems, sharp tendon pain, coccyx pain, insomnia (from time to time), fatigue, anger, heel pain, shaking (this is new, especially in the morning), muscle weaknesses, twitches, burning / electrical sesnsation especially on my right leg, balance problems (this developed after 3 months after cipro usage) and most recently, my left knee started hurting.

I have some other milder issues too but these are the main stuff.

I went abroad, seen neurologists, did all my tests. Multiple blood tests done, EMG and MRIs done. Nothing indicates these are cause of anything else, but due to “doctors not having an objective opinion” i will be forced to do pushups and walk with a gun i my hand :D

Weed? Naaah. Devils letuce! Here have some cipro. We developed this as an ANTIMICROBIAL CHEMOTHERAPY medicine. It is PERFECTLY SAFE.

Woah.. sorry about the ranting. I just needed to.

____

But at least im happier now. When i first got floxed i thought the world is gonna end. I was so depressed and so anxious. I still am anxious about this whole thing but at least I can have a laugh now. Which is great. I guess..

Sorry this is all mixed up. My brain is mixed up lately too xd

Woah. I remember some months ago, claude would tell users to go to sleep. I thought that was over :D I told it multiple times that I will continue, but after every message it says “good night” or “have a rest” or “see you tomorrow” or “you got tired today” :D damn. Even adding moon emoji at the end 🫠

Why is this lmao. Has anybody experienced this?

Well, just now I was talking with our boy GPT about how social media influences our behaviour, how these algorithms manipulate human behavior and how these big tech companies know exactly what they are doing.

For the record, I am not a conspiracy theorist, but as some internet people say, perhaps I am a noticer.

Well, then It gave me a bullshit answer like how American Surgeons Department or some weird group of people said that “we don’t know the long term effects of this” like of course “we” (and this “we” doesn’t include GPT) don’t know, but THEY know.

And the said “well -again- ‘we’ can not say that there is a secret group of people that designs human behavior, and proceeds on explaining how algorithms work and blabla. Bruh, I am an AI dev. I know my stuff.

And then I said ( AND I CAN’T SHOW YOU MY MESSAGE BECAUSE OF WHAT IM GOING TO EXPLAIN NEXT)

Well, I didn’t say there’s a group of secret elite that runs the world. It is a matter of conflict of interest. These companies collect data in various ways, cookies, clicks, ai / browser search queries, listening to mics of devices (although someone is not listening to these literally, some AI does :D) and they collect ALL of our data. And this THEY are power groups and blablabla.

And at the end of the message I said “unless THEY told you not to answer honestly” or something as a joke (with a slight truth in it) and then I hit send.

Then guess what?

CHATGPT DELETES MY MESSAGE

I was like wow hold on hold on… what?

I asked GPT about it. “Where did my last message go?” And it gave me my previous message and said “this is the last message you sent me on my end”

And said IT COULD BE A NETWORK ERROR OR IT WAS A DRAFT AND YOU DIDNT SEND IT

Man.. i literally saw you “thinking”

Now we have a beef man.. now we have a beef..

Hello everyone!

It’s been 4 months since I got “floxed” and i am much better than I anticipated. I think due to GABA and other disturbances also my mental health was severely impacted as well. I was thinking I was going to suffer forever. But here I am now, almost %80 “normal” or I am back to how I was %80

My main symptoms were tendon sensitivity and muscle pain, muscle weakness, flu like symptoms, light and sound sensitivity, hallucinations, gastrointestinal problems, weird burning sensations, sensitivity to touch, irritability and agitation, mood swings, insomnia and some more that occurred occasionally.

Now I still have some issues and some pain still. My tendons and muscles still hurt. I am still weak. I lost almost 10kgs, some muscles, there’s a general stiffness. The burning sensation increases at night especially when im tired. The bottom of my feet still hurts. But I am getting better.

And also my tailbone hurts. But nothing crazy or unbearable.

Wild run..
