There is a part of me that still feels like “me.” Sometimes, for the first few seconds when I wake up, I think I’m still ‘normal’ & then reality hits me in the face like a brick and reminds me, oh that’s right, I’m #floxed. 💔

Did you know an adverse reaction to a fluoroquinolone antibiotic is not an allergy.

#Fluoroquinolone antibiotics have the most #adversereactions of any drug on the market. This class of antibiotics is supposed to be used as last resort only, when no other treatment options are available.

2/ Für alle, die sie noch nicht kennen:
Talia Smith @taliasmith2021.bsky.social - selbst schwer geschädigt durch nur drei Pillen Ciprofloxacin – kämpfte sich nach Monaten im Hospiz zurück in ihre eigene Wohnung. Dort vom Krankenbett aus, 24/7 auf Pflege angewiesen, engagiert sie sich für andere.
