I am a victim of fluoroquinolone poisoning, an adverse reaction to fluoroquinolone antibiotics (fqs) such as cipro (ciprofloxacin), floxin (ofloxacin) and levaquin (levofloxacin). If you have ever taken fqs and subsequently suffered a sudden onset of chronic neurological conditions (recurring episodes of migraines, seizures, convulsions, dizziness, vision problems and/or ear ringing- often worsening at night) and/or joint and muscle pains you may also be a victim.
Clinical studies have clearly demonstrated the damage fqs can cause to the central nervous system, muscles and joints, but no study has ever been conducted to determine the long-term effects of these powerful drugs. As such, doctors refuse to accept that fqs are the cause of their patient’s debilitating condition, which can last for years. Many victims are misdiagnosed with ms, parkinson’s, lupus and other diseases, even when their tests for these diseases come up negative.

i also encourage any medical specialists (neurologists, endocrinologists, toxicologists) to e-mail me for dialogue on the topic.
