The ICD9 CODE is the code that doctors submit on the Lab slip for diagnosis/symptoms as the reason for requesting lab work. Our magic number is 727.67 Fluoroquinolone Toxicity code. We are real. Ask for this when having a consultation with a doctor. The medical community is getting it.

Been Floxed by Levaquin or Cipro? Maybe Fleeced, too…
January 24th, 2011. By AbiK
Floxed. Sounds so innocuous—or at least like some casually tossed remark about the previous night’s escapades—as in “yeah, I got really floxed up last night”. But to the victims who have come to add the word “floxed” to their everyday vocabulary—and who are a part of the been-floxed wall of photos (aka, Wall of Pain, see pic) on the Facebook page, Fibroquins Levaquin—”floxed” is insiders’ jargon for having gone through serious adverse side effects from taking a fluoroquinolone drug. Getting floxed, therefore, isn’t like picking up a mayor badge over at foursquare—it’s more like a badge of camaraderie that ties fluoroquinolone victims together—better not to have it.
Fluoroquinolones are part of a class of antibiotic drugs—i.e., drugs typically prescribed to treat bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections (UTI), ear infections, bronchitis, inflammation of the prostate, typhoid fever, salmonella, chlamydia, pneumonia, etc…so chances are, either you or someone you know has been prescribed a fluoroquinolone at some point. Fluoroquinolones are more commonly known by some of the brand names that get prescribed: Levaquin, Cipro, Floxin, Avelox, Noroxin, Tequin.
So what is getting floxed all about? How do you know if you’ve been floxed?
In 2008, the FDA added a black box warning to Levaquin, Cipro, Avelox and all fluoroquinolone-class drugs. The black box warning is for risk of tendon rupture and tendinitis—the FDA alert (7/8/2008) stated:
Fluoroquinolones are associated with an increased risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture. This risk is further increased in those over age 60, in kidney, heart, and lung transplant recipients, and with use of concomitant steroid therapy. Physicians should advise patients, at the first sign of tendon pain, swelling, or inflammation, to stop taking the fluoroquinolone, to avoid exercise and use of the affected area, and to promptly contact their doctor about changing to a non-fluoroquinolone antimicrobial drug.
The Levaquin stories we hear at LawyersandSettlements.com are real and heart-breaking—and for those who have been floxed, they are life-altering—and not in a good way. The victims who’ve started to band together on Facebook share their stories of lives shattered and forever changed: cane-assisted walking, wheelchairs, numbness, burning sensations, cramps and worse.And those who’ve been floxed are angry—at the FDA, at their doctors, at the pharmaceutical companies. Sure, they can try to file a lawsuit against Levaquin or Cipro—that’s what I’d be doing—but doing so won’t bring back their lives. And as such, one can only wonder if getting floxed is really akin to getting fleeced.

I do not feel the word "floxed" is suitable. Reminds me of groupies... I would say we are VICTIMS as people who have become VICTIMS to these God awful antibiotics did not have to have their lives destroyed...Had the FDA and drug companies done their jobs and there not be a conflict of interest, many people would be enjoying their life...NOT THE HELL FROM THE ADVERSE DRUG EFFECT OF THESE ANTIBIOTICS. They only care about the money...Levaquin is on the speed shelf in the pharmacies....Where is there justice??? I want my life back!!! NOW............Amen.

I was given Cipro and/or Levaquin a few times over the years, starting with (probably) my very painful and complicated back surgery about 2003. The day before surgery the lab uncovered a UTI and slapped me with big doses of (I think) levaquin. I am 73 years old and my contemporaries don't have the troubles I have. My knee replacements -- the right one required 4 surgeries and still is very weak, the left one is better but both of them hyperextend with no warning and occasionally the knee(s) slip forward. This makes me very prone to falling. I have lost biceps ligaments in both arms. My neck fusion has given way and now the top fused vertebra has slipped forward and rests against my spinal cord. My back surgery has finally begun to go to pot and the sciatica, etc. has returned. In other words, I'm in a wheelchair and unable to do much around the house. My husband is fighting Multiple Meyloma and if it weren't for a couple of our children who live in town I don't know what we'd do. I have entered a lawsuit (not a class-action suit but with a group of other victims.) This has been dragging along for abut 3 years -- maybe this is normal, but I'm in a wheelchair and in pain all the time. I'm not much help to my husband. I also have Charcots disease and I may lose one or both feet as a result of the collapse of the ligaments in my feet. I know there isn't anything you can do for me but I just wanted to add my story to all the others out there. I'm trying to keep what my mother called a "stiff upper lip" but my life isn't very much fun and I don't expect it to get any better. I hope I get a lot of money out of the lawsuit but I doubt it.
I am 55 years old this week. I've been battling severe muscle fatigue and muscle pain and twitching since 2004. Been through Mayo and spent tens of thousands of dollars. Doctors look at me like a deer in the headlights. Finally put 2 and 2 together after talking to my cousin. He had ruptured his bi-cep from cipro. Told me how ill he had been with weakness and fatigue and muscle pain. I told him I'd been sick for 5 years without any diagnosis. I went back and looked at my history and found out I had taken levaquin a month before getting sick and had taken levaquin and cipro at least 8 times since in the last 5 years and was currently taking it for a sinus infection. I had never put the 2 together. I immediately quit taking it but the damage was done and I'm very fearful it's permanent. It's been three years and the symptoms have worsened. I'm on oxycontin for 2 years and have been suffering with the poisoning ever since. The depression and disappointment of being immobile is the worst. I can never plan anything and am in constant pain and anxiety. I was a jock growing up and a body builder in my my early 40's. Now I can barely walk across the backyard and have had to give up golf, hunting, shooting hoops, anything physical. People look at me and say "you look fine". It's hard for them to understand. This has to stopped to prevent others from the same fate. God help them.
My floxing happened in a hospital- ADR started within hours - burning at IV port, then I could not walk, burning pains all over, blood clouts in nose, told nurses, they saw. Then I apparently started coding because they were running into my room - rapid heart rate, respiratory failure, wasting, etc. My doctors knew. They gave me 600 mg predinsone, NSAID's, blood thinners and antacids, depressants. I am profoundly deaf, no one is sharing what drug I was given nor why they are running into my room. Upon release, I who arrived with no pre existing conditions and on no meds, physically active, working, am now crippled, burning pains all over, purpura up and down my arms. I ask why - the doctors say bad pneumonia. It got much worse at home, no 2000 mg's of pain meds - I am scared I am dying of some strange exotic disease they did not catch. Finally I demand and am refused my med records - long story, long fight but I got them - looked up levaquin - it's all there. All doctors deny, new docs deny - hospital deny, every watch dog group I contact tell me - Levaquin is not black boxed and no drugs given concommitant to be worried about.....pretty big stone wall. The hospital even refused to correct my age as it is one year off - said they read the records and it's right...there is a little humor in that - hm, I know my birth date(only off by one year but they refuse to take my word). There were three days of some doctor scribbling all my failures into the record - this must be a profitable drug, at the cost of how many ruined, crippled patients and even deaths. I now know why a lot of ADR's are not reported - any govm't health care agency will refuse to review and will refuse to have you surveyed as required after a review. I want to take my records to a real attorney - know of one? I have lost the use of my left arm and hands - Ortho says tendinitis and most likely rupture, does not know why though, clueless about Levaquin. I can't work, drive, cook, walk my hearing dog, days are filled with nothingness - depressing and stress full. Wish it were not so and wish we could stop the maiming not to mention the deaths. I am 10 months out and feel like I can't face another day. You would be shocked if I told you how high I went with this and am told levaquin is safe and effective and, drum roll please, "standard of care" - I am over 60 not by much but it is mentioned. Standard of care is not giving a drug that is warned against giving a certain patient and certainly not with that poisonous soup of concomitant drugs that guarantees intensifying excruciating pains of ADR's. Standard of death more like it - if you don't die, you sure wonder if it would not be better. But, I'm not a professional board certified health care given. Like to warn people but seems like they can't wrap their head around it til it happens to them.
Sad and unnecessary. PN pain burning like nothing I could ever imagine - I can no longer tolerate an injection or have more blood drawn. I am in more pain after a doctor's appmt - tests for range of motion and then be told they are clueless, lets do more tests....they all deny levaquin. It seems like they get permanent patients to run tests on an refer to a huge range of specialists. I went through that 8 months ago.
But, I do have torn shoulder/rotator cuff, tendinitis and PN. I have a ProntoIII to race down the driveway in to feel like I am free again. I can't propel a non motorized one.
Lsst word, I don't feel the FDA has American citizen's safety in mind anymore.

I too agree with all of you, I am only 34 years old and have suffered tendon ruptures in BOTH ankles. I can not walk without braces and have already went through reconstruction surgery on the left. The injury has also caused back issue's that has required spine injections. I can not do much to care for my 3 children so it puts much added stress on my husband. I was never told about any side affects in the hospital before they gave me the medicine. In short my life will never be the same and me and my family suffer because I took cipro. It is so unfair and I can not find a lawyer to help.
---------------------
I have torn my rotator cuff almost totally off requiring extensive surgery of two orthopedic surgeons with repeated tears since. I have also torn both hamstrings, have extreme depression, along with extreme pai . Please help me find an attorney to help me.
---------------------------------
I know everyone on the above page, I am a victim as well. TWICE, It took me six years to recover from my first Levaquin and my second experience (14 months ago) made the first pale in comparison. No one can get legal help because the truly horrific symptoms are not recognized but an achilles heel tear is. What I wouldn't give for an achilles heel tear in trade for what Levaquin has done to me and everyone you see pictured on the above page. Our continual pain and suffering can not be documented on an x ray so there is no legal assistance for the unbearable pain of head to toe peripheral neuropathy, central nervous system damage, neuropsychotic damage, anxiety and depression, joint pain and swelling, not to mention the wide array of autoimmune disorders that have been triggered because all hell broke loose when we were given this Napalm of antibiotics. The worst part, not one person I have ever had contact with had a diagnosis that warranted the use of a drug that was designed for anthrax.
--------------------------
I was given Cipro in 2002 for a bladder infection post hysterectomy. In 2004, I had the severe lung infection, ARDS, was hospitalized for 2 months, and during that time was given Levaquin as one of the antibiotics. Afterwards, again put on Cipro for infected bedsores (I was only 51). It's been 7 years, but I still suffer from peripheral neuropathy, joint swelling, and overall pain. My life has been turned topsy turvy. I haven't had a good night's sleep since then. My symptoms have stumped doctors, leading them to not believe me. Until today, I had no idea that my symptoms could have been caused by these drugs. I just wish there was a way to reverse all the damage.
---------------------
I took 4 pills cipro in Feb 2007 and have gone from an active healthy mom who exercised regularly to walking with a cane. I have had right hip surgery for a labral tear, cns, pns, autonomic and sympathetic nervous system, hearing, vision, and tendon damage. Not to mention temperature sensitivity, collagen degeration, digestion issues, candida overgrowth and the list goes on and on. I have spent well over $10,000 trying to improve my health and have heard over and over from Drs that a medication could not do this. Yet not one of those Drs could firmly diagnose what caused my health problems. Until the medical community recognizes this class of drugs can harm people we are on our own as far as trying to recover.
------------------------
Please read this with careful consideration. On November 17, 2011 I was prescribed Levaquin 750mg for 7 days for a suspected kidney infection. Four days into taking the generic of this drug, I had a severe allergic reaction and severe side effects. My allergic reaction was loss of breath and throat closure. My side effects were and some still are: hives, severe back and abdomen pain, burning sensations in skin/throat/esophagus/sinuses/eyes, high blood pressure with rapid heart rate, head and ear pressure and ringing, joint/muscle/tendon pain and popping, panic attacks and anxiety, short term memory loss (brain fog), insomnia and nightmares when I was able to sleep, water retention and swelling in hands and feet, tingling sensation in hands and feet, extreme fatigue, kidney pain, and painful headaches. My three children, ages 4, 5, and 9, have had to watch their mother become a zombie who could not even care for herself let alone them. Who had to have their grandmother come and take care of them for 2 weeks straight, because their mother could not manage to think at all or get up and do anything. Please help take this poison off the market for good! Thank you so much.

I was prescribed Cipro in late March of 2011. I immediately felt some weakness in my left leg in between the second and third doses. For the next three days that was mostly my only physical side effect. I was also experiencing nightmares and night sweats but did not attribute those to Cipro. Day 4, was a Friday and I was eating lunch with some coworkers. I started feeling immense pain all throughout my left leg, upon trying to get up to leave I was unable to. Pain level was at a 9 out of 10 consistently after that. Body felt like it would rip in multiple places. I got a lot of paralysis in my arms as well as my fingers. Sleeping became non-existent as my knees felt like they would explode at night and both Achilles felt as though they were seconds from tearing. The pain was unfathomable. 9 months later still in extreme pain and living is just surviving.
--------------------------
I was just prescribed Cipro last week end..I woke up 2 days after starting this drug with such severe hip pain thatI could hardly walk, I have mild osteo disease in that hip but it has not hurt in over 5 yrs since I quit the work that I was doing however it NEVER hurt like this before, I was sitting on my couch today (because that is about all I can do) and my toes started to hurt, my arms and legs feel like they weigh a ton........Good Lord no one warned me about this stuff..
------------------
my wife was diagnosed with a UTI, was allergic to levaquin,, sent home suffering a stroke that was missed inn diagnois in ER nuerolagist showed me she was having a stroke when sent home 1 day after admission. I was to calla the doctor if medicine for UTI was not working, called him and gave prescription for levaquin 500 MG. Gave her two doses, got worse each day, ended up with a horibal sscerne in the bathroom,back to hospital where the neurologist said the horse was out of the barn and he could nothing to stop it she lost sight, lost abillity to talk and finally died 2/18/12. I have it in the hands of myj attorney, and we see what happens, will advise
------------------------
I took Levaquin for 9 days for Bartonella and each day the tendons in my Achille's heel got worse and worse until I could barely walk at all. I stopped the Levaquin after learning it could be related, but the pain did not stop. I was in severe pain for about 9 months. It finally started to clear but it would recur over and over again, and it still does. The achilles tendons will get sore and stiff, achy and I will have trouble walking. The pain is there even when I am just laying in bed. It affected my knees too and that recurs on and off as well making it hard to walk and extremely hard to climb stairs, and my knees give out too.
--------------
I was on Cipro for 2 months and found out I got a stress fracture. They are blaming it for the breakdown of hte muscles supporting the bones in my foot. It took a longer recovery do to the Cipro in my system once I stopped it. I also experinced severe muscle cramping too. I was on it for Lyme Disease.
-----------------------------
A year after taking Cipro, I suffer from irregular heartbeats, oversensitive to light, cracking joints, insomnia. The official warning says less than 5% of users suffer bad effects. That is a lie - I know two people who took it and BOTH suffered bad effects.
--------------------
....Sponsored by: Stevens-Johnson Syndrome Foundation The FDA should implement a mandatory adverse drug reaction reporting system by physicians and hospitals of all cases of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN)
- Less than 1 percent of adverse drug reactions are reported to the FDA.
Over 200 thousand people each year die from adverse drug reactions but the cases are probably higher due to a lack of reporting.
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome does not discriminate and can happen to anyone.Collin Smythe heeft een link gedeeld.

EN MOET BIJ DE ENDOCRINOLOGE
Natriumfluoride
Eind jaren 1990 deed Dr. Jennifer Luke van de Universiteit van Surrey onderzoek naar het effect van natriumfluoride op de pijnappelklier. Ze stelde vast dat de pijnappelklier natriumfluoride als een magneet aantrekt en absorbeert. Vervolgens treedt calcificatie op als gevolg waarvan de hormoonhuishouding
verstoord raakt.
De pijnappelklier, ook wel epifyse, glandula pinealis, epiphysis cerebri of derde oog genoemd, is een endocriene klier in het brein.
Deze klier produceert melatonine uit serotonine, een hormoon dat invloed heeft op het slaap-waakritme en het voortplantingsritme.
De kleine klier in de vorm van een pijnappel bevindt zich dorsaal van het corpus callosum (de hersenbalk) en aan de bovenkant van de derde ventrikel. Bij hogere gewervelde dieren heeft het zich ontwikkeld uit het zogeheten derde oog.

24 juli 2008 - Beperking gebruik moxifloxacine !!! ( Avelox )
Moxifloxacine bevattende geneesmiddelen voor oraal gebruik mogen alleen in bepaalde gevallen worden voorgeschreven. Dit heeft het Europese agentschap voor geneesmiddelenbeoordeling EMEA geadviseerd na een herbeoordeling van de veiligheid van moxifloxacine.De EMEA concludeert dat moxifloxacine bevattende middelen voor oraal gebruik uitsluitend mogen worden gebruikt bij acute bacteriële sinusitis en acute exacerbaties van chronische bronchitis wanneer andere antibiotica niet gebruikt kunnen worden of hebben gefaald. Bij buiten het ziekenhuis opgelopen longontstekingen mogen ze uitsluitend worden gebruikt wanneer andere antibiotica niet gebruikt kunnen worden. Tevens wordt geadviseerd de waarschuwingen in de samenvatting van de productinformatie aan te scherpen.
Moxifloxacine is een fluorchinolon. Het wetenschappelijke comité van de EMEA, de CHMP[1], waarin ook het CBG is vertegenwoordigd, heeft alle beschikbare informatie over de veiligheid van moxifloxacine-bevattende oprale middelen opnieuw bekeken. Aanleiding hiervoor waren zorgen over de veiligheid voor de lever bij het gebruik van deze middelen in de hiervoor genoemde indicaties.
Meer informatie staat in het EMEA-persbericht m.b.t. orale, moxifloxacine bevattende geneesmiddelen en het document 'Vragen en antwoorden over het advies om het gebruik van orale toepassingen van moxifloxacine bevattende geneesmiddelen te beperken'.

Adverse reactions to fluoroquinolones may occur almost anywhere in the body. In addition to occasional unwanted effects on the musculoskeletal, visual and renal systems, the drugs in rare cases can seriously injure the central nervous system (causing “brain fog,” depression, hallucinations and psychotic reactions), the heart, liver, skin (painful, disfiguring rashes and phototoxicity), the gastrointestinal system (nausea and diarrhea), hearing and blood sugar metabolism.
The rising use of these potent drugs has also been blamed for increases in two very serious, hard-to-treat infections: antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (known as MRSA) and severe diarrhea caused by Clostridium difficile. One study found that fluoroquinolones were responsible for 55 percent of C. difficile infections at one hospital in Quebec.
