Flox Song Anthem
the lyrics
you keep dishing out all these pills you dont care that its making us ill ,why would you think that it is ok that your changing our dna now I WONT KNOW WHO I M OK

You turned my world around you turned it upside down it all came tumbling down
Would you give it to your mother as if you knew it could leave her in hell I dont think so and you know its the truth what did you do to those rats in the lab and your big fat back your big fat bank your big
you turned my WORLD around you turned it upside down, it all came tumbling down .
its so destructive you could never know the pain and heartache to lose the life that you know IVE KISSED GOOD BYE TO THE BODY I HAVE .The life that I KNEW before I took that .
You turned my world around you turned it upside down it all came tumbling down
Would you give it to your mother as if you knew it could leave her in hell I dont think so and you know its the truth what did you do to those rats in the lab and your big fat back your big fat bank your big

What happens when antibiotics hurt more than they help.
Last week, we ran a news story on antibiotics causing “rare” damages to people. We had a very passionate response from more than 75 people who all claimed to be harmed by a particular type of antibiotics. More than 60,000 people have complained to the FDA about them. It begs the question, how unusual are these “rare” harms.
The side effects and adverse events associated with Cipro, Levaquin and other fluoroquinolones (FQs) can be significant and life altering. Yet many people who have been damaged by fluoroquinolones complain that there are too few warnings. Many claim that doctors don’t believe that their new illnesses have come from the FQs. Worse, sometimes FQs are prescribed when other, less risky — and just as effective — antibiotics are available.
Antibiotics are one of the great medical advances of the 20th century. But their power — like all medications — comes with a risk of side effects. Penicillins are the oldest of the antibiotics and are generally safe (but they do have side effects like diarrhea, skin rash, fever and more).
FQs are the newest group of antibiotics. They include ciprofloxin, levofloxacin and several other ones that all end in “floxin.” All of these antibiotics carry “black box” warnings — the most serious caution that the FDA has — about possible tendon rupture, permanent nerve damage and risk of worsening myasthenia gravis – a neuromuscular and autoimmune disease. Here is a good article on the various categories of antibiotics and their uses.

RT said: appreciate your article! I was seriously harmed by the fluoroquinolone Levaquin, permanently disabled me with just 10 pills creating peripheral neuropathy, and many other serious problems. I’ve learned a great deal since then including much you have said here. There are tens of thousands of us out here suffering, and many more who don’t even know their problems came from these seemingly simple antibiotics!
KD said: I took levofloxacin for a simple sinus infection and ended up with immediate tendon/nerve/joint damage overnight…followed by 5 years of pain that I’m still battling…. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics should only be used as a last resort, not a first line of defense. These are a very dangerous class of antibiotics, and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Thank you MedShadow Foundation for covering this story on fluoroquinolones!
JK said: I lost my life as I knew it because I took ciprofloxacin three and a half years ago for a suspected UTI. With my ears ringing, my heart and mind racing, and my body disintegrating, unable to run; it is like being stuck in my own horror show. I alternately fear the end, and hope for it. Thanks for the coverage, Alanna and Medshadow.
FYM said: Thank you so much for doing this story, we need all the help we can get to spread the news about these dangerous drugs. I was still working cleaning houses at 78 and was in good shape except for some arthritis and due to Avelox, in 2011, I became disabled and could not work anymore. Then was given Cipro in 2015 and levofloxacin in 2016 and now I am mostly crippled, with about 15 of the rare side effects of these drugs and can barely take care of myself. And there are thousands of young and old alike that are in worse shape than me. So please continue spreading the word.
CBG said: Thank you for helping to expose the dangers of this horrific, disabling drug. Cipro has changed my life. Since taking it 2 years ago, I have so much pain in all my joints and muscles, sciatica, neuropathy, blurred vision, brain fog, fatigue, panic attacks, insomnia and anxiety. This is definitely not the way my husband and I planned to spend our retirement.

MAG said: Here is a great video about this by Global TV in Toronto, about 13 minutes, still the best out there, hard hitting, informative, the guy with the beard really tells it like it is… 
LS said: Dr. Jay Cohen was a great advocate for the FQ community. He recently passed away. His book, with a slight title change is being re-published, due to the FQ communities efforts. If order from Amazon Smile a small percentage of the proceeded will help the FQ community.
EL said: This is a public group of almost 4000 injured by fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
KD said: If you, or a loved one has been struggling with undiagnosed health issues, and you’ve taken a Fluoroquinolone Antibiotic in the past, you may have been floxed. Consider joining our support group of over 9200+ and growing: https://www.facebook.com/groups/floxies/
MAG said: THANK YOU! Thank you so much for doing a story about fluoroquinolones, or FQs! There are literally millions upon millions who have been harmed…Doctors routinely misdiagnose us with lupus, fibro, ALS, Parkinson’s, MS, and a hundred others. If you have a diagnosis you are not comfortable with or if you or a loved one have mysterious and unexplained health issues, from head to toe, body or mind, please come to this page and learn more about FQs. If you have taken an FQ like Cipro or Levaquin or any of the any others, many of which were banned, then please join one of the support groups it has listed….As a leader in the FQ community and author of an upcoming book about damaged done by doctors, I look forward to getting to know you. Best wishes to all!

Cumulative Toxicity Of The Fluoroquinolones
http://www.myquinstory.info/cumulative-toxicity-of-the-fluoroquinolones
Solid information here:
...
...
ONE PILL OR ONE THOUSAND
EXCERPT
“Dr. Beatrice Golomb USCD suggests that despite the no apparent symptoms in early courses, the mitochondria are accumulating damage. The threshold for each person is determined by numerous factors, but once you cross over the threshold, an adverse event ensues.

One pill or one thousand, for each person the threshold is different. But make no bones about it, there is a threshold for each person. A line, that once it is crossed, there is no going back.”

“Subtle Signs of Toxicity, An Impending Disaster
Perhaps you, as a reader, are new to this situation and you have taken a fluoroquinolone in the past and you believe that they worked well and that you did not respond negatively to them. Or, maybe you are faced with taking another round of fluoroquinolones and you question if you were affected previously. Either way, this section is for you.
For many, the beginning stages of FQ toxicity can be subtle and can be a harbinger of a serious adverse event to come if another round is taken. For many these subtle signs, which are not all inclusive, can ‘fly under the radar’ so to speak, being easily dismissed as something else.
Hypothetical Examples Based On Real Cases
You’re a police officer or laborer and you had a strange bout of tendinitis, for instance in the outer tip of the hip, normally diagnosed as trochanteric bursitis caused by tight belts or resting on your side at night.
You’re a gardener or a tennis player and your elbow pain was (epicondylitis) diagnosed as an overuse of your arms while gardening or playing tennis, but you remember that you had never had it before.
You, as an athletic person, takes you longer to recover after exercise. It is not alarming, and you have not paid much attention to it.
Your sleep is worse than before; it seems normal as you have a lot of pressure at work, right?

Your sleep is worse than before; it seems normal as you have a lot of pressure at work, right?
From time to time you get some small throbbing pains that vary in different parts of the body. They last only for a few seconds then disappear.
You notice occasional muscle twitching in an eyelid, or any other muscle group of the body. It is not painful.
At night you feel some mild itching migrating along your body. One brief itch here and another there. It is more intense in the scrotum or groin. Instead of identifying it as a peripheral neuropathy, you conclude that your clothes, your perspiration or the new brand of soap that is more irritating must be causing it.
You feel strange sensations against your skin, like a butterfly flapping its wings or a buzzing that give you tingle feeling. You may pass it off as being tired or over stressed.
You feel some muscle stiffness, and your range of movement is not as full as before, especially in one or both legs, but it is normal because you are getting older.

You’re used to drinking coffee and now you do not tolerate coffee as well as before. You have to reduce the amount of coffee that you used to drink.
Your memory is not as good as it used to be. The cause may be too many things to think about and too much stress. You dismiss it as getting older.
You have the urge to urinate when the bladder is partially full. When you feel the need to urinate you have to rush for the toilet.

You notice that you cannot fully flex, or strongly flex, your big toe (one or both), or sustain the flexion for more than a few seconds.
You experience nightmares or intense startling while falling to sleep and you find these disturbing or frightening. How strange you think.
If you have experienced some of these symptoms and you have had one or more previous courses of FQ’s, there is a strong possibility you have reached your threshold of tolerance. Going beyond this point could result in destruction of your quality of life.
Remember, the common denominator is that you have already previously had a course(s) of FQ’s. These strong, but often subtle, warning signs that your body will not tolerate more FQ’s. The cumulative dosage could be lethal."...
