Matt, On T. boomer's site, he states that on an average, a floxed person has to talk to 13 Dr's before they find one that is familiar with the FQ problem and...
Chris, I have to agree with you, but why sugar coat it? I think we have all been way too lenient on these Dr's and it's time to really let them know how we...
Ohhhh all too familiar....been there Chris!! And it was BEFORE I knew about FQ's.....you should have heard me when I finally FOUND OUT!! Only I calmed down by...

Matt, you are Mr. Upsidedown. I'd say you enjoy being a contarian. If we say soy causes us problems you say, nah, doubt it. If we say doctors don't believe...
I feel it's not being lucky, but it's more to do with how I talk to my doctors. My main doctor knows that I am going into medical school so when I talk to him...
Did you mention to them at the same time you believe that fasting will cure cancer? If so then I think they just wanted to get you out of their office. Hal ...
HAL, allowances should be made for those who suffered MILD adverse reactions. Also, more serious symptoms cannot be excluded and can develop up to two years,...
I never said fasting would cure cancer...? The doctors appointments are usually 11 minutes here in the UK. My last appointment I talked to my GP for approx 25...
Matt, if your Dr. is one of the "good ones" then why isn't he being more proactive in making this problem well known? 10 - 20 yrs. is a long time and millions...
Sad, eh? He was the first to state that he did not believe soy caused any effect on those more heavily floxed. Maybe those barely affected should be the ones...
Had you taken any quinolones successfully prior to the dose that caused your reaction? While digging into my medical history I found that I had taken Levaquin...

I quite agree. I don't know what the damn problem is. Is it that doctors are brainwashed? blind? in denial? don't want to be involved and so they would rather...
It has nothing to do with developing allergies. When you take a FQ, it does damage to you from the very first pill ingested. The damage is accumulative. If you...

Oh, I see, it's how you talk to your doctors. Is that it? And it is your "medical knowledge" that impresses them and gets them to sit up and take notice. Gee,...

No such luck Dave, throwing up in a hospital is not considered uncouth at all we are all used to it. We are used to it all, but I won't go into the gory...
Hey Matt, maybe you could talk to MY dr's and help them to see that it was the FQ that messed me up since you understand all of this "medical stuff" so well...
There's a little voice in my head saying, "Don't add your two cents worth, Heidi." But here I am, acting like the voice is speaking in ancient Syriac,...
I let it rip as well but somehow I don't think others in the waiting room were as amused as you might have been. I was later, but not at that moment. Last...
Yes, I still remember the name of my old country doctor, Dr. Chet. He didn't know my house but I certainly knew a few rooms of his (if he is still there?). You...
