    About this ebook

    Updated edition with further insights and honest reports on Gerald's enormous progress in health.
    My husband's name is Gerald and he is a collateral damage victim of fluoroquinolone antibiotics, in short, he is floxed! Until a few weeks ago, we had neither heard of the term 'floxed' nor did we know what it means, as in to be affected by severe side effects after taking the aforementioned antibiotics and to therefore become very ill. An almost unbelievable total of 39 side effects affected Gerald or are still affecting him and based on his experiences and subsequent research into his condition, this book is intended to offer both: guidance and for similarly affected people, their relatives and friends. And as a word of caution: please take these antibiotics only after very careful consideration. A note like 'please tell your Doctor or Pharmacist if you suffer from any listed side effects...' is always be included in any medication packages. Unfortunately, though, such references are apparently not taken seriously by the medical profession, nor does any advice or assistance from this side seem to exist as there is no treatment option available. Gerald, therefore, has no other option than to help himself and to share whatever information we have gleaned in this regard with others who may hopefully also benefit thereby. I'm simply going to describe Geralds experiences he went through and explain his different methods (nutritional supplements, medication, and alternatives) he has tried, in order to become human once again. However, Gerald is not a doctor, so this book cannot and must not replace a doctor's consultation, nor should it replace a professional medical diagnosis!

      FLOXED – I am a collateral damage from fluoroquinolone antibiotics

      Prolog

      My husband’s name is Gerald and he is a collateral damage victim of fluoroquinolone antibiotics. In short: he is floxed!

      Until a few weeks ago, we had neither heard of the term floxed nor did we know what it means, as in to be affected by severe side effects after taking the aforementioned fluoroquinolone antibiotics and to therefore become very ill. An almost unbelievable total of 39 side effects affected Gerald or are still affecting him, and based on his experiences and subsequent research into his condition, this book is intended to offer both: guidance and assistance for similarly affected people, their relatives, and friends.

      A word of caution: please therefore take these antibiotics only after very careful consideration.

      Introduction

      My name is Gerald and I am a collateral damage victim of fluoroquinolone antibiotics – in short: I am floxed!

      Until a few weeks ago, I had neither heard of the term, ‚floxed’, nor did I know what it means, to be affected by severe side effects from fluoroquinolone antibiotics. The term 'floxed' has become a synonym for people affected by serious side effects after taking fluoroquinolone antibiotics and who therefor become very ill.

      Based on my own experiences, I went through and then summarised the information I discovered about this subject with-in this book, which is intended for both: assistance and guidance for similarly affected people, their relatives and friends. Furthermore, it is also meant as a word of caution: please take the abovementioned antibiotics only after very careful consideration, because the side effects can be very severe and even life-threatening, which indeed is exactly what happened to me.

      Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you suffer from any of the listed side effects or if you also notice any side effects not listed in the leaflet. A pamphlet listing possible side effects like this you will always find included in any medication package. Well, unfortunately though, such references are apparently not taken very seriously, nor does any advice or assistance from the medical side exist as there is no treatment option available. Some say, the side effects last for between 14 months and 9 years – but that after 9 years, damaging effects are likely to remain (source: FDA www.fda.gov ). This is something that I as a victim am not prepared to accept, and I, therefore, have no other option than to help myself and to share whatever information I have gleaned in this regard with others who may hopefully benefit thereby.

      However, I am not a doctor, so this book, of course, cannot and must not replace a doctor’s consultation, nor should it replace a professional medical diagnosis! I’m simply going to describe my own experiences I went through and explain my different methods, nutritional supplements (vitamins, minerals, enzymes and bacteria), medication and other alternatives I have tried, in order to become a human being again. I am also going to include all the various things I now have to keep my hands off for the rest of my life as a ‘floxed’ individual.

      If in this book I express my state of health candidly and at times brutally, please note that it is merely an honest and true reflection of my situation. It is not intended to horrify you or to stir drama - it is only about portraying and describing the facts as best as I can.

      Three cheers to the World Wide Web with all the many options it provides with which to gain information about this and whatever other subject you can imagine. Yet having said that, research is unfortunately very time- and energy-consuming and you have to be economical with your remaining strengths, especially if you are sick as I have been. As an act of necessity for assisting myself, the idea to write this book was born. I hope it may be of benefit to you too.
