Are you one of the thousands of people suffering from fluoroquinolone toxicity, also known as floxed recovery? It can be a challenging and devastating experience. The symptoms can range from brain fog, tremors, and crawling sensations in the head to panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, and deep central nervous system damage. In this blog post, I share my personal experience with fluoroquinolone toxicity, and how I recovered from it with the help of a functional medicine program.
I was prescribed levofloxacin for a kidney infection in October 2018, and after three days of taking it, I felt worse. The damage was already done, and I struggled to function as a parent, wife, and person. I had no sense of decision-making, constant brain fog, and trembling on my right side. I even had outbursts of crying and had to take a month of sick leave. My husband quit work to take care of me.
I went to my primary doctor several times, and there was no relation to the drug until I Googled it and found out that there’s a black box warning. I struggled to recover, but I started to improve with time, acupuncture, and natural supplements.
It wasn’t until I met with a Dr. Hugh Wegwerth a functional medicine practitioner that my real change started to happen. I learned more about my diet and eliminated trigger foods like white potatoes and gluten-free pasta. I also started taking specific supplements and magnesium and treating it as needed.
After 30 days, I felt a significant boost, and the functional medicine program helped me become whole again.
Remember that recovery takes time, and it can be a slow process, but stay positive and trust the process.
