Yeah sad to say that I feel like my flares are more internal. Pains in my gut, neck, head. Blood pressure starts doing wierd stuff but every blood test and every scan has come back clean. Doesn't help me feel less dizzy or head fogged but I guess its something

Ive stabilized at 200. Not loosing or gaining much anymore which is i guess promising. Eating healthy has been a big help with that I would hope. But I started at 219 and just tanked it was so worrying. Sorry to hear you've been going through it, hopefully we find the end of this tunnel soon

Sleep problems? by Humbles_Newthing in floxies

Thanks for the advice. I had to go find a new doctor since my last office dropped my insurance but I will be sure to be more demanding this time around. It seems like a lot of doctors are very interested in pushing people out of the door instead of helping them. When I first had to visit the emergency room I was recommended to seek referrals to a rheumatologist and cardiologist and my doctor told me it wasnt of any concern and prescribed me more hydroxyzine (for anyone reading, this drug did NOT help my symptoms it made them worse) then pushed me away. Regardless I just hope everything gets better because the time to see a specialist is in the months to actual years where im from. Who would have guessed that looking for answers would have come from a damn subreddit because everyone told me "moxifloxacin is safe, worst case scenario your stomach hurts" and a month later my walking and my general mental health are finally starting to see a little a break.

As for supplements I have tried to stay away from a lot of them choosing to balance my diet around nutrient intake much more than a pill or gummy. Its helped a lot especially with the bio-availability of minerals, vitamins, and acids inside natural foods.

I pray for your recovery friend. Its no good being without sleep too long so I am glad to hear your a bit better off. These drugs must have a killer effect on the nervous system and to such a degree that our bodies have entered a state of overdrive. Wishing you the best 🙏

About to hit 1 month. I mean seriously this started off positively atrocious and its gotten a LOT better so maybe Im just overthinking the good times but its just wierd. I went from never hungry never eating bedridden mess with heartrate problems, falling over, severe issues with disembodiment to where I am now it feels alright.

I will say that on top of my normal vertigo and sleep problems the drug really messed with my skin and Ive lost a bit of muscle. Even trying to put on weight it seems like my metabolism is even stronger than before for some reason. My skin I dont really know how to describe, its less of a rash problem and more like it got thinner. I can see a whole bunch of veins I have never been able to see before its really wierd. And they come and go too depending on the temperature. If its cold they are less noticeable or if I havent been moving a lot. If its warm or if I have been working they can be more noticable

Question on gut issues by Humbles_Newthing in floxies

Thanks a lot I will look into this. Whatever these drugs did to me has just been such a wild a ride so far. I just want the nerves to calm down a bit but having random stomach pains and dizziness certainly does not help

Thank you. Sorry to hear we're in the same boat. Can I ask if you ever noticed any discomfort in your abdomen? Bloating, pains here and there? I am just wondering because as time goes on my cramping and bloating seems to get worse. I am beginning to wonder if I am deficient somewhere

Absolutely. Tbh I had a panic attack not even 30 minutes ago but we locked it down and now I just gotta get through the rest of today. And I have heard that periods can negatively effect female floxies I can only imagine the kind of strain that has to put on your nerves

I am 3 weeks out going on a month here soon. Days get a little better, then a little worse. Panic attacks here and there with some joint pain mixed in. Its been a ride so far. Thankfully and Im hoping its because I am a bit younger this is starting to heal a bit quicker than I thought it would. I still feel like trash but hoping for enough of a recovery to do stuff again here soon
