August 10, 2022, I was prescribed Cipro for a suspected UTI (turns out I never had one in the first place). After taking the first pill, something felt off in my body – specifically my legs and ankles. I called my doctor and explained what I was feeling, to which he replied “It’s just anxiety, you’ll be fine. Continue the antibiotics as prescribed”. The next day I took my second dose and immediately knew something was wrong, I felt a burning sensation in my legs and ankles and my tendons were insanely tight. I called my doctor again and he said it was all in my head and that he’s never had any patients have a problem with this medication before. After listening to him and against my better judgment I took one last pill before it felt like a bomb went off in my body.
Over the next few weeks/months I experienced multiple tendon injuries, leg tremors, suicidal thoughts, extreme anxiety, muscle wasting, neurological issues, and more…
I went from being an avid Crossfitter, runner, cyclist, drummer and dancer to barely being able to walk a few blocks. Life as I knew it was gone and I had no idea what was happening to me. I was terrified and felt completely alone. After doing a lot of my own research, seeing multiple specialists all over the tristate area, finding support groups, I learned that I was Floxed.
For the last two years I have been trying to make sense of what happened to me.
I’m thrilled to say that after 2 years, I am 98% better (no more tremors, neurological issues, suicidal thoughts), I am still dealing with tendon injuries that prevent me from running, but I am back to cycling, going back to the gym, lifting weights and taking long walks with my dog. I’m teaching on my feet all day and going to concerts! I am in a rigorous physical therapy program as well as talk therapy for my mental health, had two rounds of PRP and have been learning to push through this change life has brought me and the PTSD from having my life altered in the blink of an eye. My flare ups have become days instead of weeks. I am getting better and better every single day and I am so happy and hopeful to have my life back again!
There is hope. Our bodies are amazing. Healing takes time. Just wanted to share some positive news on my two year floxiversary because I know how hopeless this can feel.
