About 2 months after I was struck down by #Cipro, I developed #MastCellActivation Syndrome & was so scared what was going on with my body.

Whenever I talk about #fluoroquinolone #antibiotics being a last resort only #medication (per the FDA) the question I always get is, what can I take instead?

It is terrifying when u find out that your #floxed after taking a #fluoroquinolone antibiotic, but then when u realize there’s #nocure…
This class of #antibiotics should be used as last resort only, #saveyourself.

There is a part of me that still feels like “me.” Sometimes, for the first few seconds when I wake up, I think I’m still ‘normal’ & then reality hits me in the face like a brick and reminds me, oh that’s right, I’m #floxed. 💔

Did you know an adverse reaction to a fluoroquinolone antibiotic is not an allergy.
