I have never taken any antibiotic of this kind, but a person close to me did.

That made me do some research of my own.

Please visit:

www.fqresearch.org www.fqvictims.org

where you will find additional links.

You can also search for "floxed" or "floxies" and the product names of your medication on Google.

I have also read Stephen Frieds book "Bitter Pills".

The best thing you can do for yourself and people around you is to inform yourself and from many different sources.
