✨New USA ICD-10 medical code: a turning point for our community October 1

We have more than a code. We have confirmation.

Years of pain were not imagined, and for so very many, fluoroquinolone antibiotics left behind real damage, and that truth is now on record for all to see.

This milestone begins a new era. It restores our dignity and may one day help unlock compensation for what we have endured. Recognition does not erase all our losses, but it changes the landscape for better days ahead. As clinicians document patients with this code, the growing dataset will show these devastating consequences are not rare, leading to increasing awareness in the medical community and government establishments over time; all a steppingstone to a possible future code for Fluoroquinolone Associated Disability (FQAD), not just adverse effects. Let this prompt clinicians and researchers to look again. From now on, duty and compassion should set the course.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. Every effort mattered – from the instigation with the CDC, compilation of facts and evidence, to the presentation itself. To everyone in the community, who pushed, raised their voices, supported, and believed we could take a step towards change: this progress is yours.

So........

We’ve shuffled some things around on our website and added a new Find Help page with:

It’s a lonely journey. And overwhelming. And frustrating. And sad. You’re not alone.

What happens in the mind happens in the body. Being mindful of the messages you are sending to your body is paramount in your healing journey. If you identify as a “Floxie” or a “victim”, then that’s what you’ll be and where you’ll remain. Change the words you use to describe what’s happening. The added mental stress causes oxidative stress which then produces more damage in your body.

Healing is often two steps forward and one step back. There will be setbacks. What’s important is that you understand what caused the setback and make adjustments. Having a setback does not mean you are relapsing. Like the graph says, healing is not linear. Everyone is different and everyone’s healing is different even if two people do the exact same thing.

The road to healing from fluoroquinolone toxicity can be lonely, confusing, and frustrating. Not only does it cause crippling physical effects, but it also causes a tremendous psychological impact that not many people are equipped to support and help in a useful way. I’ve been there. I get it. There is hope. I can help.

These are the black box warnings that fluoroquinolone a carry. This list started in the early 2000’s and has continued to grow. Yet many health care professionals still dismiss patients who come into their office complaining of symptoms of fluoroquinolone toxicity. Save a life. Share this.
