I see that the effects are finally hitting the medical community. There have been messages here from nurses, doctors and members of doctors families. Maybe now the word will get out. It's unfortunate that so many people have been forced to suffer while others lined their pockets. Worse yet is the ignorant disciples who expound the virtues of the new wonder drug while refusing to see the damage that is right in front of them.
On another note, my daughter just came down with the flu while at college. She went to the on-campus infirmary and while she was there she told them "no quinolones, my parents will not stand for that". She has seen the damage first hand at home. The doctor and nurse told her not to worry, they would not prescribe them at that facility because they were all to aware of the problems associated with these drugs. Thank god! Intelligent medical professionals do exist.
Concerning the class action suit....if anyone find info, count me in. I can't get my bicep back the way it was nor can I overcome these lingering effects (after 1.5 years) but I'd sure like to see they don't do this to anyone else..... ever again.
