In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the personal journey of someone who experienced fluoroquinolone toxicity, a rare but debilitating reaction to a commonly prescribed class of antibiotics. Rachel is a wife and mom of 4, who loved being active and hiking until one day she couldn’t, due to a rare reaction to a commonly prescribed medication. On this episode of Cherry Picked, Rachel shares her story of how what began as routine treatment quickly spiraled into a life-altering battle with severe side effects, including nerve damage, muscle pain, tendon damage, and mental health challenges. We explore the challenges of getting a diagnosis, navigating the healthcare system, and the road to recovery. This episode sheds light on the often overlooked dangers of certain medications and offers hope and advice for others facing similar struggles.
