#NeverWouldHaveThought
Â
I never would have thought that one would be left at home, seriously ill, without help.

I would never have thought that children have to suffer in the dark at home, that relatives would be mocked at the same time, instead of doctors providing help.

I never would have thought that #MEcfs sufferers had to fight so much and actually become a political issue.

I never would have thought that in addition to #MEcfs, devastating illnesses such as #SmallFiber #POTS #MCAS, CranioCervical Instability #CCI #Lyme #PostVac and poisoning by #fluoroquinolones #FQAD would also be swept under the carpet in the so-called healthcare sector.

Du neuf sous le soleil – brûlant – des #fluoroquinolones. En 2020, je me penchais sur les effets secondaires parfois catastrophiques d'antibiotiques massivement prescrits en Belgique, souvent pour un usage non indiqué. Ciprofloxacine, lévofloxacine ou moxifloxacine. Thread
Outre les ruptures et dégradations des tendons, ces antibiotiques exposent aussi à des risques neurologiques, cardiaques et même des anévrismes de l'aorte. Des antibiotiques tueurs en série ?
Des associations de victimes tiraient la sonnette d'alarme, des restrictions d'usage étaient adressées aux médecins par les autorités sanitaires. Avec quels effets? L'Agence européenne des médicaments (EMA) a mené une vaste étude sur le sujet. Ses résultats sont édifiants
