Dan's Story

I am 20 years old now, and I was floxed when I was 15, so I basically have no happy memories from high school or college.

So for the last five+ years, I have had severe joint, tendon and muscle pain every moment of every single day. I've been taking prednisone for the last 4 years for the pain and It helps a little. I also take Advil a lot, and have taken tons of other drugs along the way but nothing helps, plus I want to be off all the drugs eventually.

I have tried countless diets, vitamin and mineral regiments, shark cartilage, plants extracts, acupuncture, massage, everything you can think of basically. So I'm asking has anyone found anything that works for this f***ing condition? Or is there any lawsuit in the works, cause if so I have to be part it!! I really hope some day I can be compensated for my loss and pain which is ongoing everyday.

My life is a nightmare everyday. Sure there where some fun times, but I can't even dream of or picture a day long ago, when I wasn't in agonizing pain every moment of my life.

I am very limited as to the type of work I can do, and as a result could not afford money to pay for any type of college. It has effected my parents very much over the years. They don't like to see me in pain all the time, and they have to help me out a lot. And 5 years worth of pain killer prescription drugs can really cost a lot, and it's still costing!

I would do anything to go back in time and change the fact that I ever took this horrible drug, Cipro. I hope I bastards who created this will someday know the pain and suffering they have caused me. And as I stated, I hope for compensation. If anyone has any helpful info for me please email me!
