Have you thoroughly researched fluoroquinolones? Millions of people like myself have experienced tendon or nerve damage from one course. And besides the known cases, it often goes unreported because people don't realize their sore ankle might have anything to do with the pill they've been prescribed for a cough.

Would you mind telling a bit more about this? (Where actually it hit you? How does that feel?)

On the day of the 9th dose of 10, I found that I was limping on my right foot. I've never had tendon issues but it was clearly the tendon that was weakened and sore. I also found my hand grip was weak and it was painful to even wring out a wet face cloth. Luckily my Achilles tendon didn't rupture as sometimes happens with this complication. But limping everywhere isn't fun, and even just climbing or descending a staircase became a difficult chore.

The issues lasted about 6 months, during which time I took a few daily supplements recommended in the research I found. I seem to have fully recovered but I've read about others not so fortunate.
