I created this inked illustration about my experience with a pharmaceutical injury. It resonated with my community, and was turned into a popular sticker by WhattheFlox.com to raise awareness for Fluroquinolone Toxicity. Below is what I wrote about my experience.
“For me, Fluroquinolone Toxicity Syndrome feels like hundreds of tiny car crashes happening inside the body, resulting in pain, tendon damage, and muscle loss. Over time, the crashes have become less massive, but I’m still waking up to pain in new places that could last hours to days.
Please be careful, friends. Trust your body and your intuition, don’t let anyone tell you that it’s all in your head.“
