Trying to recover from a c. diff infection (Clostridium difficile)

Oh sorry I read someone said I was horrible not honorable xo

I didn't demean anyone

Quinolones have caused major problems for many people. It has been prescribed for everything under the sun- it worked very well. I think there is a black box now on those drugs. I took Cipro often for GI infections but developed Achilles tendinitis in both ankles. It took a long time to heal.
Hope the disability hearing goes well.

@cupcake420 I need to clarify I never called you "not honorable". I wish you nothing but the best.

Hi @cupcake420,

I'm so sorry to hear this. As moderator of this group, please allow me to reassure you that as a Connect member, you are an integral part of the Connect community. What occurred was unfortunate, and simply the misinterpretation of a remark, but I do understand your point of view, and how you feel.

@itsohard, each of us finds value in Connect in different ways, and we cannot demean one another for the way another member uses Connect. Please know that personal attacks are not tolerated on Mayo Clinic Connect as per our community guidelines: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/community-guidelines/

Community members should feel safe, which is why we monitor the conversations and rely on community members like yourself to call attention to something. However, as a moderator, I want to communicate in a clear and professional way each time I put something in public view as it is a reflection of myself, and I try to accomplish this while still remaining compassionate. You can read more about how to report inappropriate content or behavior, and also how and why we moderate Connect. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/about-our-moderators-and-mentors/

@claudiabrende, since you mentioned, "@cupcake420 I don't understand why you would say that or what your point is." I'd like to explain what the term "Godspeed" actually means and why it is used. The intent is to convey hope, to wish someone good luck to successfully accomplish a difficult task, or journey or to overcome an obstacle; to wish someone that the outcome/result is positive for them. So, just as we say God forbid, the phrase Godspeed has nothing to do with God or religion.

@cupcake420, @itsohard, @claudiabrende, misunderstandings happen – they’re a natural part of communication, especially online communication. We may all have different reasons and causes of the struggles we face, but as part of this community you don't have to face it alone. As members of Connect we have the opportunity to develop relationships, to get support so that we can walk through all this together and ease the burden of a difficult journey.

I hope this helps to put the issue behind, and know that you are in a good place to get support.

I was upset when you called me a hour ble person,such a big misunderstanding.
I also haven't toon in my breast which I've had since 2003,11 surgeries and round after round of Cipro and levaquin,they did nothing.
For years I've been asking them to remove my breast and finally they are doing it. The reason they gave in is I need both hips replaced before Christmas,two shoulder surgeries from taking the Cipro all my tendons from neck to toe are swollen,torn they are like dried up rubber band ready to give way.depression,anxiety,panic attack and ptsd.
The reason I'll telling you is so you know I was not being rude,I was trying to help.
I'm 50 and going for disability hearing Sept 5
My life was taken away with flouroquinolone,I was a cook for 34 yes. And single mother to 3 sons
They are my greatest comfort thru all of
Good luck in everything

@cupcake420 I understand I'm also really new on here and it would hurt my heart if you left due to this. We all need each other for support because with me I feel helpless these days with me not knowing what is going on with my body. It is a misunderstanding and I hope we can move past this. Wishing you nothing but the best. I have not seen an infection doctor, I'll look into it.

Hi @cupcake420 I encourage you not to leave Connect. I hope you will see that the misunderstanding was due to an unfortunate misinterpretation of your supportive suggestion. As a text-based forum, discussions do not have the benefit of body language, which can help diffuse such misinterpretations. I'm proud to say that these issues happen rarely on Connect. I hope you will give the community a second chance. I, for one, am glad you joined the community.

And I always say gospeed,it just means I wish you well

I have cdiff along with fq poisoning,I am seeing an infectious disease Dr I was just trying to help,it was my first day as well but I already feel unwelcome.
I hope you do get to see this before I log off for good.
Good luck
