Floxie Hope
Fourteen pills of ciprofloxacin started Lisa’s journey through fluoroquinolone toxicity and transformed her from strong and active to a weak and anxious person. Lisa Bloomquist was left wondering, “What happened??”
Even after her recovery, she still wanted answers about what happened in her body when an adverse drug reaction led her into the scary world of mysterious multi-symptom illness.
Her journey, as well as advocacy work and research, are chronicled on www.floxiehope.com. She is honored to further learn and connect through Fearless Parent Radio.
Lisa Bloomquist is a patient advocate who was injured by Cipro in 2011. She runs Floxie Hope, a fluoroquinolone toxicity advocacy site, and manages The Fluoroquinolone Wall of Pain. Lisa is a guest blogger for Hormones Matter and Collective Evolution, and hosts The Floxie Hope Podcast. Lisa has vowed to continue to screaming about the dangers of fluoroquinolone antibiotics until those in the medical professions start paying attention to their Hippocratic Oath, until proper informed consent is established for administration of these drugs, and until physicians stop giving them to children. Lisa is a Colorado native who enjoys the mountains, Pilates, and her cat. She has a BA in Economics from Colorado State University and a Masters in Public Administration from University of Colorado, Denver.
