Antibiotics hazardous to your health? Who knew?

Turns out there's a particular class of antibiotics that can be extremely hazardous to your health. My wife and I learned this the hard way this past week. It was much, much harder on her than it was on me though - she's the one whose health was affected - I was just consumed with worry. The class of drugs is fluoroquinolone antibiotics. The particular one that my wife was on is called Avelox. They're very powerful at killing bacteria, which is what you want an antibiotic to do. But, according to what I've read about them during the past week, they're also apparently extremely harsh on the healthy parts of your body, and can cause serious damage to your body, sometimes life-long damage. I'm working on a more detailed post that describes exactly what my wife went through, as well as some of the info that I've read about these drugs. Hope to have that up in the next day or two.
