I need advice anons. A month ago, I was prescribed a drug that ended up disabling me after 1 pill. I can barely stand or walk much without crutches now along with other negative effects that could be lifelong.

I looked into all the treatments I'd need to maximize my chances of recovery and almost nothing is covered by insurance. I need around 25-$30k ideally which would comfortably cover treatment and travel.

>lawsuit against the drug company
I tried. But every firm declined my case. There is a loophole that protects generic manufacturers from litigation. I took the generic version so there is nothing I can do.
>gofundme
I'm not a popular chad so I wouldn't get much.
>loan
My credit score is shit. I could maybe convince a family member to cosign but I have no idea how quickly post-treatment I'll be able to work again. I dont want to put someone on the hook for the payments if worst comes to worst.

Do I have any options here? Any chance I can find some generous wealthy person to help me if I tell them my story?

If your going to LARP do it about something you know more about.

Active ingredients in branded and generic medicine is exactly the same as the other anon pointed out, more so the pharma that produce these medicines are held to the same strict regulations and processing audits as the one who formulated, patented and sold the drug originally.

So unless you bought this from a pajeet that made it in a shed saying the reason it's generic is horseshit.

Also the fact, that one pill disabled you sounds ridiculous. A much more convincing LARP would to have said you had a servere allergic reaction, but doesn't give you a reason for fishing for an easy idea to (((raise money))).

Hey man I remember you from last thread. Shit sucks, I hope everything gets better for you.

Have you looked into other legal options, for instance bringing suit against the healthcare provider (Individual/Practice/Hospital etc)?

Glad you at least found some treatments - you could also try contacting the treatment providers directly asking for free treatment or some discount - this is not as uncommon as you may think.

Lastly, you could look into more experimental versions of the same treatment routes - this is harder to find, and riskier both in terms of success and your health, but may be worth an option.

Also, I know this has already been stated, but I would recommend you look into alternative therapies or treatments - the human body is very complex, and certain things just work for people, just like certain things just wreck people.

I wish you all the best.

Free won't happen but ill get it as low as I can.

I am. I'm reading everything about this condition. Even the treatments I am trying to raise money for (regenerative medicine) are somewhat alternative (though still science-backed)

thanks for the good vibes anon

Not that this twat isn't larping, but you're not 100% correct. Generic pharmacokinetics need to be within 80-125% for bioequivalence (across the usual range of PK measures) which, after statistical testing nets out to around a 10% variance.

What state? When did you first go to the hospital for this? When did you first notify the prescriber? What kind of doctor prescribed this? What pill is this? What is it treating? You need to keep track of everyone you speak to, when, about what. Have you continued to take the medication? Are you on a new medication now? Have you paused between medications? Have you sought any physical therapy or 3rd party consultation for addressing your physical issues?

You can organize a gofundme for legal fees, call your local news, continue to pester the office that prescribed you it and hope the press gets you enough donations to make the company give you some "shut up" money.

Also, I hate to burst your bubble but most "treatments" not covered by insurance won't help you a goddamn bit. What kind of treatments will you believe cure "this"

Anon, unfortunately I don’t have any expertise on the matter. If this is true, I hope it all works out, I am sorry for your current state. I encourage you to keep looking at legal angles- were all the side effects listed? The one you’re experiencing? Etc. God speed.

MD. I went to the emergency room as soon as it started happening which was the day of the first dose. It was prescribed by an urgent care. fluoroquinolone antibiotic . I stopped after the 1 pill. no meds now, only supplements to help heal but i did take another antibiotic after. I havent seen any doctor since.

>local news
my story isnt unique and there have been local news stories about it. there are thousands of people that have been harmed by these drugs, look up. "floxies".

>Also, I hate to burst your bubble but most "treatments" not covered by insurance won't help you a goddamn bit. What kind of treatments will you believe cure "this"
Not a cure but they will help with recovery. regenerative medicine treatments like autologous stem cell, prolotherapy, etc..I found a doctor experienced in treating this condition.

I dont want to dox him here in case some tards turn him into a meme or something.but does a bunch of injections including stem cell for about 15k. he has a team of specialists that would bring it to 20k. found another doctor who specializes in ozone therapy (which studies have shown might purge this poison) and he charges a few hundred per session but i might need months of it so it will add up. plus cost of travel and living. in need to plane and hotel or airbnb. idk if my friend who would come with would need help with costs too. im not exactly mobile so ill need someone. 30k is a comfortable estimate of everything. maybe its a bit high. 23k would probably work fine. if I do gofundme or whatever, I wouldnt mind returning any money i dont use if possible.

Sue the doctor that prescribed it for malpractice if you can't sue the manufacturer. Or bring your case, the fact you're disabled and can't even sue the people who disabled you, before the media. It would probably reach the national news, and then you might either have enough attention for crowdfunding or for media appearances to pay for it.
