Gastroenterology and Mitochondrial Disease

[@StefanPriceUK]

Could I have this from 30 years of SSRIs, and 12 Ciprofloxacin. I cannot function. It destroys mtDNA. Muscle wasting. Broken voice box. Akathisia. Gut problems. White goo in mouth. Burning. About 40 symptoms.

My daughter has a VUS in MT-ATP6. She also has 2 VUS's in CAD gene. She suffers from random, inconsistent and non-specific symptoms since birth, primarily as gastrointestinal manifestations. I can't understand why this is not being taken seriously by physicians.

Scary that an exposure to Cipro can lead to an onset of Mitochondrial DNA depletion.
