Torsten Gloeckner –
I had the flu, which turned into bronchitis very quickly. This happens to me often because a doctor cuts the phrenic nerve on one side, which moves the diaphragm to that side. Bronchitis had been making me sick for two weeks. After this shot of Falcigo Injection 120 mg, I was almost completely better in three days.
