Dec 1, 2006

severe burning and tingling of all extremities continue.
muscle twitches and tremors continue

constpation resolves
hands going numb, experiencing dizzyness (new)

I think I have CNS damage....does anybody know if these symptoms can be permanent. I had EMGs of all extremies and skin punch biopsy all negative for axonal damage. Whats left but my BRAIN /SPINAL CORD!!!!!!

Has anyone recovered from similar symptoms ? ..I can't imagine living like this forever Mary

#12891. Wrong...guess again. I don't work for a drug company. Let me guess...you also think the Govt is monitoring all your phone conversations, right? My comment was not meant to stir brash comments. I was merely stating that Levaquin has worked very well for me (and others I know). I was actually shocked to see this forum with all of the postings. The idea of "group-think" is not a new one. If I give you a pill and tell you it causes 99 out of 100 people to feel dizzy, I can guarantee you that you'll feel dizzy even if it's a Pez candy. My point was that although this forum may raise some issues, we are not the medical community. Maybe it is a dangerous drug that hasn't been labeled as such yet. Maybe it isn't. I respect that you had negative side-effects, but it doesn't apply to everyone.

Take a gander at the following:
Stomach bleeding, tinitus, hearing loss, confusion, vomiting, diarrhea, liver damage, CNS damage, stoke...and 300-500 deaths per year. The drug ... ASPIRIN.

If you don't trust your Doctor to prescribe a safe drug for you, then change doctors. Getting medical advice from the internet is a very scary concept at best.
