It is hard to decide what is really happening.
Cold autoimmune hemolytic anaemia, ITP
IgG and IgM attack normal blood cells.
Liver and Spleen Hyperactivity due to damaged blood cells.
Combination of Pneumovirus, exposure to extreme cold, and Fluoroquinalone drug used for treatment.
Suspect Hospital cold drinks and Ice cream continue to exacberate.
Reaction with Ciprofloxacin treatment for ear infection. Nov 2001. First episode.
Jan 2002 repeat after 1 useage of CiPro in combination with Cortisteroid. landed in hospital cramps and CAIHA.
recovered and went north. -35C and ear drops. Clotting and CAIHA. counts down. Severe pulmonary emolism. Sever -Cramping in legs hands and chest.
This was my first experience with fluroquinalone drugs and doctor prescribed Levaquin three times afterwards have put me in hospital with repeat symptoms. Hemoglobulin counts 60-64.
Suspect that in certain persons Quinolone drugs react on autoimmune system to produce antigens against self.
This is probably an autoimmune condition that is pre-exisiting and in combination with the drug the autoimmune system overreacts.

I've been on Effexor XR 75mg for 8 months with multiple side effects; headache (feels like the top of my head will blow), stomach pains, constant nausea, excessive sweating, body tremors & a skin rash that started on my chest and has moved to my back, arms & on my scalp. The rash has to be an allergic reaction to this medication. I have went through 3 rounds of antibiotics with absolutely no response. After reading the side effects of Effexor, I am going off this drug - cold turkey. I am on day 6. You name the withdrawal symptom I have experienced them!! eg:Excessive swings in body temps- I am either sweating or chilling to the point I have to get in hot tub to stop shaking, Brain zaps, severe nausea. unending diarrhea - still hitting on day 6, nightmares, heart racing, extreme rage but I feel things are a little better today. I am sticking with this until the end. If you are contemplating getting off this drug you should talk to your doctor and keep in mind days 3 thru 6 will be the worst of the withdrawal so be ready to lock yourself in your home for about a week with hot & cold drinks(tea & 7up) blankets and pray for help to see you through.
