Enough to scare symptoms and conditions

Update: I went to the ER last night and was pretty surprised when I received the results from my labs and the doctor's interpretation (diagnosis). My X-rays were completely normal and free of alignment problems or visible fractures which was expected. But, my blood work told the entire story... General inflammation indicator was slightly elevated and my uric acid concentration was through the roof. This indicates that I have developed Gouty Arthritis over a period of three-four days and have inflammation in my joints, the latter of which is improving or not severe enough to scare anybody.

I am just wondering if anybody else with sore, numb, and weak feet, ankles, wrists, and hands after/during the course of Levaquin has had a similar diagnosis? I have never experienced anything like this before, but hate to think that I may have aggravated it by drinking in order to alleviate some of the pain over the weekend.

There is no family or personal history of Gout for me. I must note that potassium deficiency and dehydration are side effects/warning conditions of Levaquin and am wondering if I was just dehydrated to begin with and my muscles were in pretty bad shape from coughing and aching for 5-6 days, then the antibiotic worsened it to this point. Either way, I will never take one of these drugs again and plan on considering this as an allergic reaction in the future.

FYI: The ER Dr. recommended Ibuprofen for the pain because the aspirin that i was taking could have been aggravating the condition. I also awoke just before four again this morning after having only slept 4.5 hours and experienced very vivid dreams and was unable to return to sleep. I'm beginning to believe that this is never going to end.

Have been taking statins for 10+ years with side effects of dizziness, flu like symtoms and fatigue and attributed all to aging. Started Lipitor 3+ yrs. ago and symtoms got worse, now including knee pain, stiffness,loss of balance, difficulty walking and slurred speech. Have seen numerous doctors who act as though I'm just an hysterical female. They are right. These symtoms are enough to scare anyone. Have stopped Lipitor for two mos. and knee pain and most of stiffness is gone but not other symtoms. I'm 70 yrs. old and have been active despite side effects until last 3 yrs. Now find it difficult to walk and have fallen too many times. No more statins for me but feel they have done irreparable damage.
