Irreparable damage symptoms and conditions

Has anyone had the experience of previously taking Levaquin without side effects, then when taking it again, developed severe headaches, joint aches, muscle pain and weakness, etc? I am currently going through this. I've taken Levaquin before probably 2 or 3 times due to upper respiratory problems and not noticed any side effect but this time, I've taken 5 days worth, 3 in hospital 2 as outpatient dose and can hardly move. I had the same experience in 2004 with zithromax. Had taken it without side effects, then suddenly when taking it again developed such bad chest pain, I thought as did my doctor, that I was having heart attack and spent a week in hospital before figuring that one out.

I had my Mirena inserted in 9/07. I was fine until 6/08. In 6/08, I started to experience strange urinary symptoms of urgency and frequency. I addition, I had pain on urination. No UTI present. I had a cysto to r/o interstitial cystitis. The physician said that it did not look like IC because I did not scream when fluid was infused into my bladder. For the last 5-6 months, I have been dealing with my strange symptoms. The GU speculated that my problems might be due to my dropped bladder, but he seemed very unsure.

A few week ago, everything changed. I started having the most severe urethal pain. I was in tears all day long with 3 kids to care for. I have wbc and rbc in my urine. ALL cultures were neg. The Dr. even cultured me for STDs. Last Thursday, I had my Mirena pulled out after reading this message board. I'm hopeful that it hasn't caused irreparable damage to my body. I still have the same symptoms 3 days post Mirena. Please let me know if anyone has had relief post Mirena.

Thank you!

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.

I have been taking Lescol for almost 2 years, 40mg. All the aches that I feel on my body I have blamed my age (65)since Nov.2002 my doctor double up on Lescol now I take 80mg the discomfort in all my body has increased, it is not a pain but something that I feel deep in my bones my joints when I go up steps. It seems to be worse when I am in bed I can not it runs through my legs either side and I can not find the comfortable position to sleep. Can lescol cause irreparable damage to the muscles??
