Mg vitamin c symptoms and conditions

I have been taking Simvastatin for 2 mos & I have been experiencing horrible insomnia,fatigue, and frequent nocturia with urgency. I would particularly like to know if any one else has experience the urinary urgency?

I started taking Levaquin in December for a respiratory infection (500mg for 10 days). The only side effects I noticed while taking it was a terrible headache, insomnia and anxiety. I experienced that after the first dose. The next day I called my Dr. to tell him and he said he would prescribe Ativan and I should continue with my prescription. I wish I had listened to my common sense, but I listened to the doctor. I finished the prescription and felt somewhat better from the infection but after 10 days of being off the Levaquin, I started to get a burning pain in my left arm. At first I thought it was a blood clot or something. Two days later, the pain had spread to both arms. The pain was so intense I thought I was going to pass out. I had severe joint and muscle pain. I suspected it was the Levaquin when I found this and other websites where people have been describing their experiences. I made copies of a lot of information to take to the doctor. When I went the doctor I described my pain and tried to show him the information, but he didn't believe me. He said it was not caused by the Levaquin. Since then, the pain has spread to my knees. I have decided to find a new doctor since I refuse to waste my time on a doctor who doesn't even believe me. I called the FDA to file a med watch and they said they were going to send me paperwork..guess what..that was last week and I still haven't gotten paperwork. I believe that everyone is trying to keep this undercover! I am going to go to their website and download my own forms and file.
Two weeks ago I started taking a regimen of vitamins: Daily 3000 mg vitamin C, one B Complex, Milk Thistle, 1000 mg Calcium, 500 mg Magnesium, Potassium, and a Probiotic supplement. I don't know if these have helped me, but I do want to say that I feel better than I felt two weeks ago. I still have a lot of pain, but it's not as severe as it was. I'm hoping that it goes away soon. I am spreading the word among family and friends to NEVER take anything in the quinolinone family of antibiotics. I really don't believe that these side effects are as rare as they say. I just believe many people don't report because most don't connect the dots that their symptoms were caused by the antibiotic. My symptoms didn't start until almost two weeks after I completed the antibiotics. I was just lucky enough to have figured it out. The other symptoms I am having are muscle twitching, trouble focusing, insomnia, and cold hands/feet. I also just once had a ringing in my left ear that made me feel like I lost some of my hearing after it finished. I hope that's not the case. I will continue to pray for all of you.

I had a hair analysis done 3 years ago to see if my mercury level was high. I found it was 1.92 when the acceptable level is 0 - 1, so it was almost 2x the norm, and my aluminum level is off the chart at 35.5 when it should be 0 - 9. My Naturopath recommended the standard for heavy metal toxicity: take chelated minerals (minerals compounded in such a way that they will bind with the heavy metals in my body and remove them) plus 2,000 mg vitamin C per day.

Well,I started back on my chelated mineral therapy and high antioxidants this morning and have felt the best I have felt in a month - since before I began Levaquin. Remember, this is only one day, but I could not help but pass on the information. Every day I have had aches and pains throughout my body, or in my neck, back and ribs or all of the above. I have had no energy. I am one of the people who has blood in my urine. Still have not had the thorough check-up to determine the cause. So, my lower right back is still sore and it hurts to take a deep breath, sneeze or cough, but unfortunately I think that may be kidney related an will take more than some chelated minerals to aleviate the pain. What prompted me to resume the chelated mineral therapy was doing a little research on the ingrediants in Levaquin.

I looked up the ingrediants in Levaquin and was surprised to find that it contains iron, even though the instructions say not to take it iron.

I did a little more research on-line and found that heavy metal toxicity can cause arthritis.

I also found the following, and I don't understand exactly what it means (does anyone else?): There was also some mention of how Levaquin "has the potential to form stable coordination compounds with many metal ions. This in vitro chelation potential has the following formation order: Al+3>Cu+2>Zn+2>Mg+2>Ca+2."

It made me wonder if it could cause a combination of metals that is harming me and causing all of these side effects. Or maybe because my body is so high in Aluminum (Al) to begin with, maybe this is why I have had such painful side effects. Or maybe Levaquin just dumped a large quantity of iron in my body, that has started arthritis. As you can see, I am grasping for answers and solutions, not bandaids, but getting at the root cause. There has to be something in our bodies that is "causing" all of this on a daily basis, that has to be removed.

I am really "searching" for answers because no one seems to have any. So please keep in mind that this is only one day that I feel better. I will give you updates. Let's hope for the best. I don't want to be like the others who have been debilitated by this. I want to prevent the osteochondrosis and arthritis and I want to stop the aches and pains for good. Good luck everyone!!!
