I'm so relieved to find this site! I was starting to think I was overreacting. I'm taking 500mg of Levaquin for a bladder infection and have had the most bizarre dreams that is if I actually sleep, woke up yesterday with the oddest rash all along my chin (several very tiny water bisters & bumps) Besides the fact that it doesn't feel as though it's helping the infection as I'm experiencing just as much pain as I was on day one. I've never had a problem with side effects of any drug so to me this is bit scary. My own prescription No more Levaquin and a few words with my doctor.

I've had symptoms for about two months now without knowing they were coming from taking doxy. First, I couldn't sleep at night b/c my feet felt like they were on fire! and my hands had the same tingly feeling esp. after a change in temperature. Then my toes became red and swolen around the nail. After about a month, the feelings never really went away but always got worse when I was in the sun. A rash began to develop on the tops of my toes. Each bump looked like a tiny water blister. After more sunlight, the rash spread to my hands and arms. More fire. I also got the terrible feeling in my thumbs and index fingers that felt like I banged them with a hammer. Now that the rash is going away (still bad on my toes), my fingernails are terribly brittle, discolored, and are coming off the nail bed on a few fingers. I've also gotten a fever blister and terrible sunburn on my nose, ugh. I was presecribed this medicine for acne, but that seems as though it hasn't even been treated. I've also noticed blurred vision and back pain, but I think that is just b/c I hate my job. LOL.
