Dec. '03, visiting Susan in Collegeville PA for Christmas, got ear infection, found her doctor, got Zythromax, 5 day anti-biotic. Back to home, the usual light headed dizziness continued; went to local Internist who said infection was now in the other ear, Jan. '04. Got Levaquin 500 mg, 10 days. Infection cleared, but stagger, wobble, can't walk a straight line began at the same time; persisting all day everyday. Feb. '04 got Augmentin, 875 mg, 2 per day, 14 days; doctor apparently still thought I had an infection. Started the "tour" of ear specialist, neurologist, MRIs, finally a trip to Univ. of N.C. Hospitals, more tests; a second MRI was in there some place. Now on Neurontin (Gabapentin) 300 mg, now up to 4 per day. No help. UNC Hospitals says Peripheral Neuropathy; locals think it might be Ataxia. Side effects started in Jan. '04.
