I've posted before so I won't bore you with the details just a quick synopsis and an update. Prescribed Levaquin AND Prednisone for an upper respiratory infection during last December/January. Went through the roof! Two trips to the ER, couldn't eat (lost 10 pounds), thought I was going to die, anxiety out of this world. Then started sleeping constantly. Even light exertion caused profuse sweating and tiredness. Lost 3 months from work. Gradually started feeling a little better but in August my left arm started hurting very badly. Couldn't turn it or lift with it at all. Presently, it is ok about 90% of the time with only occasional pain. Then bam! Bent over to pick up a light object with the other arm and the tendon connecting my right bicep snaps. Talk about pain! No warning, no discomfort, just snaps. Visitedthe Ortho today and scheduled surgery to put it back. Not sure if the other side has sustained damage or not. One doctor agreed that it was the combination of Levaquin and Prednisone, the other doctor feels it is "inconclusive" due to the time lapse. Personally? I KNOW it was! I never had a problems with my arms in my life! I'm 47 and in great shape otherwise. Please stay away from this stuff and spread the word to anyone who will listen. My respiratory problems are gone but I'm just beginning to experience real problems!
