I posted my experience with Levaquin back in January 2008. It's been three months since my initial reaction to Levaquin. I was in terrible pain then and I could barely walk. It has been three months now and I am still in a lot of pain and the pain in my lower back is worse. However, I can walk better now. I have yet to find a doctor who can help me or who even believes that Levaquin caused this. If anyone out there has a physician who believes that Levaquin can cause this damage and who is competent to treat this problem, PLEASE email me with his or her name. I am willing to travel to wherever I need to travel to to get some relief from this. If nothing else it would be great to have a doctor who understands the problem. Thanks. My prayers are with you all. Chris

Hi Chris, did you send in a MedWatch report by going to www.fda.gov??If you didn't please do. It's the only way we can get someone to looke at what's happening to us. We are being poisoned by the pharmaceutical companys. I don't have a dr that will believe me and it's been 3-1/2 yrs. Please go to www.fqvictims.org and get some help there.

I have a physician who understands that I am experiencing an ADR. Additionally, my stepfather has discussed my situation with several doctors who are also understanding. All of them are unaware of a treatment that works. They all say that you just need to wait it out. That said, I have found that massage and physical therapy have been very physically and emotionally healing for me. Good luck Chris, and I hope that you are healed sooner rather than later.

Chris-
I am a physician, and also experienced some side effects from taking levaquin myself. Since I am a naturopathic physician, I have tactics to deal with this and am willing to share them. Feel free to e-mail me at drleslied@comcast.net
