Hi. I have joined a group of survivors on the yahoo forum: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/quinolones/ There are people there who say that they've gotten much better. Some even say 100% but that it can take ALOT of time..years maybe. I was poisoned by Levaquin in December and, like you, am waiting to get better. I still cannot believe that this can happen from an antibiotic. I wish you the best.

Yes you were poisoned by this drug. It effects people differently but if you have any kind of arthritis in your family you are much more prone to getting serious athritic sypmtoms. I couldn"t walk or stand and could hardly bend to use the toilet. It was the worst feeling in the world. I cried at night because my knees were aching so bad even lying down. It took a good 7-8 months for the symtoms to go away. Beleive me I will never take this again. Just went to the er for a broken nose and cuts. ZThey put me on antibitoics and I amde sure this was not one of them. They asked me why I did"nt want Levaquin and I told them and they just shrugged their shoulders and looked at me like I had two heads!!Marsh
