I have a question to any and all of you who have posted. I have similar symptoms to just about all of you minus any rash but mostly I have pain and some weakness in my right side particularly my shoulder and arm with some tremors in my pinky and ring finger and some pain and weakness in my right thigh. Insomnia and anxiety have also been a big part of the symptoms. Additionally when I take a hot shower my fingers twitch really bad then subside after about an hour...weird. My question is to some of you who have been going through this for some time is does this subside or even better go away over time? I have been off this stuff for just about a month now and things seem to be a little better but it might be that I am just getting used to the symptoms. Thanks

I took it in December. For the first few months things were so bad. Slowly things have started to get better but not totally go away. They say it can take years for these problems to go away. I am trying to stay hopeful that I will eventually get better. Give it some more time. I had a terrible twitch in my right middle finger every time I used the mouse on the computer. It lasted for months but I haven't noticed it in the past few weeks, so I think that symptom at least has gone away (hopefully). I also have the thigh weakness but that is improving. For the first 3 months, I was terribly weak and stiff. I could barely walk. I still feel weakness and neuropathy in my legs but not as severe or as often as it was. I hope you start to feel better soon.

I had taken Levaquin in January. The only symptoms that I have remaining are pain in my hips if I sit too long, and pain in my right shoulder. I still get sinus infections, but am avoiding going to the doctor. A sinus headache is bearable after having the headaches (migraines) caused by this terrible drug!
