Oh no! Your dr. is so ignorant. Fluoroquinolones should never ever be taken with steroids! Avelox is a drug just like Levaquin and Cipro. They are all such dangerous drugs that can have long lasting reactions. I know exactly how you are feeling because I was in your shoes last year. There are so many of thousands of us who are screaming out for this madness to stop! These drugs should only be used for life/death situations and even then, very cautiously. File a medwatch report with the FDA. For support, join the forum on the yahoo health board. The address is: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/fqtoxicity/messages. There are so many wonderful people who can give you a lot of hope for the future. You will get better but it may take several more months. Hang in there because it WILL happen. Don't lose faith. I am praying for you.
