Doctors in denial: Numbness in hands and loss of dexterity due to Carpel Tunnel, not damage to Ulner Nerve, diminished vision - need cataract surgery, loss of balance- need brain scan. Urinary problems- need Flowmax, or whatever it is. Do they fail to link Levaquin to these and many other symptoms? My father has been in hospital for over two weeks due to this drug. Has been given one drug after another. Who knows what side effects they will have. Found faxes my father sent to his doc. Symptoms seemed to appear within two weeks of taking 7 day course, 500 mg. Vision diminished , balance problems, loss of appetite , swollen feet and ankles, dry mouth. urination problems, pain in calfs, hardly able to walk, numbness in hands........ On and on. Becoming human cash register for docs. Tell everyone at hospital the underlying problem was created by Levaquin. Now wears wrist tag saying allergic to Levaquin. This is becoming a fiasco. How do you get this out of your system?
