I had a 103 fever Thursday went to my doctor Friday she prescribed this to me and I started taking it same day - that day - hardly any side effects until later that night...took a shower and I looked like I had spider webs all over me - then the real fun started...I started to swell up, I have not slept since that first night and needless to say, I have stopped taking the Avelox now. My fingers are so swollen they are like coctail weenies and it is hard to type - my legs are so swollen it hurts to wear shoes and I have bright red dots all over from my knees down. Is this permanent???? I'd rather not have this look for summer. : ( I feel like I am all "craked out" for lack of a better term but I am exhausted form the no sleep, etc. Oh yeah and the best part of this whole thing, I am so itchy I want to peel my skin OFF. Who the h*** lets this remain on the market?? Better yet - why do doctors keep prescribing it knowing all this - oh yeah I forgot MONEY... I really hope all of this goes away? I am terrified cause most of the posts I have read thus far say most people deal with this for weeks +!!!!

I certainly hope you went to the ER by now!! You are having a TOXIC reaction,and it doesn,t just go away in a few days. You needed medical attention on day one! I hope someone took pictures of all of this for evidence. I hope your prescribing doc saw you again at least,and documented ALL your symptoms after taking Avelox. I would sue her and Bayer for this. Report this to www.fda.gov/medwatch and to Bayer pharmaceuticals. Call your pharmacist. They have phone numbers of all manufacturers. I do hope you are recovering but some suffer permanently from this demon drug. I would go to the er if you haven,t. This is serious.
Did your doc give you samples or a script? Big bucks for Avelox!!!
Good luck. Please post a response so we all know you are alright. God bless you and all the rest of us avelox victims........TRUDY

I replied to your horrific Avelox reaction last month. Please email me to let me know how you are doing. I have been in contact with several other victims and our goal is to file a class action lawsuit against Bayer for our permanent damages. We have emailed Erin@Brockovich.com. She is real and does work for a lawfirm who does class action suits. Please email Erin.
Leave phone and email contact. Let,s ban together and make Bayer pay for this! My email is burnsy133@verizon.net
God bless us all.

I was contacted by this lawfirm,a class action lawsuit.
The Mulligan Law Firm-214-219-9779 in Dallas.

Never heard from Erin Brockovich. I hope you have recovered but you have toxic symptoms. Copy data from www.fqtoxicityresearchfoundation.org.
Give it to the doc who prescribed Avelox. They are supposed to educate themselves but it seems victims have to teach them!
Please keep in touch. Burnsy133@verizon.net
