I had a little case of pneumonia and the doctor prescribed avelox to me. since the first day i took it i experienced numbness in my legs and i was feeling very weak, i thought those symptoms were from pneumonia so i continued to take avelox. after taking avelox for 6 days i saw my doctor and i told him about everything i was feeling, numbness in my legs and arms, tingling in my whole body(even my lips), and i felt very weak. my doctor gave me some tests and everything seemed to be fine. but i kept feeling really bad, i started to get chest pain. i went to the ER and they ran some tests, they told me i was fine. they told me to go to a neurologist. later that day i read on the back of the prescription and i saw that everything i was feeling i saw as side effects on the prescription. By the time i saw that i have already taken all of the medication. now i'm waiting to see when the side effects will go away. i wonder why any of the doctors i went to didn't know these were side effects from the medication, i will never take this medication again.

Shame on all those docs for not researching the drugs THEY prescribe!!!!
The drug reps give them PERKS to order these very costly drugs(poisons)
I would see a toxicologist because you have a toxic reaction. It sounds as if you may have peripheral neuropathy. Make sure you report EVERYTHING to the FDA.MEDWATCH.GOV and Bayer. You have 2 years to file a lawsuit. Any toxicologist will tell you how toxic this drug has always been. Your doc is also to blame!.
Check www.fqtoxicresearchfoundation.org It,s so scarey! We are guinea pigs! Many of us are trying to file a class action lawsuit against Bayer.
