I am a 40 year old female. I have had several sinus infections and had been placedo n Avelox before. The doc kept asking me if I had any plans on pregnancy and continued to stress the strength of the drug. However, I had NO idea what would become of this last time. I had been taking it for about 4 days and went to the ENT and was told to stop taking it because my sinuses looked good. That day I struggled to breath and had to literally gasps for air. I developed a bruise on my left arm that looked as if someone had pinched me. I didn't think much of it until I woke up the next morning with another bruise on the right arm. I continued to develop these bruises until there were 6 altogether. A few days later my body began involuntary jerking. I felt like I was having seizures. I became tearful and so afraid. This med needs to GO AWAY!!! I cannot imagine what would have happened if I continued to take it. BE CAREFUL if you're daring enough to continue it. Thank God I have a praying partner and family that would NOT let me go!
