Levaquin and cold weather

Dec. 26, 2006 - I was prescribed Levaquin for severe sinus infection on Dec. 5. The first night I had severe leg pain. Then I had fatigue and severe arthritis reactions., ie., pains in hands, fingers, arms, feet. I felt like I just let it go too long and some infection was entered into my entire system. The sinus infection was not cleared up so I was prescribed another dose on Dec. 22. I just had to painful days of cooking for the family. I feel like a need to move from the cold weather of WI because I hurt everywhere. I get on the internet (curious as to whether the Levaquin could have this side effect) and find this web site. I'm stopping the drugs immediately.

I took Levaquin for 2 months. The first few weeks no problems, then I started having pain in my bones lower legs, When I went to get some food from the fridge, I could not crouch to reach the bottom shelf anymore, then knees hurt like hell, my hips, lower back, cant stand up, chills all the time, but I thought it was from my prostate infection maybe it spread or something, or maybe I was being silly, maybe it's the cold weather? so I ignored it.

Then I sprained both my ankles, one week after each other. Then that only added to my pain, I was walking like a 100 year old man, limping on both sides. Everything I did some part of my body hurt.

Now I know what old age is like.

I had something wich I thought was a heart attack twice, my chest felt really tight, like a car was on it, I thouhgt I was gonna die, it lasted about 15 munites the first time, I crwled from the kitchen table to the couch, and about 5 minuts the ssecond time. I thught I'm getting old and gonna die soon.

Then I started feeling pain in my butt (laugh) for real, my thigh muscles felt like I just ran a marathon, my whole body felt like I been hit by a train.

By palms are numb, my thumb is numb, I can hardly type this post right now cause I cant use my left hand that much anylonger (and I'm left handed). I cant turn my head anymore because my neck hurts. I feel like I'm dieing.

After reading this post, what happenned to poeple on Levaquin for only a few days, and I was on it for two months! oh my god!!

I start to get strange headaches, not really bad ones, but strange hard pain like feeling. My vision is also going, I can see clearly from each eye seleratly, but when I use both eyes at the same time it's blurry, strange, its as if my brain cant use both eyes at the same time anymore.

My body feels really bad as if I'm 100 years old. I wonder if maybe I have prostate cancer, and it spread really fast all over my body, or it's the levaquin that's doing it? I sent for the AMAS kit that test for cancer because I know somethings wrong with me. I hope its the levaquin and not cancer!
