Took levaquin,500mg,for 10 days to combat infection in my left to...

I made a post back on the 10th about what has happened to me. I am still having alot of pain in my joints, hands, and neck. I still can't function the way I normally did and even though I am only 42, I feel like I am 142! I am seeing a specialist on Thursday because my ANA came back positive after taking this stuff. After reading all of these posts, I really believe that Levaquin is the cause and I am praying that I don't have any permanent damage. I wish I could tell you that the pain would go away, but I can't. All I can say is stay informed, see a specialist if you have to, and stay away from any of these types of antiobiotics... Best of luck...

Do your research on adverse drug reaction's to fluoroquinolones which is what Cipro, Levaquin and Avelox are......also Flagyl has the same effect. DO not ever take one of these again. They cause permanent damage. There is nothing that can help and the doctors will tell you that it was not the antibiotic.
