Fluoroquinolone toxicity

Posted by cbsolomon @cbsolomon, Sep 11, 2021

Did anyone on this forum take cipro levaquin or avelox around the time their neuropathy began. If so, you probably suffered an adverse reaction to the drug. These fluoroquinolone antibiotics are well know for causing bad neuropathies, tendon damage and psychiatric issues. Check your medical records.

What is the name of the doctor who helped your son? I live in NE Pennsylvania, and I'm desperate to get some help. Seven years since getting floxed and having a terrible flare up of tendon pain.

I was searching "Doctors who treat FQAD" online and I saw many there. Most of them work with muscles but not with hypoglycemia which I have. Search online and you will find one doctor who can help you. I think I got mitochondrial disorder after Cipro drug. I have only one pathological gene for MCADD but I experience severe hypoglycemia and chest pain from palpitations at night. Now I also have high blood sugar probably due to liver or pancreas dysfunction.
