I am not sure of the antibiotic; it was given to me by IV for 3-5 days while I was in hospital over 5 years ago. The neuropathy was already underway, as I could barely walk when I got to hospital, and it was there that they discovered the UTI/kidney infection. I lost my leg use (and hands) after a couple days in hospital, but the weakness started and progressed about 2 weeks earlier. I left hospital after 2 weeks for a 7 week rehab place where they worked with me in my new life in a wheelchair; with later home care, I eventually was able to walk with walker after 6 months. They tested me for Guilian-Barre about a month after I stopped walking, but it was supposedly negative. Today when I take antibiotics
