Fluoroquinolone toxicity

Speaking from my own experience of levaquin toxicity, getting doctors and neurologists to even acknowledge the possibility is useless. I finally found an MD in Palmyra PA who is family practice and alternative medicine. He is very knowledgeable about the damage from floroquinolones. He diagnosed medication toxicity and Put me on a regimen of supplements. Nothing worked immediately but I have for the most part recovered after 3 years. I still get neuropathy flares and some shoulder pain here and there but compared to where I was I’ll take it. The first year was the hardest and scariest. I’d recommend finding an alternative medicine dr to advise on supplements, eat clean, and as odd as it sounds meditate every day for at least 10 minutes. The calming effect helps some of the physical stuff at least for me. Neuropathy and tinnitus mostly. I think time is the tincture with this. At the 1 year mark I felt that life as I had known it was over. But now 3 yrs post floroquinolone I’d say I’m 90% recovered. I still take a few supplements daily and watch what I eat but overall life is back to normal.

Thanks for the encouragement! Glad to hear you are feeling better.

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.

Sorry, I just reread your post and it wasn't your son who was floxed, it was you. I'm so glad you're better. Please pass along that doctor's info! Thanks.
