Avelox
Posted on 3 April 2002
I haven't posted much due to the fact that I am really screwed up! I
took Avelox for 5 day of a 10 day dose. I ended up in the hospital,
paralyzed on my left side and having convulsions. I was shaking like
someone with parkinsons disease, tremors and in unbelievable pain. The
doctors in the ER didn't even know what was going on. They did all the
test on everything. My husband and mother keep telling them look up
Avelox. We gave them sites to go look it up. After they did they
became scared too! They called in doctors from all over, I was so
sever that 3 of the doctors filed with the FDA. I was given heavy
doses of antiseizure medical. This seemed to hold them back some what.
This was the first week in Jan. I'm now on 2 epileptic drugs to keep
the seizures down, I still have them daily. I take 3600 mg of nuerotin
but even that is not enough! I have pain in every muscle, joint and
bone! Heat seems to help, I take 5 baths a day, just to have some
relief. I shake so bad sometimes I have to hold my head to keep my
neck from hurting so bad. My hands don't work at times. I stand up and
fall, sometimes my legs don't work! I walk with a cain, I'm only 36
years! I can't think straight, I forget where I'm at, what I'm doing,
how to spell! I lose it after a seizure I am so exalted afterward I
lose 4 hrs of my day because I go into a sleep. Oh, they reported me
for having seizures so now I can't drive. (I have 3 kids to raise) I
have seen so many doctors, heard the bull**** about how it couldn't be
the drug! Take this, take that, let's run another test, That I said
thats enough! I pulled my self away from all doctors! I am taken every
healthy thing I can find, some help alittle some not. I have found a
place that in June I am checking myself into for three weeks. It is a
place full of doctors who have walked away from todays medical world
and into health and nutrition. Here is the website www.ucheepines.org.
I believe they will help me, I guess I will see. I warn everyone I see
about Avelox. I am filing a lawsuit, but this will take years. But
what I wanted to say in all this, is yes this is a very bad drug!
