Avelox + Cipro
Posted on 21 March 2002
Welcome Susan, and my heart goes out to you. I have "peeped" at this
forum for about two months now and when I first told my story I got a
lot of comfort from the great people here, not to mention good advice.
A lot of investigation and time has been spent by the dedicated ones
here, which helped calm my mind and spirit.
I was "fried" by doses of Avelox and Cipro. My first reaction was much
like yours, terrible night sweats and fevers and the unmistakable
feeling I was dying....(I really felt I was!) Now it is a constant
burning sensation all over my body, fatique and joint pain and
inflamation of the central nervous system....which both Dr. and
neurologist have insisted was not caused by quinolones, but by an
"unknown" source........oh wellllll......
Four months have passed for me, and some of the pain and burning is
getting better, but the fatique is still there. This like you is a
fact I find hard to deal with....I am an avid antique hound and have a
thriving business that needs me 12-14 hours a day. My Aussie and Lab
have things to say about me sitting around too much...so off we must
go even if I am in pain. They are a godsend, or I might have just
vegitated into nothingness. It's hard to cry when they look at you
silly.
It is my hope too that time will be a friend and a healer, along with
the sound advice given here. Yes....my Dr kind of smirks at me too
when he see's me coming. I have stopped complaining and expecting him
to research this out more....I just figure it is a huge laughable
secret on their part that we are suffering....they mostly blame
everything on monopause. It is my hope that someday THEY take one of
these drugs and get a dose of their own medicine.
I wish you well and hopefully fast healing. Regards, Linda
