Does anyone think that levaquin, or this group of antibiotics, caused their PN?
My doctor has diagnosed me with Antibiotic related Neuropathy. Yes, it was the same antibiotic you are taking. My neuropathy has become irreversible. I do not have diabetes so at first it was ideopathic. I had two internal meds and tw Neurologist confirm my conditon from UCLA.

Hope that helps,
