Hello, I'm a 44 year old male, Air Force officer. I was taking Flagyl for C-Diff infection in my intestines, on a 14 day course.

Six days into the Flagyl (50 mg/tab, 2 tabs 3X day) I developed what felt like a strained right wrist. Medication also started making me very woozy and lightheaded. Pain in right wrist started in my left wrist as well.

Decided to quit the Flagyl, however I continue to have PN symptoms in both my lower arms. I have a good doctor who is very understanding and wants to get to the bottom of this.

I am very worried I have permanent nerve damage from PN. I am married with 3 young boys who are very active, this is very debilitating for me as I'm sure you have all experienced.

I am mad at my original doctor for not explaining the side effects of Flagyl. This medicine can really tear people up and they need to know it.

Any help or suggestions from anyone at this point?
