Levaquin is a notorious causer of neuropathy. Some say it cannot be reversed, but some information is out there at Dr. J. Cohen's MD website.

I'd stick with the Zithromax. However, you may need an alternate dosage for chronic or frequent events. 500mg daily for 3 days instead of the other regimen. Don't accept Levaquin unless all else fails.
Do you know your Vit D level? Optimising it can prevent infections. It has succeeded for my husband and I.
