I'm a long time sufferer from small fibre PN caused by alcohol, now mainly in remission (three years absentention and good fortune).

My doctor has prescribed me Ciprofloxacin for a bad case of Prostatitis but a few days into the course I'm getting bouts numbness of the side of my head and on one day numbness in my feet much the same as a bad PN flare up. I really don't know if its the infection or the medication thats causing these symptoms.

I've seen that Cipro can cause these symptoms elsewhere and it is mentioned as a rare side effect on the medication guidance but do any existing PN suffers have any experience of this ? I've stopped taking the Cipro for the moment.
