When I had my recent crisis with Lisinopril I had burning eyes, and everywhere. I am now recovering from that, but slowly.

This test is more accurate for diagnosing lupus that results from prescription drugs:

Have taken Cipro a few times, but when thinking back, think it was after the neuropathy started.
Question: How does Nitrrofurantion compair to Cipro when it comes to the neuroropathy triggers? This would be good to know for the future.
Had stopped Lipitor for a while, but it made no difference in burning symptoms.
Thanks for the link, I have copied the list of meds.
Thanks
