I got Neuropathy from taking the antibiotic called Levaquin (For 10 days). All my neuro and blood tests too were negative as well to try and find an underlying condition. This was the 1st test that came back Positive since I have started my search to recovery in the last 10 months.

Have you been able to try and figure out what could have caused your neuropathy?
I am taking 5000mcg VitB12 (Methycobalamine) and R-Lipoic Acid 100mg, among other things.

Oh, I have been into all kind of tests and they all came back negative, even my Skin Biopsy is normal. I was told though, in this forum, that PN, in its early stage comes out normal in the skin biopsy.

I read Mrs.D's recent post about TB medication that could cause PN. I was on TB medication for 9 months in 2000 (or 2001). I also had flu vaccines for the past 3 consecutive years. These two factors are mentioned to be causative of PN. Although I am not sure if these are the real causes of my PN, I am taking supplements for Mitochondrial damage. Anyway, I was already taking the recommended supplements on Mrs.D's Supplements, etc. thread even before I read about the TB meds.

God bless.
