Grandma123. Did your PN symptoms start while on Levaquin or later? Because the half life of both cipro and levaquin is such that about 20 hours after your last dose it is out of your system. So, if during the course of taking it your nerves were damaged why would the symptoms be delayed, if indeed they were? Why wouldn't the PN be evident while on it or shortly thereafter?
If only it were simple. My doctors have spoken with me about all of this and they keep trying to find a better medication for next time I need it. Damage can happen later for sure. Not just with Levaquine, so many drugs have terrible effects later. I have read so much about it and spoken with doctors and pharmacists. Not rare at all.

It is important to me to learn from things that happened and do all I can to correct the damage and not repeat. VERY hard since so many meds cause these problems.
