Has anyone been able to make the direct correlation between your use of Levaquin and your PN?

I just did a lot of reading about it. Lots of problems with many antibiotics and that one is one that a lot of people have problems with, just my feeling.

We have had some posters here over the years. They typically do not stay long. But they have shared links to other places on the net like this:

This is Homer's story from here:

Here is a medical article I found:

I found this part of the study interesting:

Onset may be insidious, subacute, or acute, and symptoms typically progress if the antibiotic is continued. In most cases, symptoms improve or resolve after the drug is discontinued. This, as well as the temporal correlation of symptom onset and the use of the medication, serves to strengthen the causal association. In some cases, as with isoniazid, recovery can be slow and incomplete, especially after prolonged use.

Isoniazid causes a "neuropathy" due to the fact it depletes B6.

When B6 is given with it (which it almost always is), this neuropathy does not manifest.

Interesting. I was on isoniazid as a child for a few years because my mom had TB when she was young, and she could never be convinced that she wasn't contagious anymore. Interestingly she took B-6 with it, but I didn't.

Found this and thought it was intereseting.

I was diagnosed with Ileocecal TB in 2000 or 2001. I was on treatment supposedly for 6 months but because of nausea and vomitting, my dosage was adjusted up and down depending on my tolerance. So, the whole course was extended to 9 months.

I forgot the name of the antibiotic I was on.

Assuming the TB medication is the cause of my PN, does it take 10 years to show the symptoms of the damage?

I cannot see the link.
