Can you show me the threads on the bad antibiotics, I can't find it. I need to have information written down in case my side pain is Diverticulitus. It happened three years ago and I was given Leviquin. I think that was possibly the cause of my Autonomic Neuropathy. My POTS began after that.

I know about Levaquin, Floraquinones, no macobid...I stay away from ALL mycins and micins like Gentamycin. Ototoxic. Long story there....

I need to write this info all down. The only pain med I can take is Toradol. That is an NSAID. I can take nothing else. When I have had surgeries in the past I took nothing. It is horrible.

I appreciate your help for all info on neurotoxic meds.

Hi Sallysblooms,
hope this is some help from PN tips and resources
MEDICATIONS~~ That May Cause Peripheral Neuropathy

Flagyl and Tindamax... are typically used for diverticulitis.

So are Levaquin and Cipro.

It is difficult to find complete lists. I've searched for many hours over the years. They change and evolve.

Thanks, all four are bad...What do I do with the next Diverticulitis attack? So far, I am ok. What a mess.

I wrote down some of the meds listed. I couldn't find a lot on antibiotics. Did I miss it? I looked on all of the pages.

When I was young, a child, I remember being so happy that an antibiotic would help infections of the ear, throat, etc. But now, I just fear them.

Now my pain is back. I sure hope I do not spend the night in the ER. Hubby will be home soon at least.

Is Keflex OK? I have to get some ideas of "better" ones for Diverticuitus. I don't think Durifef is used for that. I can take Durifef better than others.
