Fluoroquinolones and Neuropathy
I have read some things (here and elsewhere) about the potential for PN if you have taken fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
I took a course of Levaquin approximately 7 years ago, for a case of bronchitis that didn't respond to a few other antibiotics.
The bronchitis was causing coughing fits that lead to laryngospasms - (if you want to feel like you are about to die, try experiencing one of those). I would have taken anything they gave me at that point in time.
Anyway, I was just curious whether or not there is any evidence that PN caused by taking fluoroquinolones can occur many years later. Or, is it a more immediate effect?
