I have heard so many negative things about Levaquin.

why was he prescribed levaquin, it seems to be more of a wide sprectrum abx, and it used to fight numerous infections including plague, and anthrax.
I saw the drug.com side effects, it could be a possible cause of his Neuropathy.

Just FYI regarding Levaquin.

There are some posts in the
PN Tips, Resources, Supplements & Other Treatments sub-forum
on the ~Medications That May Cause Peripheral Neuropathy thread.

I think levaquin was the cause, since he said he took 60 levaquin pills, i dont know at once or over a period of time, if its in one sitting it would increase his chances of getting Neuropathy, and not morgellans. he ALSO seem to be suffering from anxiety and depression as well, since its also know to intensify neuropathies.

Then I found out I have morgellans on top of this.. I did not even knew it existed. I have tons of fibers coming out my body and stool.
I have heard of people having stinging but this has an INTENSE electrical component to it.. I cant wear clothes. I just pace and cry. They even tried IVIG on me and I reacted horribly.
Does ANYONE have this over entire body with such intensity you want to end it.. No one knows what is wrong with me.
I have searched the internet over and NO ONE Stings to this degree with the electrical conponents.. Feels like millions of bees on me all the time.. I am beginning to think I am electronically targeted which I did not know existed but I guess it does.. I am in torture , heart pounds but is fine on tests but feels so altered with an horrific anxiety through it.

Use search function for Central Sensitation and compare symptoms, Good Luck, Ken in Texas.

Hi. I definitely relate to some of your description of symptoms. It sounds awful what you are going through. As someone else has said you're not alone. Have you got support and health professionals working with you to find some solutions? I think that some of the meds used for nerve pain should be able to reduce the severity of the pain. I also wondered about something to help with the very understandable level of distress and anxiety. I find strong emotions really aggravate my pain. All the best to you.
