Ok, so after looking at more records, I see that I was given livaquin.
My symptoms were not immediate-about two 1/2 months later. Any ideas, wise ones? |

It is possible that this is a factor. This family of drugs
Affects DNA of cells.. Which damages them. Search fluoroqinolones here for many posts on the subject. Dr.Jay Cohen MD writes about them on his website. I also have links on the subforum thread about drugs that May cause PN.

I discover recently that I was taking a fluoroquinolone when I developed my SFN. I really do believe this is the reason for my neuropathy.
From what I researched you do not have to show signs and symptoms right for the med to be the cause. |

Something I have wondered about... I was prescribed the largest dosage of Cipro about 20 years ago and was on it daily for 6 months. I did not have any noticeable neuro deficits until recent years but I have wondered if that Cipro could have at least been partially responsible for damaging my peripheral nervous system.

I make it a point to refuse floroquinolones now, just to be on the safe side.

I do believe an eventual link could be established to far more distant use history of fluoroquinolones than what has already been established. |
