750mg levaquin for 8 days
Hi everyone! Just a backstory on my situation I got a campylobacter infection on sep 4 which became septic. I was in the hospital for 4 days got 3 IV doses of Levaquin and then was sent home with 5 oral doses. Everytime I took it I felt terrible. Anxiety, insomnia, nausea, tingling, calf pain, etc. I finished the 5 oral doses on sep 13 but am now feeling like the tingling has gotten worse and the calf pain is terrible. I also am having shoulder pain and tinnitus. I know that GBS is associated with a campylobacter infection which is freaking me out especially with the tingling but I spoke to several doctors and they said the GBS would be very obvious, and that they’ve never known anyone to get it from campylobacter so it is very rare. Is this to be expected from Levaquin?? The doctors at the hospital did not even mention these symptoms to me!! I’ve been taking magnesium and using a topical magnesium as well. I am slowly getting back into working out but it’s going to take time because I lost about 10 pounds which has caused me to lose a lot of my strength. Has anyone else had a similar experience? The symptoms have gotten worse since I stopped the medication?? Any advice helps thank you!!!
