Recovery

Posted Thu, 01/22/2009 - 20:59 by FQHelp

Just a note to let you know I am doing much better. It was scary for a couple of months after taking two weeks of Levaquin. I had sudden joint pain, extreme muscle weakness, extreme fatigue, rash, headache, mental confusion.

I was tested for Lupus, Lymes, Arthritis, MS, ALS, etc, etc. I kept telling the Doc's it was due to the Levaquin because my symptoms started while I was taking the Levaquin for an "infection." There never was any "infection."

Recovery strategy

Posted Tue, 01/20/2009 - 17:20 by FQHelp

I have learned that drinking bottled de-ionized water doesn't help but tastes better, NSAIDS (Naproxen) are your best friends after 3-4 months of pain, Soy (literally all soy products) and grapefruit juice trigger mini-cycles and hinder recovery, and organic food seems to have no effect either way (could be a regional thing, though). The combination of Vitamin C and Selenium does something to help. Melatonin works, absolutely. Benzodiazepines (Restoril for me) can help over the short-term with complete insomnia. B-Complexes seem to lower the severity of tinnitus.
