Visual Damage

Personal Experience: Tinnitus

Yes, I've had tinnitus since September of last year. I was floxed in July 2003.

While being floxed and for several weeks afterwards, I had *extreme* discomfort from sound. Actual physical pain and a sensation of pressure in my ears. (Same thing with bright light.) Pretty much all sounds seemed louder to me than usual, and very loud sounds were excrutiatingly painful. A roomful of people talking was more than I could bear.

After about exactly two months of this pain from noise, the tinnitus started, suddenly, in the middle of the night. It woke me up out of a sound sleep.

I took Levaquin 2 months ago for a UTI. After the third dose, I went from a healthy 34 yr old to a 100 yr old woman. I had myalgia, extreme anxiety and panic, insomnia, tremors, neuropathy, tinnitus, blurred vision, and joint and tendon pain. Most of the symptoms have either diminished or gone away except for the joint and tendon pain, tinnitus, blurred vision, slight neuropathy, and some anxiety.

Phototoxicity of quinolones in animals

The phototoxic effects of quinolone antimicrobial agents on mouse auricular skin and retina were examined histologically. Sparfloxacin at 50 or 100 mg/kg, which alone causes no histologic change, was orally administered to albino Balb/c mice, which were irradiated with ultraviolet A for 4 hr immediately after administration. In the auricle, degeneration of basal epidermal cells was sporadically observed at 2 hr (during the irradiation). Foci of slight edema with degenerated fibroblasts were seen in the dermis at 4 hr.
