Arthritis is a mystery disease. I had crippling legs cramps and hand cramps on Gleevec. My sister never had CML and yet she is in the worse pain ever! Pain in her lower back, knees and etc. She did take Celebrex at one time but was taken off of it. She has had knee operations, shots at the site of pain and etc. I had the starting of arthritis pain in my hands on Tasaigna. I still have some in my hands on Sprycel, but not much. We are all different and meds affect each and everyone of us differently. I have been put on many drugs that I knew my body wouldn't be able to handle, and informed my PCD of such. Trial and error seems to be the answer to drugs. A good PCD will work with you on this. Good luck, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 10/27/2012 5:06:34 P.M.

Yes, Patrick, I understand my family is notorious for side effects, My poor mother has been deaf for 2 years due to one dose of Gentamycin. What annoys me most is that when you DO correlate the antibiotic with being "crippled" they either do not believe you or state that it is such a "rare" side effect that they do not have a clue what to do for you! When in truth, the side effects from Levaquinn, Cipro and Avelox are rampant even though many do NOT realize that is what is "wrong" with them. So many patients are diagnosed with Fibro or Poly myalgia and the doctor never even asked if they patient had taken a floroquinolone. Makes me crazy!!! It was the worst pain I have ever experienced, not to mention the eye issues and brain fog!

It even has a rare side-effect of audio and visual hallucinations and "wrong thinking". Guess who had that reaction. Try showing up at the ER because an antibiotic is making you crazy and hallucinate. "Do you have hallucinations often?" "Do you hear just sounds or do you hear voices?" As for Millie's muscle and joint type of pain I get that from any SSRI (Zoloft, Paxil etc.) - the pain was much worse than the depression they were trying to treat! I could on about side-effects forever. The med students love me. They were giddy when I had an episode or Transient Global Amnesia 7 or 8 years ago. Still have no clue on that...

To: _cmlhope@googlegroups.com_ (mailto:cmlhope@googlegroups.com) Date: Saturday, October 27, 2012, 1:14 PM HI Millie, What you are describing to me is something that I dealt with for over two years; the cause of my severe muscle joint and tendon pain WAS caused by a medication. It was an antibiotic called Cipro and is in the class of Floroquinolones. It is the number one prescribed antibiotic for just about everything from urinary track infections to sinus infections and dental work. They often give it to patients that are hospitalized and they do not even know what they have been given. Levaquinn and Avelox are also in that class of drugs. I believe that they have destroyed my mothers life as she continues to suffer from "Polymyalgia", too......I recently found and DUMPED 4 bottles of Levaquinn from her medicine cabinet. It floors me that they continue to prescribe this class of drugs to her. Thye destroy the sheath around you muscles and tendons and destroy you joints. Please, please look into your medical history to see if you have EVER taken one of these drugs; there are current lawsuits surrounding Levaquinn for the exact type of pain that you describe, Most importantly do not EVER take these drugs; unless it is a very last resort! Here is a link to my "other" blog: _http://www.cipro-poisoning.com/2010/04/beware-of-antibiotic-cipro.html_ (http://www.cipro-poisoning.com/2010/04/beware-of-antibiotic-cipro.html) Important post; _http://www.cipro-poisoning.com/2012/02/taking-antibiotics-ruptured-my-tendon.html_ (http://www.cipro-poisoning.com/2012/02/taking-antibiotics-ruptured-my-tendon.html) News; please watch this one: _http://www.cipro-poisoning.com/2011/10/check-out-this-video-exposing.html_ (http://www.cipro-poisoning.com/2011/10/check-out-this-video-exposing.html) While I hope that this hasn't happened to you, I would bet that at some point in time you have taken one of these antibiotics and it may help to explain your pain. It was the worst pain that I have ever suffered, but three years down the road I am MUCH improved; I also wonder if there is some link to CML as I was dx with CML after taking the antibiotics.
