I was wondering if anyone had experienced a bad reaction to an antibiotic, such as a fluroquinolone? If so how did you cope with it. Many thanks

    I had a reaction to an antibiotic that caused tendonitis and horrible burning pain in my muscles. It went away a few days after I stopped taking it. I would mention your reaction to your doctor and see what he/she says.

      I can't remember the name. My doctor office knows tho. I guess I should write it down and put it with my other allergies but I forget about it.

      Hi again

      Yes it is very important for you to know the name. However most antibiotics can cause these signms and symptoms especially the fluoroquinolones which are in the process of being banned in the US.

      ​You definitely need to have this reaction recorded in your medical records and also tell any dr who tries to prescribe antibiotics which are failed chemotherapy drugs to avoid prescribing them and causing permanent damage. Sorry to be a wet blanket but best to be safe than sorry.

      Take care. x
