weeks 1-15 can be read here: Bad Luck or Antibiotic-Induced Tendon Rupture?

Since being floxed last fall, I’ve been dealing with a significant number of medical issues. Since fluoroquinolone toxicity is not something many doctors know about, I am going through the process of ruling out other causes for my symptoms. I also had a Lyme disease test – the results were inconclusive, but showed evidence of a prior Lyme infection or a prior/current infection of a different tick-borne illness. This definitely complicates things a bit and I am curious … in your opinion, due you associate the symptoms below with Lyme disease, FQ Toxicity, both or neither?

Exhaustion, body aches and joint pain

Torn labrum (right shoulder)

Marked increase in anxiety levels

Reflux

Increased tinnitus and hearing issues

Extreme, unjustified DOMS post exercise

Torn bicep tendon

Insomnia

Nerve pain on face (mild tingling or burning sensation)

IBS-like symptoms

Right knee pain making it difficult to walk at times, occasional left achilles tendon pain

Random “buzzing” or vibration sensation in quads.
