Dear CCF:
Nine months ago while on the medication Levaquin I experienced Paresthesias that then intensified with acute burning pain to my entire body and bone pain. I wrote to the Federal Drug Administration and on their listing of reported adverse drug reactions the Paresthesia Cases all said ongoing therapy next to them.  Can you explain two things.  First, is a Paresthesias that is ongoing for 9 months with acute burning pain really
small fiber neuropathy?  That is, is a Paresthesia and a Small Fiber Neuropathy the same thing. Second, would a Paresthesia last 9 months and include not only intense burning pain but bone and joint pain along with
stiffness to the body.  Do Paresthesias cause stiffness to the body.
Lastly does anyone know whether these type of adverse reactions resolve in time.
