Levaquin/ALS symptoms

[stacykoca]

I have a friend with ALS symptoms who recently had an EMG that tested positive for "anterior horn cell disease", which could be ALS. He began noticing symptoms after taking the abx. Levaquid. I did a search and found several instances where people have reported ALS symtoms after taking Levaquid. Would Levaquid change EMG results?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice

I took Levaquin, last winter to treat a bad URI. I remember having major brain fog and had to stop taking it. While at the pharmacy I forgot my address and phone number. Not typical of a thirty four year old healthy male.Later that day my legs went completely numb and I could not get the feeling back for ten minutes.

The last few months I have had balance issues, vestibular problems, weak muscles, sore neck, back and head. I was told the UrRI comprimised my vestibular system and have been in Vestibular Physical Therapy for over two months. While I feel I am getting somewhat better I do question my diagnoses.  I hoped this in some way answered your concern.

Good Luck...

oh my goodness that is very strange, i had pneumonia May 17th doc prescribed Levaquin and then after the 5th dose had strange headache at the top of my head, went to neurologist and they found spots on the brain. I have been foggy too weird muscle and joint pain wonder if a correlation exists?
