Howard's Story
| I had gone to my doctor for about 6 months with what was thought to be a mild prostate infection. Was given Floxin after 6 months of no improvement. Took floxin for 4 weeks and began to notice a tingling sensation in my big toe. Then a rash developed on my face and tingling got worse and spread to both feet. I had finished taking the medicine and told the doctor I thought I had an adverse reaction to the medicine. He didn't think this was the case and left it at that. About two weeks later I was awakened in the middle of the night by loud ringing in both ears. After nine months neither the tingling or the ringing has stopped. |
