I was on Levaquin for 3 months. I eventually developed what I call "Full-Body Tendonitis" and had to stop. The leg and arm pain ebbed away after about a week.
Since being off of it I've gotten a lot of my symptoms back: night sweats, jerking limbs (sometimes violently so), low grade temp (that's actually new), the damn electric feeling in my arms and back that makes me break down and cry when I've not cried over Lyme in so long, etc.
My LLMD put me on Mycobutin and Amoxcillian. However, whenever I take the Mycobutin, my legs hurt sooo badly. The knees hurt to unbend, the muscles feel tight, the tendons feel like they're hurting. I stopped the Mycobutin and the signs go away. My LLMD thinks it's a herx but it's so much like the pain on Levaquin!
Anyone else have/get pain of any kind on Mycobutin? I'm going to keep taking it and hope the leg pain stops, but if it doesn't, I really don't know if I can continue with it as it keeps me awake, makes me unable to get in any comfy position, etc. And why, if a herx, only affect me legs?

I started mycobutin a few weeks ago. So far I have not experienced any new type of pain.
I did have pain when on Levaquin almost two years ago, which is why I stopped it. No pain similar to that, though.
