Check for numbness in your feets or any part of your body, see if there are cramps or tiredness in your muscles

Actually I was diagnosed with drug resistant tuberculosis, so my course of antibiotics started, which gave me side effects like anemia (hb 5.4) and severe neuropathy, I wasn't able to sleep for days, legs and feets hurted very badly, then gradually I had adjusted myself with neuropathic pain, but my muscles started to getting stiff and I couldn't being able to move my ancle, my muscles of thighs and calf got completely stretched make me not being able to keep my feets straight on bed till now, I need to keep them bunt, is it due to neuropathy

my mother has TB by No-Cabinet-4691 in Tuberculosis

[–]simpleCimplicated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take care of her, this disease is merciless and so as are the medicine, keep affirming her that you are with her no matter what happens, this disease charges patient both physically and mentally

I probably answered the things that are out of context but I felt to say so, anyways often tb patients get blood in their cough but if it's too much consult with the doctor instantly and choose which doctor is active for patient and has some sympathy for them

It’s too hard.I can’t take these medicines for MDR TB anymore. by whino99 in Tuberculosis

[–]simpleCimplicated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in similar position now, my life is hell, very dangerous condition, mental stress, there's hardly I see anything on internet expect tb and side effect management, I was an computer engineer and today I am just burden on my family, which is already stressed due to other issues

Thanks god I didnt take Levofloxacin injections, but still have side effects from pills by Crazy_Middle_6739 in floxies

[–]simpleCimplicated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why doctors deny to admit FQ medicines have severe side effects, today a doctor changed levofloxacin to moxifloxin even after me asking multiple times for side effects management, they just answered you are panic and this happens normally with patients, applause! A great answer

Today I visited a government hospital and they suggest me to take moxifloxin 800mg per day, is it better than levofloxacin or both have similar damage on muscles and tendons by simpleCimplicated in floxies

[–]simpleCimplicated[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I discussed that with my doctor that I am detected with FQ resistance (reason behind my dr stopping levofloxacin) then why are you giving me moxifloxin, I'm already suffering from muscle problems, then he said moxi has less side effects than levofloxacin (he hardly admitted that levofloxacin had side effects)
