Guest guest Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I have another suspicion. I read the thallium poisoning symptoms and they were identical (even down to messing up optical nerves and optical muscles, along with various neurological symptoms) as to what I have experienced since taking Levaquin. I have been under treatment for " Levaquin toxicity " or " Levaquin poisoning " for 5 months now. Well, I'm not a chemist, but I googled on " quinolone thallium " since Levaquin is a very toxic fluoroquinolone (type of quinolone) antibiotic. I found a sheet that talks about how quinolones are synthesized. It actually mentions both thallium and bromine in the process of how they are synthesized! And those are the two toxicities I have that are currently sky high! Seeing how these symptoms began with my severe adverse reaction to Levaquin (which has resulted in three hospitalizations among other nasty lingering effects), rather than with the subsequent MRIs (such as to look at the optic nerve and other affected body parts), I am actually thinking that the thallium and bromine used to synthesize the quinolones in the first place may be the culprit of my symptoms and my " off the chart " levels of thallium and bromine. I'm going to print the journal article that talks about how quinolones are synthesized from thallium and bromine (among numerous other chemicals which perhaps are not as toxic as those two) and take it to the doctor who is treating my Levaquin toxicity and see what she makes of it.
