Skin changes, when shower, skin changes colors like blue marble? then cherry blush color with inflammation. | Former FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg named in massive conspiracy and racketeering lawsuit involving Johnson & Johnson, a Wall Street hedge fund, and the Levaquin drug. "This Amended Complaint sets forth allegations that involve a conspiracy by Defendants, each and every one of them, to reap large financial returns by failing to disclose to Plaintiffs and the public at large the full extent of the devastating, life-threatening, and deadly effects of a highly dangerous pharmaceutical drug named Levaquin," reads the opening of the lawsuit. The conspiracy complaint also alleges that over 5,000 people died as a result of Hamburg's conspiracy cover-up at the FDA: Once confirmed as FDA Commissioner, Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg acted as the instrumentality that all Defendants used to perpetrate their conspiracy and racketeering enterprise by having her act illegally and outside the scope of her authority as FDA Commissioner to suppress material information to Plaintiffs and the public that Levaquin was inherently dangerous and in fact, deadly. Had this information been disclosed to Plaintiffs and the public at large, her and her husband's financial gain and net worth would have plummeted, since Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg's husband, Peter F. Brown, reaped and continues to reap huge financial gain as a result of Renaissance Technologies, L.L.C.'s holdings of Johnson & Johnson stock. | F | 49 | 1.5 days 2X day | 7/18/2016 | 1 | Bile leak into abdomen during gallb | I was administered Levaquin while hospitalized following a botched gallbladder surgery. I experienced hallucinations, bleeding lesions on my tongue, could not stand due to excruciating pain in both legs. The surgeons in my room witnessed the side effects on the day of discharge and acted like I was still hallucinating.

Currently in physical therapy to recover from tendon damage. Fatigue still a problem along with anxiety about the next side affect from this drug. FDA has committed fraud on the American public and should be treated as criminals. | This drug should be outlawed and is poison why is it still being prescribed to unsuspecting patients. | F | 52 | 4 days 500 mg 1X day | 7/10/2016 | 1 | UTI | Severe headache, Dizziness, Brain Fog, Loopy | I went to the doctor for a check-up my doctor told me I had a UTI prescribed a prescription for Levaquin I have a 7 Day dosage I took one pill yesterday 7 /5/ 2016 in bed all day today 7 /6/ 2016 (SICK) I was not sick until I took that pill I won't take no more | F | 53 | 7 days 500mg | 7/7/2016 | 1 | pneumonia | pain in my joints of my shoulders , muscle spasms , muscle twitching in my legs , fatigue , weaknesses . | Was given Levaquin through I.V. for the duration of my hospital stay [ 5 days ] for double pneumonia and was sent home with a prescription for 10 days worth of Levaquin [ 1 tablet daily , 750 mg. ] . I started with the joint pain in both my shoulders that radiates towards the center of my back while I was in the hospital , hallucinations , muscle weakness and muscle spasms in my legs , muscle pain in my hands , inability to sleep on my sides due to the severe pain in my shoulders , fatigue and depression. I am worse off now than when I was in the hospital , Is there anything that can be done to help reverse the affects of this medication ? After going online and doing a little research , I found thousands of people that have similar if not the same symptoms that I have and currently suffering from, but the one thing that I cant find is if all the symptoms that I have permanent ? Are we all permanently scarred and left to suffer in pain just because we were administered this horrific medication at one point in our lives ? WHY IS THIS MEDICATION STILL ON THE MARKET ?? why hasn't it been pulled from the shelves ? My opinion is that some type of action needs to be taken against the manufacturers of this medication , possibly even a class action suit , and compensation NEEDS to be given to ALL the people that have been affected by Levaquin. | F | 53 | 10 days 750 1X day | 7/2/2016 | 1 | Sinus infection | On Day 1 I began to experience pain across my shoulders; decided pain would go away when I stopped 10 days of drug.
