I was recently prescribed avelox for a cold or sinus infection and had a severe reaction. Within 10 minutes I became extremely hot and itchy from my feet to my neck. I then felt my hands swell and cramp closed. My husband called the ems when i couldn't stop coughing and my face became beet red. I couldn't catch my breath. I was able to walk to the ambulance with assistance, but once in there I felt like i would vomit. At the hospital i couldn't open my eyes and had extremely pain and itch in my legs that caused me to thrash my legson the bed. I was given 50 then another 50 mg of benedrill along with adivan. Slowly I came out if the pain. It was not a panic attack. I had them several years back. This was pain, itch, burn and swelling in my legs, neck and hands and difficulty breathing. It has been 24 hours now and i still am having a hard time opening my hands from the cramping. At times i still feel as though my extremities are numb. I would not recommend this .
