Guest guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Good morning everyone. I am looking for some input into some new developments with my daughter. I will try to include all that I can but still keep this short and to the point. My head is spinning. My daughter started treatment a year and a half ago. Prior to treatment, she had numbness in her leg and some minor issues with movement. About a month into treatment, the leg/foot turned in a bit and she had difficulty getting it into a straight position. She walked like she was a bit " pigeon toed " . This lasted about a week and resolved. In late October, tindamax was added to her other 2 meds, 2 days on and 5 off. In early January, she (we) got the flu. It lasted about a week. I did not give her the tindamax that week. (really nasty flu) but resumed the dosing schedule the next week, and it was during this week that she started to complain of her leg feeling numb. (same leg that turned in way back when) It is now to the point that she can not lift her foot (her foot wants to stay in a pointed toe position) and there is decreased strength in the leg. Her llmd said we need to go to a neurologist. So...I know that tindamax can cause numbness...and I am afraid that this is a reaction..however, since she had the episode back in the beginning of treatment, I guess this new episode could be a herx. Has anyone had numbness with this med? Does anyone have any suggestions for a ll neurologist? I am in NJ. I thank anyone, in advance, who has any thoughts on this situation with my daughter. She is very, very discouraged and it breaks my heart which I did not think could break anymore! Feel free to send me an email if you prefer. sandsure@...
