Antibiotics/Fibromyalgia

Published

I contracted a staph infection on my skin and was given IV vancomycin. Well, by the 3rd dose my joints and muscles ached so bad I couldn't get out of bed. Since that experience (2 years ago) I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I solely believe that the ABT caused my fibro. Has anyone ever heard that this could happen?

Well, this is an old post I am commenting on, but, yes, I am having the same experience. I have not gone to a Dr. yet, since I was just there for a strep throat infection. I had to take antibiotic for it. Now, I ache all over. My hands are sensitive and achy. I had no probelms befor taking the course of antibiotics and am now searching for an answer.
