Beware what medication you take>
I am 77yes off age, train daily and worked 7 days a week. 2 years ago I tore a muscle in my calf, I usually simply run off any pain but my daughter pleaded for me to see my Dr, the first time in 35 years.He prescribed Quinine Sulphate. That night I took my first tablet at 7pm, by midnight I was delirious, for 5 days I was bed bound and eventually I went to AS&E. I had various tests including MRI then sent home. A few days later the hospital called me and told me to urgently go to their day emergency centre. many tests were carried out including running on a machine. When finished the Dr said he was amazed at my fitness and the strength of my cardio vascular system which for my age was excellent but even more excellent considering the blood clots my lungs and in my calf muscle. Later,I received a letter from a cancer consultant advising me that I had "Chronic Hodgkin's Lymphoma" and also a copy of a letter from the cancer consultant to my GP stating that {quote] " the catalyst that caused my cancer was the prescribing of Quinine Sulphate" I attended an appointment with the consultant who advised no treatment at that time was necessary only follow up checks. I was put on apixaban which caused unpleasant side affects and later changed to Edoxaban which has proved to be "ok" less for occasional pain in my finger ends. my question is " Has any one suffered occasional dizziness with Edoxaban and is it ok for long term use. Eyes front.
