A member asked:
Is damage to bone marrow from a strong medication such as levaquin- reversible? can my body repair itself? low platelets ever since i stopped it

Not permanent: Levaquin is unlikely to cause damage to your bone marrow. Even if it inflammation occurred it would be temporary. So to answer your question, yes, your body would be able to repair itself.
