Browsing the internet symptoms and conditions

Ladies, I just wanted to add a post to say thank you. I am 30 and my husband and I just decided to go off birth control after 12 years. I have been on the NuvaRing for nearly 3 years and was just browsing the internet tonight to read about going off of birth control (took out my ring earlier tonight). Your posts have answered so many questions that I've had about my libido, vaginal pain, and leg cramping that I had not connected to the NuvaRing. But, after reading your posts, and thinking back to when these changes started, I'm so thankful to be off of it! It is frightening to me to think of what I've done to my body (and sex life) being on BC for this many years... and specifically, the NuvaRing. Thank you, ladies, for sharing your stories.

Was given iv levaquin in hospital for pneumonia (sat night). Oral the next day. The following day (monday) all the joints in my body started to ache. Hard to move. Especially ankle. Dr said stop antibiotic. Ankle and joints sore all week. Friday I had a huge pop in my ankle. Large bruise and swelling. Turned out to be a second degree sprain with ruptured blood vessel. Caused by levoguin. It has been 13 days since the pop, ankle still popping, swelling will not go down. Does anyone know how long this drug lasts in your body?
