Drank tons symptoms and conditions

Last year I had a bout with Gout. Poetic? Anyway I feel I traced it to the dosage of micardis. I was taking 40 mgs daily. I convinced my DR to cut the dosage to 20 mgs and drank tons of blueberry juice and haven't been bothered since. It's scary the intermingling of drugs imposed on us by the medical group. Some seem to create more problems than if you lived with the original complaint. Try getting off of some of this stuff and real problems start to surface.

I took 500mg per day for 9 out of 10 days. On the morning of the 9th day I hopped out of bed but was SHOCKED by the amount of pain I had in my feet! I could barely put my weight on my feet or walk! It was like I was 85 years old!
I stopped taking it immediately but the symptoms continued to get worse over the next 5 days. By the 5th day I had pain in my feet, knees, hands, neck, back and shoulders! I went to the doctor; they refused to believe it was a reaction to the medication so the did blood work. I tested negative for rhematoid arthritis, Lyme disease or any other auto-immune disease. THANK GOD! The doctor still wont say it was the medication. He said it was caused by a "virus" . ya right - whatever! I didn't want to take anything for the pain so I started going to the gym 2x a day,( AM &PM) to sit in the hot tub and steam room. I also drank tons of water to flush my system. I at only foods that are known to be anti-inflammatory such as red grapes, 100% red grape juice, tuna fish, sardines, pineabble, soy milk, flax seet. I also took 1000mg of omega 3 fish oil capsules (iceland health brand) a multi vitamin (geritol brand) extra calcium with extra Vitamin D, and I switched from coffee to green tea. I drank about six cups a day in addition to about 8 glasses of water. I also gave up all foods suspected of causing inflammation such as meat, processed foods, and sugars. I also (for the first time) went to a one hour reiki session with a woman who was excellent. After about a week the pain in gone almost completely, except my feet still hurt a little bit in the morning untili they loosen up. I highly recommend trying this to see if it helps aleviate your symptoms of muscle and joint pain. Good luck.

Was prescribed Levaquin for a sinus infection, today would have been my 5th day taking it, but NO THANK YOU....this is a nasty antibiotic. I'm utterly exhausted, crampy, have stomach pains, and just feel generally "out of it", as if I'm in a fog all the time. I also followed all the rules that go along with this pill. I drank tons of water, ate alot of food, avoided coffee and dairy, yet, I feel worse now than I did with the sinus infection. Glad I found this site to post.
