Gastric distress symptoms and conditions

I was prescribed Levaquin 500mg for a sinus infection and it has caused me to have extreme nausea and gastric distress. I felt better before I took the drug and have a call in to my doctor for a different antibiotic. A friend of mine took this drug and had bad joint pain that stopped when she stopped the Levaquin. A drug with so many different side effects shouldn't be prescribed to anyone. I never usually have any bad reactions to medication. I felt better before I took the Levaquin - I feel lousy now!

I started to feel much better 3 hrs after I started taking 30mg of prednisone. I have had fevers, horrible body aches and an ugly purple, blistery rash on my hands and knees. I do however have the bloating and gastric distension also. I am trying to keep exercising and eat fruit and vegetables. The gastric distress is nothing compared to what I had had over the last year.
