Pain and misery symptoms and conditions

I'm on day 12 of a 14 day course of Avelox.

I usually have problems with antibiotics that are of the Quinilone or Floxin family so I was worried about taking this medication.

I've hung in there so far. I seem to have had a middle ear infection caused by my sinusitis problems.

I have noticed some nausea, increased urination and tiredness. I haven't had any joint pain; maybe a bit of stiffness.

I never had antibiotic problems till the newer forms of the old antibiotics became popular. I know I'm allergic to sulfa drugs but never had problems with any other medications till recently.

Now I can't decide if it's worth the pain and misery to take the antibiotics that are now available.

Anyone have extreme skin sensitivity? The right side of my face and scalp have a minor burn/itch feeling. I also seem to have some small goose eggs on my head. I'm seeing the OB today. Should be interesting.

I took Lupron several years ago after having a laparoscopy for endometriosis. I had headaches- night sweats - hot flashes - bone pain - and SEVERE depression. After I had a doctor wanting to test my bone density because they thought I had lost alot with this drug - I started reading up on it and stopped taking it altogether. To think that ME (22 at the time) lost bone mass!!!! I should be worrying about this in my later years--not as a 20 year old! This stupid drug also had a huge hand in my divorce after 3 months on this drug. I was thrown into a depression so severe, I couldn't control it at all. I recently found out through my state's attorney general's office that they won a settlement with Lupron for overpricing the drug - why isn't anything being done on the SAFETY of this drug? I worry that for the time I was on this - I need to be concerned with cancer... it did nothing but cause me pain and misery - and didn't help the problem!
