Had prostrate infection. Urologist put me on Levaquin for 30 days. Told all my urinary problems would go away. I am 64 with some other non-related health problems and I take other RX's. By day 20 I was gretting pains in my lower right leg at night. Had difficulty in sleeping with that pain, it get severe by morning. Took sleeping pill (Ambien) and Loritab to sleep. Found I could decrease pain by putting two pillows under my legs at the kneee joint point. Was able to get sleep. When RX ran out I didn't refill right away. Even went to quick care and they gave me a muscle relaxer. That did nothing.Pain took 4-5 days to stop. Called Doc (ending up talking to office staff) and told them the results were not as advertised. They said to refill and take for another 10 days and they made me an appointment. Did not mention (my fault) my leg problems as I wasn't sure the RX was the problem. Started taking drug again three days ago. This muscle pain in leg started again. Previously I tried heating pad and a strong vibrator without success. This morning I decided to search WEB and found this great place. Will not take any more of the drug. Will ask Doc what else is avbailable. I hear taking Antibiotics for too long can make you immune to them. Of course I am forgetting the pain of getting another exam from the Doc...you guys know...it feels like his finger is a telephone pole.

i heard something on the television about a lawsuit involving advair and came across this site looking for information. i have been on advair for aprox 8 years. when i read some of these comments i began to cry. it so said exately what i have been feeling right down to being diagnosed with rhumetoid arthritis and fibro. i spent 6 hours in the er last week with a heart rate of 112. i went to my doctor as recommended after my visit and he blew me off because he was mad i went to the er and told me to go see a surgeon to cut into my collar bone, go down to my lungs and biopsy them. i see a different doctor next Thursday for a second opinion. i am so tired of being sick and to think, it could all be from this one thing. i am going to talk to the doctor about this on Thursday.
