Salesmen symptoms and conditions

first levaquin pill i took my cheeks turned blazing red and hot, so i stopped, but my family doctor pursueded me to take the rest so i obliged as she took them with no ill effects, now these were prescribed by a ENT doctor, when i told him about side effects his reply was" I'd Never prescribe anything i felt would hurt you", these doctors are oblivious to the side effects some of us do have, not everyone has side effects but if your the unlucky ones its a HUGE side effect, feeling as though your leg muscles have evaporated,( NUEROPHY maybe) struggling to walk, swollen legs and feet, legs so tight you can't even squat down, but the fingers are not swollen, no shoes will fit on my puffy ankle, feet, if you had side effects from levaquin, Stay away from ALL fluoroquinolone antibiotics, drugs in this class,used as a last resort measure, seems the old standbys have taken a back seat, theres some fast talking drug salesmen out there pushing this as SAFE SAFE,, i have found side effects can show up weeks after i quit the drug, so far i think some say takes a long time to get over, other problems can be permanent
even two months after my last levaquin my face neck, get really flushed, im way beyon hotflashes in age.
i to feel i have aged 25 yrs in the past few months all due to levaquin

Help me! I have stopped taking Yasmin for about 4 or 5 months because my husband and I want to conceive. I AM STARTING TO LOSE MY HAIR! I am so worried about this as I am losing at least double the normal amount everyday and this has been happening for about a week now. I have noticed the difference as my hair is not very thick. My husband has noticed. My friend says she can't tell, but if you look in my bathroom and my comb you would think I was undertaking radiotherapy. I went to my doctor two days ago and she thinks it could be thyroid or iron problems. She thinks it could be ceasing the pill but is unsure......PLEASE, is there ANYONE who has experienced this? And if so will it stop? I am so distressed about it.

I went on NuvaRing in June or July 2005. and in may 2006 I started having eye pain behind my eyes, which i thought was my sinuses but it turns out it is posterior Scleritis, which is a form of localized autoimmune disease, which of course, the doctors know nothing about and cant treat unless I agree to take steroids all the time or Methotrexate (the same medicine used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and which causes hepatitis as a side effect). no one has told me that the NuvaRing and Scleritis could be related but after reading the multitude of symptoms women have had on this site, i am starting to wonder if there is a relationship between the two. i have no history of anything like this, I'm 26 and otherwise very healthy.

LEVAQUIN is a FLURO quinelone. The fluoride replaces the iron in metalloproteases in your tendons. Remodelling to stress thus fails to occur. It is a molecule shapped like a horseshoe. The base is the formula for an INHIBITORY neurotransmmitter: GABA. It also causes cardiac hyperpolarization. If these dangers are not carefully examined before taking the drug, you are playing Russian Roulette.

But don't just be hysterical. Read. America can't survive as a nation of hedge fund BSers with no grasp of science or math. Doctors are drowning in HMO paperwork and 5 mins. per patient. They can't be thorough and don't have time to read other than the BS of drug salesmen. So don't go by the stupid TV ads. READ-->LEARN-->READ--> and contact the FDA and drug company to get their info on your side effects. If they lie, you have a case. Fight for yourselves instead of just panicking over symptoms. That could kill you whether you stop or not the drugs.
