Skin sensitive symptoms and conditions

It seemed to begin with a 2 day headache. As I had a severe UTI, I was not sure if the symptoms I was having were because of the Levaquin or the infection. The headache was the first "unusual" symptom I had within 1 hour of taking the Levaquin. Then the muscle aches, tendon pain, arches of feet hurt, arthritis in hands became more painful than I had ever experienced, very fatiqued, skin sensitive to touch, tingling sensation on arms, racing heartbeat (may have been due to anxiety of other symptoms). These symptoms continued for 6 days until 24 hours after stopping medication. I discontinued it after researching side effects on internet as Patient Information sheet that came with medication was vague. I still have tendon pain in left elbow, and arches of feet. Amazingly, I have had knee surgery and back surgery, but neither of these areas seemed to have been affected. Still don't feel "right", but hopeful will continue to improve.

I'm amazed that it's prescribed for acne since I broke out worse than I have in a long time after taking it. Using it to treat vaginal infection, extreme bleeding (12 weeks) and now that the bleeding has stopped I have a yeast infection. Also skin sensitive to light, vomiting and severe nausea within 20 minutes if taken on an empty stomache and mild headaches and dizziness that last all day. I'm not generally prone to headaches so this was a noticeable side effect. I wish my RN had told me some of these side effects before hand so I didn't have to wonder what was happening to me and be totally clueless until after 10 days of taking it, coming online and finding that what I'm experiencing is actually "normal" for this drug.
