Snail symptoms and conditions

I went to the doctor on 9/11/09, having been sick for a couple of weeks w/ nasal congestion and then developing muscle aches, fatigue, and a fever, along with the new symptom of a cough. My doctor was on maternity leave, so saw someone else in the practice, who hastily diagnosed a sinus infection and prescribed penicillin. Got the beginnings of hives on Sunday early in the a.m., called the pharmacy, discontinued the penicillin. Still had a fever and was miserable, called the doctor on Monday to document the hives for my medical chart, and said I thought it was flu, not an infection. Finally was called back, and they called in levaquin, despite my thought it wasn't infection. Fever had broke finally, and I was making some progress, but figured the doctor knows best and took one dose of levaquin before bedtime. Had horribly vivid daymares/hallucinations and kept telling myself, "Its not real!" Woke the next morning, and could barely move. Couldn't get from the couch to the tv a few steps away and knew I was in serious trouble. Called the doctor and the nurse said they wouldn't see me, no appointments, so my husband took me to the ER. ER doctor said it was a reaction to levaquin, discontinue use, and it would take probably a day to pass through my system. Also said I had a virus, not an infection to begin with. (Horribly ironic, huh). It is now Thursday, 9/17, and I move like a snail. I have no stamina, and can barely walk. I went to work (I'm a teacher) and cried after walking my kids down to art. Am I ever going to feel normal again? This is really depressing. I was a healthy, active person before I took a dose of this poison.

Sophie,
I have exactly the same thing you do. Mine, however has just hit recently (I have been off of Yasmin 11 months.) My head pains are not very bad now....that eventually goes away although they did last for weeks at a time. My eyes still do not focus. I have had my glasses (I cannot wear contact lenses anymore...they make me sick.) changed 6 times in the past year. I am going back Wednesday to get them changed again. My optometrist told me that my eyes were not really changing that much; I was just extremely sensitive to light changes. Sometimes I feel as if my eyes are not tracking together. I call it "snail eyes." Anyway, I would not be too worried about it at all. Mine has continued to get better...there for a while, I could not read for a couple of months, because I could not focus on a page of writing.
