I was put on Levaquin (500mg / day) for chronic prostititis. My doctor prescribed a 60 day supply / treatment. I am currently on day 56. A couple of times during the treatment, I noticed some minor, abnormal muscle pains in shoulders / upper arms / legs, with general weakness. When I informed the doctor, his nurse said that that is one of the side effects and it will go away after I am off the medication. Yesterday I spent all morning doing yardwork. Perhaps sun sensitivity or allergies have added to the side effects, but I have been in more pain today then ever. I just came across this website today. I hope to report back soon that the side effects do indeed lessen over time. But reading some of these posts concern me. Stay tuned.

Dear Silke,sarah and all new comers.
Well on Nov 9th i hit the 12month mark off yasmin and to all the newcomers i owuld like to say i have been reading these posts for the whole year and you are all where i was and in some ways still am. Do not get me wrong I HAVE RETURNED TO WORK, I CAN LEAVE MY HOME, i do not get someone to ring me at 7am every day to see if i am still alive as i truly thought i would die in my sleep and all that was my anxiety.Sarah i too got charles linden tapes and they helped me a great deal i ordered them over the net one night when i was desperate and i was so thankful. take each day as it comes and i know that is so so hard i remember last xmas being exactly where you all are, silke telling me i was going to be ok and as i served xmas lunch i was pooping into my computer to read posts to reassure myself i was not going insane. I have come so far and so will you all. Some things are still there, i still get heart palps sometimes and Bilberry is great for the eye floaters i got it in a health shop and its great, I gain weight like no tomorrow and my gp is a woman whom agress with everything being said here and this week has ran all the relevent tests again to see where i am at. I am also seeing a chranio chiro whom changes out seratonin levels and he is running a urine analysis of he hormoes and metablics so stay tuned to that result. I just want you to know that its so hard but its gonna get better i gave my job up i was so full of anxiety etc and now i am back at work and loving it, Silke do you still get the bloating as my face is puffing a lot lately and the chiro is waiting for the results to get me something
sorry for rambling
take care,and merry xmas to all
