Whine symptoms and conditions

I am a healthy female with little to no history of adverse reactions to medications. I was prescribed a 10 day dose of Levequin (500 mg) for a minor but stubborn skin abscess. After the third day, I woke up with significant joint soreness in my fingers. Progressively the soreness spread daily to my wrists, elbows, ankles, knees, hips, etc. I did not suspect the antibiotic at first, but I know my body, and I know something was WRONG.
After my 8th dose I decided to look online...it is at least good to know that what I'm experiencing is definitely from Levequin. Thank you all for sharing your stories.

I especially found MERCEDESLANE posting on April 15th interesting. I guess this person works in the health care system. Considering this uncompassionate individual, who apparently wants everythone to know he has a Mercedes, can't spell (whine), and does not have basic grammar skills. Wow...my faith in the our health care system is stronger than ever. But what do I know, I'm just an "IDIOT" with shingles that needs to have a couple of glasses of whine while I pop my remaining Levequin.

I work in a health care system and we have used levaquin for this last cough, cold and flu season. It has worked wonders for the various upper respiratory infections.

No one has developed rashes, boils, or bone/muscle pain. After reading the first response, her abnormal reaction sounds more like a bad case of shingles.

Then, I read the last post where the person drank two glasses of whine to help with the blah blah blah. Mixing alcohol with any type of medication will not help with Your sypmtoms were a "full fledged panic attack" as you stated from the beginning.

Nothing but idiots posting here!

Get over yourselves. Those 'other' problems could be caused by a variety of things and not necessarily have anything to do with kenalog. I LOVE the stuff! I've received it several times for trochanter bursitis in both hips, for inflammation/pain relief in my right shoulder due to shoulder/rotator cuff reconstruction, my foot for affects of severe gout, carpal tunnel in both wrists, and several other times for inflammation/pain that cannot be treated with oral anti-inflammatories due to diabetic gastroparesis. Mind you, I do suffer from bad stomach cramps for a few hours post injection, but other than that mild side effect, the medication is FANTASTIC and successful in treating my numerous problems. I think you're all just looking for excuses to whine about your problems rather than being glad that you at least have someone trying to help you.
I will recommend kenalog to anyone looking for relief of symptoms I've mentioned. My success rate is 95% +. Sometimes it takes more than one shot or being the individuals we are, we suffer some effects that aren't usual, ut this is no reason to crap on an excellent product that has helped so many, so often.
So get over yourselves and quit your pouting.

i'm going on nuvaring next month, i'll let you know how that goes. i didn't mean to dismiss the importance of everyone being different, sorry if it came out that way.
for myself, i feel that i need to be strong and help myself get better, not just whine about how terrible i feel, which i do. that's just me. for the first time in months i feel like i'm not 'drugged' and i'm going to take full advantage of that.

I am on 25mg once a day for migraines, I am a middle school teacher and I am also experiencing trouble with getting my words out. It is pretty frustrating when you are in front of a class of students and your mind goes completely blank. My biggest whine is I am addicted to Diet Coke and now it tastes awful I about died the first time I drank one after I took my medicine I was hoping it was the drink that was bad...... afraid not I miss them!!! I am also still waiting on the weight loss

My 7 and 4 yr old boys are both on Singulair. I have notice a differents with my 7 yr old with his actions. He is hitting, yelling, and doing outrage things that he has never done before. His skin is pale, he is always sick. I was reading this site to some family memebers and they were all that sounds like clifton. Logan who is now 4 was put on it since Sept of last year. Since then he has done nothing but whine when told to do something, hits out of no where. His actions are not the logan I had before this Singulair. It was pointed out by a friend today to me about this site. So i begin to look, and OMG does it scare me....TO think the whole time Ive been telling people, boys will be boys...and overlooking how much this SINGULAIR is not helping my sons. And to think they want to put my 2yr old daughter on it..I THINK NOT

thanks for sharing everything with me and others on the site

My sons are both on Singulair...The oldest is now 7 and has been on it about 2 1/2 years, I noticed a change in him but thought it was a "boys will be boys mode" so I overlookd it...Then lastyear my son come home from school and would ask to do something, I would tell him no..and he would go off on me, telling me he hated me and wanted to leave my house and never come home. Now in Sept. My children were sick with asthma, I now have 3 children and all 3 with asthma...My 4 yr old is on Singulair and does nothing but acts out with hitting, whines when he gets into trouble. Needless to say its Jan.20 and we are heading back to the doctors after my son has been up the last 4 nights with coughing all night, fine during the day but coughing at night. Im reading this site and freaking out..its so clear, the pale skin, the whine, the outrage with both boys etc etc etc, i will have them taking off of it today. And to think they wanted to put my daughter who is 2 on it. I THINK NOT.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR COMMENTS, IT MAKES ME UNDERSTAND MUCH MORE NOW WITH MY BOYS..

I took Levacquin in APril & thought it was my imagination that my hip began aching. I now have severe tendonitis & cannot drive. I am thin, an athlete & never had such a prblem. Then my kness swelled up, my neck spasms constantly & I looked this up here.

My dr. told me not to work out when taking this & I did not BUT this still happened. A small case of tendonitis is what she said might happen! Not swelled knees, bruising, fatigue like I am 90 years old. As for the idiots saying this is "whining"? I work 70 hours a week as a project manager in the FDA field. I have no time or desire to whine. Perhaps 100 plus entries does not hit you as odd but it actually is, for we educated people. DId I mention that I work in an FDA related field? I just had a sinus infection that would not clear up & I did not bargain for this ...nor was I told. I am going to go to the fda.gov website & ask for their "adverse events" reporting information (based on the drugs clinical trials) which they have to release by law. I advise that you all do as well ..... uh, except for those that have too much tome on thier hands and just don't get it.
