Thank you for this site...although it is too late being I already...

So about 5 mins ago the nausea took over and I vomited very violently in the toilet.

3 or 4 monster hurls of what was mostly water in a projectile fasion - then the last one of some of what I ate earlier. Nasty, but hope I start feeling better soon.

No longer feeling nauseous, but now have a slight pain my lower right abdomen.

Damn this Avelox....

Figures I get all the wonder drugs. 1st Bextra, then Vioxx, now this. At least the anti inflammatories they took off the market actually seemed to help...Avelox is straight up POISON.

Hi

Since the beginning of December 2008 I have been fighting which has been a Sinusitis infection with bronchitis. At the time I did not know what it was, as I thought it was a really bad cold. On December 20th I decided to go to a clinic other than my own because my doctor was gone on vacation. The doctor I saw told me, even though I decribed the green, yellow, grey, black and maroon mucus I was hacking up, that it is viral as my lungs sounded good. He told me to drink a lot of water, sound familiar John? On December 26th I went yet to another clinic where the doctor there examined me and told me that I have a very bad sinus infection and of course bronchitis. He gave me a prescription for clarithromycin (I never had this drug before) and Nasonex spray. Like you John, I am used to taking Amoxicillin.Anyways, the clarithromycin was very strong and I ensured that I would not have stomach cramps or frequent trips to the washroom by taking "PB 8 Pro-Biotic Acidophilus" to restore the good bacteria in my intestines. However, I did experience the same breathing problems as you did, the tingling,cold sweats, shakes, numbness and muscle pain.

That drug only relieved symptoms for approximately a day, then they returned. I finished the prescription but the infection & bronchitis came back. Since my doctor had returned from vacation I explained to him what I had and still was going through. He decided to give me prescription for Amoxicillin for 7 days, I think he should have made out for longer as I started to feel fine near the end of the cycle.

After this I prayed that I would be better but stranger things happened, back and chest pain, trouble swallowing the drainage from my sinuses - just for the record I do not usually swallow mucus but during sleep or at times when I cannot hack it out in public. When this occurred I also had a little difficulty in breathing. I also experienced wierd things like canker sores breaking out in my mouth overnight. Pimples under my arms and rashes.

I have been to 6 different doctors and my nose, ear & throat specialist. All 6 doctors each listened to my lungs and told me they sound normal, I have had X-rays taken of the lungs, throat and sinuses, the results to come next week.

I went to a health food store because I read through the Internet about Oil of Oregano and what benefits it can have on the body.I bought this oil and started taking it internally (really go slow with it as it is very powerful). Within the first day of taking the oil the canker sores vanished, (normally it would take about a week for them to disappear). The pimples and rash disappeared litterally overnight. My coughing also diminished quite considerably and my back pain lessened so that I can sleep. I really feel this oil is what is cleaning my system and my strength is returning. I am able to go for my regular gym workouts and I have resumed my cardio.

I hardly think, if I had some grave disease that I would be able to perform my workouts or cardio and not feel winded or tired. However, there is still the clearing of the throat and the cough which follows this as well as a slight pain near my right shoulder blade. I will know next week what exactly is there as the X-ray & blood work results will come back.

Sorry,ifv this is long, but I wanted you to know that I have been experiencing similiar symptoms like you and I wanted you and everyone to read up and try Oil of Oregano as I really feel it is helping me through this.

Well John877, it's been 7 months since your post and I hope you are all better..... I woke up this A.M. (6-19-09) with a Metalic taste in my mouth (first time ever) and can't figure why ,( I have taken Vitamins & supplements for years and never had any adverse reactions ) ...I wonder if it could be the H2O2 I started ingesting a few weeks ago to clear up a sinus / lung condition that I can't seem to get rid of...Check out http://www.landrights.com/hydrogen peroxide.com....This site with it's Links contains some pretty good info....Just be sure to check with your M.D. or Homophatic Practioner for their input...

Hello,
I started Nexium about a week ago and I stopped it 2 days into taking it.It has caused the Metallic taste/smell and it is truely annoying it almost smells like ammonia.I also have a very very dry mouth/throat with these,my dr told me there is no meication to take this away.So do I live with it. I think we all need to contact the makers of these meds and tell them they need to make a cure for this taste as I am annoyed. I also take effexor xr and anti anxiety medication and that to can cause this so i have no clue as what to do.If anyone knows please contact me @tamkahler@yahoo.com thank you.
