Hi everyone.I just finished my 2nd round of levaquin 500 mil the 750 mil was given to me after my pneumonia and hospitalization I was terrified.I had never been hospitalized for anything.I'm 42 quit smoking 6 yrs ago.No other health issues,well could stand to lose some pounds.
5 days ago my knee began to hurt which I never thought twice about since I have knee issues but, then my right knee, then my hands now my entire body is sore and hurting so bad I cannot walk up the stairs to our home now due to the severe pain in my knees.I have had no other side effects.I have been on STD from my job since 11 24 due to the pneumonia.I am suppose to see my doctor today and go back to work tomorrow ha that a joke the pin I'm in.He has been my doctor since I was 19 yrs old.He is a good doctor and I am scared to death to find out what he has to say about my symptoms and the crazy bad side effects. I do not want to go back in the hospital or be told what I have is permanent.At first I thought I had the Flu.My immune system is shot due to the pneumonia so I just thought well this is great I've got the flu .Then I began reading online the side effects of this drug and was horrified.
I would implore any and all who may be prescribed this drug to talk it over with there Dr.or ask for another drug.Yes the drug kicked the pneumonia out of me which 6 other drugs could not but,the side effects are terrible for some.
I will pray for us all here today.God help us to heal.I UNDERSTAND WHAT EVERYONE IS GOING THROUGH.Hang in there. Don't give up hope or faith.
