Now I know why I've felt so bad. I got a sinus infection that was so bad my teeth hurt. My ENT prescribed AVELOX and prednisone. After a week of feeling like crap (much worse than the symptoms that took me to the MD in the first place) I now know why I feel as bad as I do - I owe a big apology to prednisone, I've been throwing it under the bus all week. I'll be calling my ENT shortly.

First of all,quinolones should not be taken with prednisone. Your doc certainly should have known better. Steroids can and WILL increase chance of tendon ruptures with Avelox!! Read the lit on website:
fluroquinolone toxicity research foundation
www.fqresearch.org This is ALL confirmed research!!
Shame on the docs,Bayer and THE FDA for NOT protecting us from this!
Get better then get mad. Sue them all! It,s all about money!!
