Levaquin and sneeze

i woke up mon july 7th with a cold and then tues july 8th i felt horrible, so much pressure in my head, bad sore throat, wanting to gag and maybe throw up, severe pain in my chest especially when i cough or sneeze, it hurt so bad i felt like crying every time i would, i had to blow my nose every 5 seconds and on top of all that i can't sleep cause i'll cough or my nose would run so bad i had to stuff tissue up there and leave it. also on top of all that mess this was the week i had to work mon-fri at 12 hrs a day since my bosses were up north all week. i went to the docter that tues (8th), i thought maybe i could kill it before it got bad. my doc checked me out, did x-rays and i had the first satage of phemonia. total bummer since i haven't had a cold in two years. my doc gave me levaquin 500mg and tussi-12, i went home that day at 4 pm, sleep, woke up around 8pm ,went for ice cream (sore throat), sleep at 12:30am and i have to say i got great sleep that night, next i felt good 9th, same thing that night too, next day 10th felt even better, everything was clearing up already it was amazing to me, no pain in my chest, barely had to blow my nose, gunk in my chest was clearing up, everything everyone has been complaining about didn't happen. it is the 13th and i feel great besides a little cough here & there & at night but a little nyquil kicks that in the butt & some tiredness but i am truly impressed with this drug i don't want to use all of it so when i have cold again i can get rid of it fast but i have too. the only complaint i do have is that my doctor didn't explain any side effects or good effects she just said take this once a day. maybe doctors fail to tell people the risk of side effects cause their so bad people won't want take. i usually can't get over a cold for 2-3 weeks so i love this stuff. thanx

I went to a Naturopath yesterday, fed up with MD's and their PA's! He did a simple urine test that found a lot of blood in the urine. They sent it to the lab and I will get the results today. I have had bad lower right back pain since March 2nd; plus a different neck, back and rib pain that persisted from 2/12 to 2/28 that now comes and goes.

The lower back pain that started 3/2/03 makes it hurt to take a deep breath, sneeze, bend over, or lie on my right side, but it does not hurt to press in that area???!!! It is between the ribs and hip, more to the back than to the side.

A week ago I called the MD who I saw the first time and who prescribed Levaquin on 2/8, and told him the symptoms that the PA dismissed on 2/20 as a virus were all side effects of Levaquin. He actually had the stupidity to tell me that the pain in my joints and muscles was not a side effect of Levaquin, but the vertigo was. I replied that on the literature that came with the Levaquin it says that those pains are side effects. He is blatently lying to me to try to cover his and his incompetent, unskilled PA's asses!
