DEATH CAPSULES

Without going into too much detail, let's just say that the past week has been less than fun for me. I noticed, what I thought was just a rash on my chest and up behind my ears last Monday, after seeing a doctor it's been un-officially determined that I have folliculitis (if you want to know more- google it). He took some samples, and by took, I mean poked me with a needle until I bled or had some kind of liquid come from my "rash" area. No official results until later this week but he gave me an antibiotic in the mean time- which made my week heck, to say the least. I felt like Phoebe on Friends when Monica gave her meds for a headache - I felt like these were death capsules. I've never been real concerned by side effects of medications before, but when you have multiple- it becomes a big deal:
Levaquin side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop using Levaquin and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
dizziness, fainting, fast or pounding heartbeat;
sudden pain or swelling near your joints (especially in your arm or ankle);
diarrhea that is watery or bloody;
confusion, hallucinations, depression, unusual thoughts or behavior; CHECK, maybe I'm always confused and have unusual thoughts though
seizure (convulsions);
pale or yellowed skin, dark colored urine, fever, weakness;
urinating less than usual or not at all;
easy bruising or bleeding;
numbness, burning, pain, or tingly feeling in your hands or feet;
fever, sore throat, and headache with a severe blistering, peeling, and red skin rash; or
the first sign of any skin rash, no matter how mild.
Less serious Levaquin side effects may include:
nausea, diarrhea, constipation; CHECK TO THE FIRST
feeling restless, anxious, or depressed; CHECK
headache, dizziness; CHECK
muscle pain;
sleep problems (insomnia or nightmares); CHECK, I noticed insomnia first, but I did have a few crazy dreams
vaginal itching or discharge; or no comment
mild skin itching. CHECK - i itched everywhere! Thank you benadryl!
