Guest guest Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Yep, taking Levaquin, 500mg, may increase to 750mg if I continue to tolerate it. Worry about it's bad rep for muscle and tendon probs, but so far all I've noticed are typical herx exacerbations of existing pain. I started Androgel transdermal testosterone replacement ten days ago as well, so there's a lot going on, can't be too quick to attribute changes to one thing vs. another. However, the difference in how I feel today is really quite striking, compared to the last several. More so because I had to make 1 hour trip to doctor and back yesterday, and usually that causes me to feel much WORSE the next day, not better. Since I'm nattering, also striking that pain has gotten bad again, after abating some while I had this nasty respiratory bug. And today, after yesterday's shot, pain is worse than it has been for months. Basically, bad herx from neck down but feeling much better in terms of energy, alertness, and neuro symptoms like vertigo. Of course, I am now waiting for the mouth of hell to open and bite me in my Bicillin-basted butt for daring to think a hopeful thought. Man, when I get a little inkling of betterness, it really amazes me how much hope I've still got, waiting for an excuse to come out.
