Confused Antibiotics with MG

Hi Guys,
Im writing because my doctor that treated my Myasthenia retired a couple of years ago and since I've had MG since childhood and its more or less stable I havent consulted a specialist.I do have a neurologist specializing in Migraine and a primary doctor who know of my health issues.My problem is a recent prolonged chest infection.I was treated with antibiotics ,then steriods,breathing treatments,inhalers etc,etc.Today I went to PULMONARY specialist who took All my info including allergies and the list of medications that Myasthenics should not have.Then she prescribed Levoquin.Luckily I came home and checked the internet.That drug came up immediatley as a deriative of Quinine which I always
learned(for 40 yrs) was a big NO.When I called this to her attention she re-prescibed Z-pak which I'm still not sure about. Can some one tell me,have they taken either one of these antiobiotics and their Myasthenia was unaffected?
Sorry to be so long winded----Thank you for any help.
