Sandy - I just took 10 days of Levaquin for my recent sinus infection and had no trouble with it at all. It kick the bacteria's butt like my usual Z-Pak didn't. I also had to take a 500 mg tablet after my urodynamics study and then the cystoscopy. Again, I had no trouble with it at all and wouldn't hesitate to take it again.

That warning is pretty funny for someone with MS. Yup, I feel those regularly so how would I really know if it was the meds or the MS? LOL.

Barb - The weightloss is perfect! It is not too slow and not too fast. You are doing great. Keep up the good work!!!

Fin - My short trip today was walking to the mailbox and it about did me in. LOL. I can totally relate to how you feel. Then it takes about an hour to cool down and get back to feeling a little better. 's to you and I hope you feel better by this evening.

Hi everyone else! Hope you are all doing well.

Have a great night everyone!

Thanks you guys! Your the best informational people to talk to!

Sox, how did your son do tummy wise? Jim is worried about that but knows it's something that could happen.

Trish, thanks, I hope Jim does just as well on it. He takes sulfar fine so hopefully, fingers crossed.

Barb, thanks. I thought it was one of the drugs they warned about. I guess the outcome out weighs the risks at this point for Jim. Ugh so much to worry over.

Sandy, I have taken Levaquin and Cipro several times for diviticulitis attacks. They both worked just fine for me with no side effects. I didn't have any problems with my tummy or anything.

I've had stomach problems for 25 years starting with bleeding ulcers and then on to colon problems. I have been on stomach meds constantly since then. Every time I stop taking the meds, I get another ulcer so I'm not going to stop anymore.LOL

I hope it works for Jim.

My goodness, miss one day here and you get lost.

I had a really bad SX day yesterday and still no OK yet. I vented about it in it's on thread here and a little under Stumble Inn.

Barb, Woo Hoo on the weight loss.

Kay, sorry about your day. I hope you get your passport back real soon.

Frank, I'm alway happy when I put something together and there are no left over parts.


I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Congrats on the weight loss, Barb!! I think I found everything you lost!! I'll be more than happy to return it to you.....I have GOT to get with the program here and lose some of this extra insulation I have put on.

I'm blaming it on the meds I take.....Neurontin, Baclofen, etc. and the steroids. And also the self medicating methods I use......Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, etc........

Not going to see Joel tonight. Jim isn't feeling 100% so we'll just stay home. We can't get a refund but I am going to call the United Center and tell them to just give our tickets to someone who calls, plus parking. I don't know if they will do that but it's worth a try. It's OK that we're not going because it is in a bad neighborhood and the show doesn't start until 7:30pm.

Unless someone here who is in the area wants them and can pick them up? They are in section 333a plus parking, free to a good home. :-)

PS: My mom was dx'd with MG yesterday. Ugh, what else can happen? I posted a thread in the MG forum.

Sandy, Sorry to hear about your mom. Hope the new med helps Jim feel better soon.

~~~~~~~~~~

Just sitting here getting ready to tackle some chores today. Not sure if it's just a metaphor or what I'm really going to have to do to get through them, LOL

Haven't been outside today, so feeling pretty good thus far. Kinda hate this hiding under a rock thing, but learning to deal with it. Now if I paint my rock and get some comfy cushions to hide under it - we'll know I've gone off the deep end.

Stay cool and have a great day everyone.
