Well, the sickness took me down, and took me down good. After three days with fever, I went to the doctor on Xmas Eve, and he said I was somewhere between severe bronchitis and pneumonia. He put me on an antibiotic called Levaquin, gave me some mucus-thinning medication, and told me to take it easy.
Well, easy is just about the only way I could take it. I have enjoyed all of the “less common” side-effects of the antibiotic, most notably extreme irritability, inability to sleep, and my personal favorite, dizziness. Oh, the joy of the dizziness. I am reminded why taking any mind-altering drugs has never held any appeal for me.
I also haven’t been able to focus for more than one or two pages at a time, so I haven’t even been able to really dig into Wolves of the Calla, or any of the other bitchin’ books I got for Xmas.
I have watched all the appendicies on the LOTR DVDs, and I’m about to go watch some Fellowship commentary. It’s been nice to live in Middle Earth for a few days.

Wil,
Wow, what a bad time to get sick. I hope things get much better, for you, soon. Have fun checking out middle earth. These are great films.

yey….. gotta love medicine side effects…
at least yours arent permanant liver damage, convulsions and turning yellow like some of my potential ones are 😀
but glad to hear that they could help, and the side effects are worse than the leftover cough for months that you get wiht that if you leave it to heal itself…
best wishes,
sara
Will,
I have experienced, bad side effects from taking Levaquin. Its been over a year now and I am still unable to balance properly, or walk more than city block, without resting.
If you are still taking it, you should stop. Its very bad, along with other antibiotics called Quinolone.
I hope everyone takes my advice. Research it!!!
