It's been a while since I've had the stomach to write anything.
Battling a severe sinus infection since August 29 (102-degree fever, matted eyes, aching ears, phlegmy cough, profuse vomiting), I'd taken my kindly physician's learned advice and, instead of resorting to antibiotics right off the bat, opted to let my body try and do all the fighting on its own.
What wouldn't kill me would only make stronger, he insisted.
My doctor's an idiot.
After taking off early Friday afternoon and suffering through a long Labor Day weekend amid tissues and jello on the couch, I took the day off yesterday to pay another visit to the quack.
This time he agreed to cave in and give me some pharmeceuticals. Levaquin, I think. And some eye drops.
It was only upon deciding to sit back down to the keyboard this evening that I realized that my illness seemed to coincide somewhat with the terrible suffering of thousands in New Orleans and the greater Gulf Coast.
As my spirits begin to lift a bit, it's my hope that my delta kin are finally breathing a little easier tonight as well.
Too many spirits ain't never coming back.

Thanks for the kind words and helpful advice on the interest-free fantasy football credit, or whatever the fuck it is you're trying to sell. xxxooo
This sounds awful fishy, shawnjackson30585601. Perhaps if you head a less generic name, like shawnthewhiteonejackson. Just a thought.
My name is Chris Brown and i would like to show you my personal experience with Levaquin.
I am 50 years old. Have been on Levaquin for 5 days now. I think this is a very strong and dangerous drug. While some people may take it with no problems, many people are having severe and debilitating problems which seem to last and last. I do not think this drug should be prescribed for simple infections. There are other safer drugs to try first.
I have experienced some of these side effects-
After 3rd dose, experienced vision distortions - seeing shapes going up the wall, colored spots floating in front of my eyes, spent a night of total sleeplessness. On day 4 noticed a little tightness in my calves. I attributed it to the gardening I was doing. On day 5 woke up with very tight calves. It was painful to walk and very painful to go down stairs. When I got to work I googled side effect of Levaquin and saw all the problems people have had with taking it. I have been off of the medication for three days and still have a great deal of pain in my calves. I have difficulty walking and have had to discontinue any strenuous activity. I have never had a bad reaction to any other antibiotic. I hope these symptons go away soon. My doctor just said he would note "muscle aches" on my chart and said "all antibiotics have some side effects.
I hope this information will be useful to others,
Chris Brown
