Side effects from this fucking, fucking antibiotic. I am SO e-mailing regular!doctor and telling him how pissed I am. In addition to the jaw pain, all my joints hurt, and my hands are swollen. These are, apparently, also common side effects to this fucking panzer antibiotic.
Teppy, I'm so sorry that you are having so many problems with these antibiotics. I have to say, though, that your symptom rants are very helpful for me. I'm on Levaquin, and it looks like I'm going to have to take a second series. Anyway, while my side affects are no where near as bad as yours, I had been wondering about some sharp pains, and had been talking down that hypochondriac voice in my head. It's nice to know that there's a real cause for the pain and that I'm not dying. Also, I never would have looked it up because I never would have thought of an antibiotic being a possible cause for a pain, so I was blaming the stomach issues on it, but not the pain. So, I didn't mean to turn this into mememe. Really, it was supposed to be saying thank you and {{{{{{{{{Teppy}}}}}}}}} and antibiotic and doctor ~ma.
So, it's not just the people in my office who are having a monday today, then?
I had no idea everyone's day was going so badly, because my day was going like crap and I've hardly had time for b.org. Perhaps the antibiotics are affecting my motivation and memory as well, because even though I'm swamped, I can't remember half of the urgent things to do, so I'm doing other, less urgent things. Plus, I'm not doing them well because my brain has decided to take a holiday. Argh!
I hope this means really great weekends for people. (the bad fridays)
You and me both!! I must admit, though, that I'm not optimistic about this one. Plus, I want chocolate and can't have it. Ack!
eta: Off to start the weekend. Good luck all and ~ma to those who need it!
