levaquin
Other risks he said were not valid with no apparent viral sores on mouth of partner. Took the Flagyl and 4 days of Levaquin and resumed contact with normal monogomous partner. Partner later developed what GYN called a bladder infection with horrible back pains and frequent urination / urgency. She rcvd, Nitrofuran mono 100mg and took several days...did not work. Went to PCP and he gave her 6 days of Levaquin 500 mg and 5 days of Flagyl 250 mg 3 per day. That seemed to clear her up.

My Lyme doc has refused to prescribe either matronidazole or Levaquin as he says they are too heavy on the liver and have to many potential side effects. Yet I keep reading they are great for treating bart as well as lyme.
I wonder if I should insist a bit more and keep on at him. What do you think?
I've heard you can have this with fluoroquinolines like levaquin in rare cases- I'm taking levaquin now and seem ok but it seems these drugs can cause tendon ruptures
CT Scan results were negative for everything. I also had a blood test done to check for Crohn's, IBS, etc., which was also negative, along with all my other blood and stool tests. I did a pill cam procedure which showed I have ulcers through my intestinal tract. It took a year, but all my doctors finally agree with me that Levaquin did something to me. Now the question is still what?
It is a spore that is only killed with bleach outside the body, family members and co-workers may need to tested at the first sign of diarrhea, esp with that foul C diff smell Take the med and get a repeat in 3 weeks after you finish the flagyl, this can be difficult to kill. Research it, The CDC has lots of info on this posted on the net. Your family Dr probably does not have alot of experience with this in her practice.
Because of my fear about other bacteria from the oral he gave me Flagyl, (4) 500mg pills at once x 2 days and 30 days of Levaquin, 500 mg 1 x day, and said that that would knock out any other stuff that might be present. From Dr. Hook and Dr. Handsfield I understand that Chlamydia is not transmitted orally so my fears were primarily GC since the Levaquin is a fluoroquinolone. After the Avelox, Flagy and 4 days of the Levaquin I resumed sex with my partner.
Thinking it could be diverticulitis, the gastroenterologist has me on first was Levaquin then on Cipro and flagyl and a clear diet for two days. All that did was make me extremely hungry although the left quadrant pain did subside a little. Starting back up with low fiber diet has started the left pain again. I have tried Hyoscamin and that helped a little. So far I am still in pain and discomfort and am getting extremely frustrated. Any suggestions or comments.
I started a hi-potency probiotic during the flagyl and continued it for about 2-3months after the flagyl. I thought it might help to keep the infections away or something, but I noticed my stools were always very loose, soft, almost diahhrea ever since taking the flagyl + probiotics.
I kept thinking it was from the flagyl so i continued the probiotics up until february and then it dawned on me that it was probably just from taking the probiotics.
cipro, flagyl , levaquin to name the ones I was on the most. Nothing seemed to help as it keep coming back. I ended up in the hospital over the holidays and was advised to have an elective colon resection due to all of the scar tissue that had formed and the fact that my colon, in the sigmoid area, was starting to stricture( close up). I had it over 3 months ago and am recovering, although slower than I hoped.....lol...I am a very impatient patient.
Two questions: 1) If my wife is amoung the 90% who do NOT have Leviquin resistant gonorrhoeae, is 10 days of Leviquin enough to cure it without a shot or other meds? 2) She was symptomatic with 2 red bumps with white centers but now they are gone, does this mean she is likely cured and does NOT have the drug resistant strain?
I have had a total of 10 diverticulitis attacks since 2006, of which 7 have been in the last 2 years, and 3 in the last month an a half. I had 10 days of Flagyl and Levaquin beginning March 15, then 10 days beginning April 15, and I'm starting a 14 day dose today. My sed rate was 80 but WBC is normal. Scans in March and April showed mild diverticulitis. Is this normal to continue to have to take these anti biotics? It seems to me that they must not be working for my infection.
about this he did a pelvic exam and he sent me home with two different kind of antibiotics (flagyl and levaquin) The meds were pretty much unbearable and I did some more reasearch and I found out that people who took levaquin were having the same kind of reactions as me, so....I stopped taking them.
The symptoms seemed to go away so I figured it was gone, it came back about two weeks later I returned to the doc and he gave me the two meds again. I took them and the symptoms went away.
He then stopped the doxy, gave me one gram of azith, and put me on flagyl (100mg 2x daily) to deal with possible trich. The following day the tip of my penis started to become a little red at the tip, which it was not before. I started to notice minor discharge as well. Pain when urination was lower but still noticeable. I therefore decided to return to see him today. He looked at urine again (3 hours since last pee) and saw a big increase in white blood cells.
With no improvement of my symptoms from the advice my urologist gave, 5 days ago I went to a doctor who specializes in STD treatment. He took 3 urethral swabs and so far only has results back for chlamydia and gonorreha which are both negative. At our initial appointment he started me on doxycycline 2 times per day for 2 weeks and same regimine for flagyl. With 5 days of these 2 meds and about 3 weeks of levaquin i don't feel any better. Still discomfort in my urethra with no discharge.
Hi, I took Flagyl and azithromycin for 4 months. I was afraid of it, but it actually was fine. I had to be sure to 'layer' my stomach with food as someone said (was it you?) in another comment string, and once I got that down pat, I was fine. (Also took probiotics: S. boulardi and acidophilus, and am still taking them.
Recently I saw my MD and she ordered several blood tests and MRI to look for MS and other peripheral neuropathy causes. All blood tests and the MRI were normal. I think that I have had a severe drug reaction and do you think the shooting pain is Levaquin related? I took Ibuprofen for the tendon pain for 2 years starting the day after I finished the Levaquin 3 years ago. Did this increase the nerve damage? I have no balance or muscular strength problems.
