I'm sending positive vibes your way. I hope tomorrow's appointment goes well and the new antibiotics will be the one that makes a difference.

Hey !
So he is on Levaquin 750mg for 5 days... Its a very heavy hitter and can come with some really bad side effects so we are hoping no ruptured tendons etc. Also on 20mg prednisone for 10 days. Even tho our Doctor knows this isnt Covid he wanted the test anyway, Took less than 5 mins ( drive thru) and we will have results in 3 days at most. Steve said it was uncomfortable but no big deal.. Steve will be seeing a pulmonary specialist ( hope that is not a long wait) and we follow up with our Doctor in 2 weeks or sooner or to the ER if he spikes a Temp or has more difficulty breathing.. He has to stop his Trazadone and Half his zoloft as taking with Levaquin can cause Long/ Prolonged QT and we dont need a damn heart issue on top of all this! If this doesnt clear the infection then he will need IV antibiotic and be in the hospital, and I wont be able to be with him.. So ummm yeah this med needs to work..

I wish the hospital wasn't such a scary place right now. It'd be good to have that as a fall back. Damned covid. Crossing all my fingers and toes that this med will turn the tide.

Praying this one works........20 years ago one of the nursing homes I worked inused this a lot and had really good results. It probably was just out and lots of shiny ads out. As I'm writing this I'm remembering that I was put on it during those same times for a massive sinus infections that would not clear and had gone on for 2 months. Like Steve I was told if this didn't work I'd need IV antibiotics but it worked. If I remember right it did make things taste weird but that might have been another in the series we tried with that infection.

I have been thinking of you, ~Christina. Good thoughts for you and your husband.
BTW Today I also gave myself the COVID-19 test at a CVS driveup window. In two to four days, I should know the results I have been better.

Thanks everyone ! Day 1 and I am watching him closely. I am praying hard that he wont have any of the terrible side effects..
Rainbow, Yes I remember when it came out I saw Doctors handing it like skittles..If they had only know they were just allowing more super bugs to effect people later.. Its a heavy drug with lots of possible severe side effects.. I took it years ago I have a sinus infection also that absolutely refuse to clear.. Now that you mention it, I think maybe I had trouble with taste too... Tucson, I hope your test comes back negative

Glad the Levaquin s doing nicely so far. I agree: no blips! But here's to you catching them if they do happen to occur.

Last night my husband just broke out sweating as in need of changing shirts and felt kinda of clammy.. No temp, Vitals were okay... Today he has been "ok " for him being sick.. He will be on Levaquin until Monday.. I can not wait until he is rid of this bacterial infection.
Hopefully tomorrow I can report hes doing the tango in the living room lol
