The doc started me on 2 meds today levaquin and a generic verson of maxifed. I was able to check up on levaquin and they said it was fine. I can't seem to figure out the other. Has any one else had problems? I now have brain fog, a headache, and a stomache ache.

Make sure your pharm puts a note in your acct that you cannot have gluten!!! My pharm is really good(I live in a small town and he calls the co for me!)

Any generic is risky make sure you check it. Just a bit of a heads up on the levaquin, if you notice any unusual symptoms or any changes in bowel habits other than the usual antibiotic effects make sure you notify your doctor quickly. You also need to be careful with it if you have blood sugar issues. If you do check your sugar often. The nastyest side effects are rare but they can occur. I will not go into details about my reaction but it was very severe..

the pharmasist said she called for me and then she said gsk made the genaric so I called they said they didn't and me and the lady tried to look it up online and came up with nothing. I don't drive and the guys at work were concerned so one of them took me home at the end of the day.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.
