A NEW NURSE PRACTIONER JUST PUT ME ON LEVAQUIN BECAUSE SHE FEELS I MAY HAVE PNEUMONIA.
SHE DID NOT ORDER A CHEST XRAY BECAUSE SHE SAYS MY LUNGS ARE CLEAR. THAT'S CONFUSING TO ME. MY DAUGHTER JUST TOLD ME ABOUT THE SIDE EFFECTS OF LEVAQUIN . TENDINITIS AND REPTURED TENDONS. CAN I GET OVER PNEUMONIA WITHOUT ANTIBIOTICS? I HAD A PNEUMONIA SHOT MAYBE 7 -10 YEARS AGO. I'M AFRAID TO TAKE THAT DRUG. I TOOK ONLY ONE PILL AT 7:00 PM TONIGHT. IS THERE A MORE NATURAL WAY FOR ME TO GO? I WAS PUT ON Z-PACK ANTIBIOTICS 1 YEAR AGO BY ANOTHER DOCTOR WHO SAID WHAT I HAD WAS VIRAL, BUT THAT IF I GOT A SECONDARY BACTERIAL INFECTION,
I'D NEED THE ANTIBIOTIC. HE WANTED ME TO TAKE THE ANTIBIOTIC RIGHT AWAY. THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME AT ALL. I THOUGHT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO
AVOID ANTIBIOTICS UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. I'VE HAD MY SHARE OF PAIN SINCE 1989 DUE TO 4 REAR-ENDER CAR ACCIDENTS. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANYTHING THAT WILL CAUSE ME ANY MORE PAIN.
