My Journey- Good and Bad!

yesterday cause I am fed up with my Dr beating around the bush about whats going on with me. He too said I may have to have another surgery to scrap out the dead skin. Im just praying it takes care of itself.

 I told him that I was sick of not know what was going on, that I was sick of not seeing the test results, etc. He went and got the papers and let me hold them in my hands and read them.

Thank GOD its not staph infection, but it is a bacteria. So that sucks.

I told him about what happened with the levaquin. He said that that dose may have been too high and I wasnt allergic to it. Im not a complete idiot, I could breathe, and didnt have a rash. But the side effects were horrible on me. He said it was JUST side effects and that I should continue taking it but in a lower dose for a longer period of time. So, he put me on 500mg instead of the 750mg. I was scared to take it, but I did yesterday while I was at Moms house and my sister who is an RN was there.  I didnt have the confusion and the side effects werent as bad. But they were still there. I felt drunk, like I had drank way too much coffee, my head hurt, heart raced, sweated, etc. Not as bad as before though.

The Dr said that I really had not other choice by mouth than to take the levaquin. He said I HAD to take something or they would have to put me in the hospital and give me IVs if I didnt take it. So.. I guess Ill just have to take it and be sick to get better.

I had asked him if I even had to go back to see the surgeon, because honestly, Im fed up with him/his offfice. Of course he said I needed to, but I needed to continue to see him as well because he is an infection specialist and knows more about it than the surgeon would.
