Pulling a huge upset, the microbial phenoms known collectively as "The Sinus Infection that is plauging Dan" survived a 14-day battle with Levaquin. I, for one, underestimated them.

Levaquin, for anyone led here by Google, sucked. I will not take it again. The side effects sucked. I was fatigued for the duration of my 14 day stay. I ached. I was generally miserable. If it is prescribed to you, tell your Doctor you don't want it, and to give you something else.

After I finished my 14 day course of Levaquin on a Thursday, Friday morning found me with a swollen throat. Friday with pain in my ears. And Saturday with pressure growing in my sinuses. On Monday, accepting defeat, I went back to the (fake?) doctor. She was suprised that the Levaquin did not kick the shit out of the microbial fucks (in so many words..). So she whipped out the prescription pad again.

This time? Tequin. Nasonex (nasal spray) and a de-congestant. Now, Tequin is similar to Levaquin. So I expected to feel just as miserable this week. But I was pleasently suprised to find I feel much better. None of the psychosamatic respones that I had to Levaquin. I don't know yet if it will work, but at the very least I won't feel like shit while it fails.
