Re: Peggy/Levaquin...Thanks Joyce

[Guest guest]

As someone who first got iv'ed with it yesterday and on the pills

today, timely reading. Now, at least I'm warned for what to look out

for. It's so funny, when at the hospital getting it, I mentioned to

my ex-wife who took me that I sure wish I was at my computer, I knew

it had been talked about a lot, and i could get the information. So,

in hospital, I think of here as better source of info. And, as Joyce

writes, she proves me correct. So much better than the Information

sheet that came with the prescription too. Do those all start looking

the same to you?
