Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Peggy, Well you know what I think. If 3 rounds of oral antibiotics at home can't get rid of this, then you likely need something else and maybe in the hospital. It's possible though that you might just need a different antibiotic or you might need something for longer. The last time I was on Levaquin I was on it for 2 full weeks. I guess that was back when I had bronchitis in September (? I think it was September) Keep me posted as much as you can. Make sure TT has my phone number, ok? Love you!

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Peggy Now is not the time to treat this anyway but very serious. I would use the words urgent and emergency. We just take more sometimes for things that hit us. Stronger and more antibiotics sometimes backed up by a few days of prednisone or other things. I know its common to talk in negative terms about hospitals but if thats where we need to be to get over something and to be safe then they're a good place to be. The main issue here is simply stopping whatever is hitting you so hard and getting you back where you should be. I want you well and back hugging so do take care. > > Peggy, > Well you know what I think.
