oh gosh- I'm away from home for a week. Ended up in the ER with horrible abdominal pain. Turned out to be diverticulitis.
They put me on Levoquin and Flagyl. I had to stop the Biaxin and Plaquenil I've been taking.

Is Levoquin and Flagyl used for lyme? I have to call my LLMD in the morning to discuss.

Teh only bright side is the Vicodin that actually does help the pain.

My husband made great progress with Flagyl. I think it helps Lyme and Babesia. I believe Levaquin is sometimes used for Bart?

I hope you feel better soon.

Caution. Levaquin can be brutal on tendons.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm only supposed to take it for 10 days.
