I had a follow up appointment two days ago. Yesterday I began antibiotics intravenously. In a way it was my own doing. I told Dr. K that my body could handle more. And it can, I can. The side effects from the Levaquin were minimal at first and then tapered off. I mean, I have felt worse for longer periods of time. Time to bring out the bigger guns.
Yesterday I received my first dose. Let me state that I am well aware that staying out past 3 am was probably not my smartest move and did have an effect. However, I still ended up with a fever and slept the day away for the most part. I am on the baby dose for another week, going twice a week while continuing oral antibiotics, and then increasing the dose. I am finishing up the Levaquin and moving on to Doxycycline. On the plus side I should have great skin and no worries about syphilis!
I am frustrated by the no work out rule. I finally found a Bikram studio with in a reasonable distance and now I am not able to take advantage of it. The good news is that with the discovery of the food allergies, I have managed to drop over 5 lbs without any effort. If you can call avoiding any food that has yeast or eggs or gluten in it effortless. The only time I find myself cringing with desire is when I am dealing with PMS and all I can think about is a greasy pepperoni pizza (oh how I have missed you).
