JS's Story
After very high fevers and an ear infection as
the result of an MMR vaccine that I needed for grad school, the doc
prescribed Levaquin. After taking it for 5 days, I have a constant chemically-metallic taste in my mouth at all time. I have been having heart palpitations for the past two days, something I have never in my life experienced before. Finding this site explains a lot, including the weird sensations I keep having in my hands and what feels like two pulled Achilles tendons in my legs. Coincidence? I think not. |
