Hi,
I am 42 years old and have been having
prostate problems for 4 years. I have a
huge fear of medication being afraind of
reactions and or side effects. I can't get
a Doctor to help me at all and I fear they
just think I am being paranoid. I have
been prescribed Leviquin even though Cipro
makes my joints ach really bad. This drug
is in the same family and much more
powerful. I don't want to get sicker but I
just can't take the med. Does anybody have
any suggestions and is anybody else out
there like me or am I just going crazy ?

I know with some of the medications out
there, there is good reason to fear. I
know I was not always on board to take my
medications over the years. But now I know
that I need them, and I am fine at this
time taking the meds.
The recent problem I encountered with
current med, is if I miss a dose, I can't
sleep until I take the missed dose. I
bothers me, but I can't get back off of
the med cause I want to sleep - if I don't
get enough sleep I suffer sleep paralysis
and that scares the hell out of me.
Good luck, if you can't get your current
doctor to help maybe you can see another
doctor.
