there's a silver lining shining above me

I'm sick. Again. This one is a doozy. My doc put me on solu-medrol and levaquin (again) but as I was reading the patient info, the levaquin said risk of tendon rupture is greater if on steroids. Great. I have not been able to swim all week, 1) because the baby has been sick too and I could not take her to the daycare there in good faith and 2) because on Wednesday night my airways about closed down and I spent the night wheezing and coughing (trying to cough anyway, it was the darndest thing. I would cough like the dickens but nothing would come up) and not sleeping. But I don't think I should swim while on the solu medrol because I already feel like levaquin and cipro do a number on my already arthritic feeling joints. Not swimming kind of sucks though. I mean, I hate doing it until I am done with it but then I feel so good that I did it. But I certainly don't need any tendon blow outs. Boo.

Looks like I also might try taking zithro 3x a week for a while and see how that works out. I wanted to take it with the levaquin but apprently there is some risk of heart problems if you mix the two??? I swear I know people who take zithro and cirpo, so who knows.

I have not had the steroid really kick on yet. I hvae only used solumedrol once before and I was a bit manic on the beginning. I am hoping to harness some of the energy to work on some sewing projects I have been procrastinating on.

I am really hoping my period will show up in the next few days too, just to ensure that this goes down as the greatest week of my life.
