I have been sick for 1 month now. I had the flu that turned into bronchitis. I was on a zpack. And when I was done taking them and for several days later, there was no sign of really getting better. I don t have any insurance and am broke from being off work so long. Anyways my mom and dad ended up in the hospital and both with the flu, my dad with pneumonia also and my mom with bronchitis as well. She was on a rx that the doctor had told her was for people with pneumonia and they were big guns . She took them for seven days with no sign of getting better. The hospital took her off them and when she came home she to,d me to start taking her meds...I did for no other reason than I was so sick and couldn t afford meds. There are only 5 pills in a box and she has like 8 boxes. I told her on the back of each pill it says to take 1 every week. I to,d her that and she said no...take one everyday. So I have been. It is not an antibiotic like we thought at all. Three days ago was the first day I have felt human but by the evening time, I could not touch my legs from the knee down. There were these red blotches (like when you take a hot shower) all over my lower leg and they felt like the most horrid bruises ever. I have been running a fever since then as well and have a sore throat and a killer headache that feels like my head is being crushed. I feel good during the days but come the night everything comes back. Except the legs...they never stop hurting...tonight we looked at the side effects and it turns out it is fosomax....or actually what ever drug it is that starts with a A but is it s equal. I also take 880 mg of aleve every night because of major arthritis pain...I also have asthma and use an inhaler. It says do not lay down after taking it, I always do....and don t take with aleve...I always do....my lungs also hurt really bad like when you run in the cold....I am worried and don t know what to do.
