A member asked:
All labs normal. had pneumonia 9 wk ago. now muscles in arms and legs feel weak at times. from levaquin (levofloxacin)? what can i do? it's upsetting

Less likely: Fatigue and weakness after pneumonia is less likely from levaquin (levofloxacin) than from general deconditioning after a severe illness. Great stress was placed on the body and sometimes takes months to fully recover. Concentrate on getting great nutrition, hydration, rest, sunlight and try to exercise as tolerated.
