Can anyone help me? I have been so sick, mostly with bad headaches and severe neck pain etc.
My doctor had me send some sputum to the lab and it came back heavy for Serratia Marcescens. I was then put on Levofloxacin (spelling) for five days. I was hopeful because I finally felt better after the first day or two....but I am now done with the antibiotics but the pain and bad sputum is back. I have been sick for months and am starting to feel depressed and scared.

Same here. Will add thoughts tomorrow. Hurts too bad tonight. Add 8 years of bilateral throbbing ear aches.

Hello Jenn -
Have you called the doctor back? Some well-established infections don't respond to the first round of antibiotic therapy, and require a second. Or maybe a different drug.
