You can add Michigan to that (the chronic dry cough/low fever thing). Doctor
guessed at *perhaps* a type of mycoplasma. I've had it for well over a
month, and after two weeks on levaquin it seems to be subsiding, finally. It
also creates killer fatigue.
I'd be interested in any solid info on this thing so I can pass it along to
my doctor.
