biaxin

1464587 tn?1307491605 I also have intense pressure in my head..... intercranial pressure I guess its considered? and dizziness and intense muscle pain and tightness...... so bad in fact the pain is soooooo intense from the muscles being contracted that I cant even breath or move, even with muscle relaxers and muscle rub....... I was feeling much better on the generic Biaxin but yet again dont know if it was doing any good and maybe just letting the pathogen roam free???
Avatar m tn I was taking Biaxin 500mg twice a day for a week and then took the rpr two days later. could this affect the results in any way?
Avatar m tn If I was infected with any of the above, would an 8 day course of Biaxin resolved these? And yes it was 8 days and not the usual 10 for whatever reason. 2. I've read on this site that most of these STD's resolve themselves within a few months even without treatment, but other medical and government websites specifically say the exact opposite and say only way to get rid of infection is to seek treatment. Which is it?
Avatar f tn Last week I was diagnosed with a duodenal ulcer and am taking Amoxicillin, Biaxin and Prevacid. I am one week into treatment and feel only marginally better. My question is about stomach tenderness. Is a tender stomach normal with a peptic ulcer? My entire stomach area, from just below my breasts, down to my navel, is very tender to the touch. When touched it produces like a burning/stinging/bruised feeling. Depending on the day, or time of the day, the pain is greater or less.
1094370 tn?1317134825 Saw my LLMD in San Francisco on Friday and he said that my Erlichoisis is cleared but wants me to stay on my meds (Ketek & Cipro) for another 30 days. My testing for lyme is still coming up positive and there were more positive bands and stronger ones than my last test three months ago. He said that the meds I'm currently are on do not treat lyme. After this course of meds, I am switching to Amox & Biaxin to begin treating the lyme. My CD57 shot up from like 20 to 87 though!
Avatar m tn Lately i have been noticing my leg and foot starts to tingle alot, i also have muscle aches in both my legs. I am worried that i could have symptoms of MS starting. I am female almost 30 and i have convinced myself i have MS, i have a doctors appt in a few weeks to talk to him about it. Today i did not have an easy time going to the bathroom and i had the tingling foot thing a few days ago. Could MS symptoms appear like that?
4939681 tn?1361299299 My LLMD never called me back, so I made the executive decision to stop the Biaxin and start back on the doxy and azith. It was only 1.5 days so I'm thinking no harm no foul. I don't think that odd taste was acid reflux related. I think it was my body telling me it could just not tolerate the med. Some things, like knowing you have Lyme, your body makes pretty obvious. Body to self: "This NOT a herx! I HATE whatever you just put in me! PLEASE STOP NOW!
Avatar f tn My understanding of Lyme induced incontinence is that Lyme interferes with the nerve signals between the bladder, or the muscles that control it, and the brain. Given your lower back pain and muscle wasting, it sounds like it is all related. I hope the urologist can help. The fact that you're negative for HLA B27 is a good sign. It is better to have a treatable infection than an incurable degenerative disease. You might also try some supplements to help you feel better.
Avatar n tn I had 2 women perform oral sex on me and about 2-3 months later I had a chest cold and my doctor gave me biaxin 2x500mg a day for 10 days. then a few months later had amoxicillian 3x500mg a day for 10 days for another unrelated infection (my docs loves to give antibiotics) If I did get a std like gonnerea or clymidia or anything else that is bacterial would the biaxin get rid of it?...keep in mind I have had no unprotested sexual intercourse just received oral from a women.
723952 tn?1231857532 they are cyst-busters. I was on biaxin for that purpose (along with another med to kill the bugs after they came out of the cyst), but had a reaction to it after several months; so the dr switched me to flagyl and a different antibiotic. It's a fair question why the dr would give you two cyst busters. Sounds like a lot. Good luck with the new job!! Sounds like a good one.
Avatar m tn Oral gonorrhea is actually pharyngeal, i.e. the back of the throat. It is unlikely you would acquire it just by getting a little semen in the mouth, although I can't say it would be impossible. However, pharyngeal gonorrhea is usually (over 90% of cases) asymptomatic, with no pain or anything else. Here too there are exceptions, and once in a while it causes severe pharyngitis like yours. So the direct answer is yes, this could possibly be what you have. But it is very unlikely.
1181178 tn?1320783461 My youngest sister and father have joint and muscle pain, much less than mine. We all have Basilar migraines and dry skin as well. They do not have all of the same symtoms as me, but I'm wondering if there maybe a connection. ?? Its very interesting! I'm gonna have to save up to try at the lyme doctor again. I really did like her approach on the entire thing.
Avatar m tn I have a bunch of symptoms that im afraid may indicate something serious. blotchy rash on my neck, chest palms and groin; loss of sensation and discoloration of my penis; cold sweats; constipation and difficulty urinating w no pain involved. I've had a sinus infection and ear infection for sometime now but just started taking biaxin yesterday. Not much improvement..could I have some kidney or liver issues due to years of cocaine abuse?
Avatar f tn 6 months later I developed severe neurologic, MS-like symptoms , rashes, fevers, elevated liver enzymes, generalized twitching, visual problems, joint and muscle pain, paresthesias, limb weakness and more. I had a few months of oral treatment for possible lyme though tests results were negative. I recovered finally after about 5 years. I was nearly normal for about 7 years and it all hit again 4 years ago. Again I recovered somewhat from antibiotics, particulary doxy.
4939681 tn?1361299299 Usually, inflammation is a result of the immune system at work attacking something. There are some who believe that pain and fatigue from a die off (a Jarisch Herxheimer reaction) is far more common than previously believed. Some believe that autoimmune diseases have a root cause of a chronic, underyling infection combined with an immune system that isn't functioning properly.
Avatar f tn My LLMD is changing my antibiotic treatment to Omnicef and Biaxin for 3 more months. Mainly because he believes Flagyl was responsible for my hormone imbalance and I wasn't able to keep it down since I got the flu. Has anyone been treated with this combination? It's the first time I have hear about it, but I have taken these before for other infections and did just fine. I am hopeful since my CD57 has gone up from 23 to 56. However, my IgM results show more Lyme.
Avatar n tn Prinmary Dr put me on Biaxin due to blood work taken at hospital showing normal WBC count but slightly elevated neutrophils and more decreased lymphocytes. Started Biaxin yesterday; slight improvement, fever last night 100 instead of 101, but headache still gets very strong during the night, had to finally take ibuprofen again at 2am; rash is expanding to trunk. Anybody have any idea of what may be going on?
4939681 tn?1361299299 severe upper back pain that pulled through chest and made taking a good breath unbearable; currently: nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal pain. It's like the entire awfulness is very slowly moving south. Crazy, right?! Anywho, I thought I'd give you guys an update and give this alkaline diet a good shot. Wish me luck! Also, I am starting A-Bart this week and heard the herxing from it gets pretty awful, so I'll probably be needing some support through that as well:(.
Avatar f tn Not sure where the rest of post is. Day 2 - 500mg Clarithromycin & Amox 875mg that night. This morning took 500mg of both Clarithromycin & Amox, and Ceftiaxone 1gm IV. I am aware of CDC guidelines and think that this single dose of rocephin & a total of 5gm of Biaxin over 4-5 days (in place of Azithromycin) should be effective? How long should I wait to engage in intercourse with my significant other?
Avatar n tn Thanks for the answer...just one last point, the biaxin and amoxicilian were taken at different times around 2-3 months apart. Biaxin was for a Resp infection and the amoxicilian was for my saliva gland issue. These all have been taken throughtout the last year since exposure. Would Biaxin or amoxicial cure syphlis by themselves?. no more questions from me so I would like to thank you for your time!.
Avatar m tn I did the same thing after taking an antihistamine and got all upset and mine went up to 120. As soon as I forced myself to relax and quit checking it slowly went back to normal.
Avatar m tn Also should add, treated with Cipro 500mg for 10 days and Biaxin 500mg for 21 days for sinus infection, during the time frame of possible std infection....would this cause a delay or would it actually cure the std infection, if there was one to begin with?
