Biaxin myeloma
Common Questions and Answers about Biaxin myeloma
biaxin
I think u must go in for bone scanning techniques of ur lumbae and sacral area as these will reveal any myeloma or disc herniation as disc herniation causes pain radiating to leg.
best wishes.
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?
Every other test was in the normal ranges, this included c-reactive protein, ana, ESR...... My calcium was 9.6. The doctor has now tested me for multiple myeloma by doing a spep. I am scared, I am only 31years old. Has anyone been diagnosed with myeloma, and what where your total blood protein levels?
I am really scared I have Multiple Myeloma. Should I ask for more tests? If so which one would totally rule out Multiple Myeloma, I know a bone biopsy but I don't think my Dr. will order that now is there anyother test to rule it out?
On a blood test my IgA level was 25 (normal being from 0-25). Does anyone know if this is high enough to be multiple myeloma (I know that IgA can be for other things too, but I am concerned about multiple myeloma as I have been having other symptoms as well). Please clarify..
Thank you!
- HIV at 7 weeks, 15 weeks and 9 months
- STD test for Clymidia and gonnerea at about 8 months after (this was a urine test) I was concerned cause I peed about 1 hour before testing
Since these exposure I have been on Biaxin for 10 days at 500mg twice a day, Amoxicillian 500mg 3 times a day ( I have been on this twice as I have a saliva gland issue for a number of years. I was also on Cipro 500 twice a day (I think) for a sinus infection.
All test were negative.
My doc perscribed Biaxin xl 2x 500 and prednisone 50mg 4 days if needed. Last night I was so bad I took the pred at 8pm. This morning I took the biaxin at 6am.
It's been about 8 hours and my heart has sped up from about 70 to 85-90 for about an hour and won't come down.
I'm afraid to take my next dose of prednisone but I've been on short bursts before with no issue.
Is a resting heart rate around 90 something to be worried about?
I started out with smoldering Myeloma. I did lots of research and found Huntsman Cancer Institute, Salt Lake City, UT has a Myloma Clinic. Dr. Tricot (tree-co) is from Belgum and is wonderful. He specializes in Myeloma. He started me on Pamidronate infusions to prevent bone loss. My IgG is in the 3300 mg range and the bone marrow was at 13% Myeloma cells and the Kappa/Lambda freelight chains were high (can't remember at this time how high). The total proteins were at 9.
ve been taking the medicine for at least 10 or 11 days at 1000 milgrams of each both biaxin and flagyl daily..and should have stop taking them along time ago ..is this common?
I am almost 5 years out from my diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma. Have been in a watchful waiting stage for 6 months as my m-protein (cancer marker) has showed up and continues to slowly rise. I'm now in clear relapse pattern. Treatment will likely be induction chemo with multiple drugs, then a second stem cell transplant but we hope to delay starting treatment as long as possible since for the most part I feel fine, no myeloma issues.
He gave me a prescription for biaxin, 2x a day for ten days. After doing some digging, I learned about oral gonorrhea. Could this possibly be what I have? And if so can it be cured by biaxin (antibiotic)?
I am a man. Next day, having been prescribed Biaxin for bronchitis, I took four 500 mg pills at once. I know this was foolish, but I had panicked.
5 days later I developed an infected ingrown hair at the base of my penis. I am over forty, and I believe I know an ingrown hair when I see one - when I take Biaxin I get them all over my legs.
Next day, the bump had not opened up into an ulcer. I saw a hair growing out of the middle of it, and squeezed the bump.
What is the latest treatment for multiple myeloma? I had a stem cell transplant 13 years ago and am among the longest survivers. MM is not curable, only treatable. I was in a clinical trial, but now am too old for another stem cell transplant. The cancer is not active now, but I have that fear everytime I go in for my 6 month checkup.
My male tabby cat is nearly 15 years old and diagnosed as most likely having multiple myeloma. He appears to be healthy with a good appetite and such. My vet has recommended doing a bone marrow test - how painful will this be for my cat and if this provides a baseline then how often would a vet do another similar test? I don't want to do tests if it doesn't help with his medical protocol.
May I also ask what length of time would I take the Biaxin? And is there any home treatment, Like garlic pills etc. that would help augment healing? ( since Biaxin is not considered the best treatment.) Although I'm stuck with that. And frankly, I was on the Clindamycin for weeks and that didn't get rid of the infection, so maybe a broad spectrum antibiotic will work for me. I sure hope so. thank you again for your advice.
