I had suffered fever for 13days and was only diagnosed with Viral Menigitis on the 15days after a lumbar tap. I was given an IVof NS and acyclovir(prophylaxis accdg to my doctor) for 3 days every 8 hours. My fever subsided and totally gone, and headache started. Tylenol ES was not effective with this headache and I was prescribed with Hydromorph 3mgSR every 12 hours and then 1 mg breakthrough every 6hours. It helps me for a week.
put him on Amoxycillin due to a possible sinus infection. He also had bloodwork done and his T4 and TSH came at borderline. He responded to the Amox. for a few days and the headaches returned. This time they put him on Augmentin for "persistent" sinus infection. He finished his dosage with no improvement. He was put on Augmentin again and also started having redness and infection in his left eye.
Both need to be treated for it, and should be examined and tested for all common STD. It is crucial for their health, not to mention yours (if you have sex again with either partner) and their other sex partners.
Your urologist may be on top of STD issue, but many urologists are not; and from your description, there are some gaps in your urologist's knowledge on STDs.
hi, i have been having mild symptoms which suggest some sort of meningitis in my opinion.
basically it started two years ago with spasms in the tummy. and then spasms in my limbs, back as well as eyelids (twitching).
from then on in the months to come, the above symptoms come and go, each time new symptoms accompany it.
i experienced dull headaches at the back of the head. tingling sensation at the same area as well as down my spine.
I've had a runny nose and cough for two months, along with a sore throat off and on (more on than off).
No congestion. No sinus pain. No ear problems. Continuous symptoms, not a day in two months without.
It started with a bad cold I had caught, and these particular symptoms never went away.
Spring/summer is in full swing now, and my first guess would be that it's allergies, but I've never had this problem before. Itchy eyes and throat, yes, but not this.
sen him home with cipro, steroids, naproxen, and flonase. Was told if he is no better in 3 days to go to the ER. Not better on 3rd day, he went to the ER, Doctor told him there was nothing wrong with the ears or sinuses and sent him home with no answers. The same night he was in so much pain from his ears and head I took him to a different ER. The doctor states the same thing, nothing wrong, but hear it is a different antibiotic and darvasets? by this time we are both very frustrated.
Thank you for responding to my question. It has been 12 days since I had root canal on #14. Took Cipro for 7 days. I'm still feeling lpain/discomfort on #14 and try not to chew on that side of mouth. How long does it for root canal to heal? Can and do root canal fail? What are symptoms of failed root canal. At the time of root canal Endodonist put temporary filled on crown. I have appoint with regular dentist for permanent filling in a week.
That liquid like ball is edema and depending on how large it is and that it is on the throat, a drain my be necessary. As for the Cipro....there are some very serious risk factors. If your pet has any of the MANY risk factors, giving Cipro can be deadly to your dog. If your pet is under 2 years old (assuming by the weight he is a medium or large breed)....do NOT under any circumstance give Cipro.
Please please take your dog to the vet so he is properly treated in a safe and humane way.
Anyway, several months later I am in the hospital for meningitis after having a bad fever, headache, and stiff neck for two days. The CSF tests came back a few days later while I am still in the ICU, and the doctor said that it was herpes.
I am very skeptical of this. First of all, they were trying to push me into agreeing that it was influenza instead of meningitis, and only after the LP did they stop pushing that on me.
I recently went back to the doctor's office for a IgG test because I was told by a former partner that he may have HSV2 last year. I never had an official breakout but shortly after I started getting leg pain and sacral pain and the following month after coming back from vacation I got viral meningitis. I researched and found that nerve pain is associated with Herpes and that viral meningitis is also.
I am confident in both these procedures and plan to follow these recommendations, to hopefully kill off the virus and inflammation for once and for all. The vitamin/mineral IV successfully cleared up an intractable case of pneumonia for me that had not responded to three increasingly strong rounds of antibiotics. So I'm describing all this here for those who have not gotten rid of their viral meningitis after a few months and are still suffering.
Any body can ans what kind of side effects that has cipro to use for long time......
Saw my doctor because terrible irritation in penis tip, sore testicles and having to urinate all night. No burning when I pee or discharge but significant pain at tip. Doctor did first catch urine test; neg for leuk & nitrates, said it could be prostatis so he gave me 7 days of Cipro. Had a minor surgery a few days later so did not take it. The next week it got even worse, so went to urologist. Same symptoms but worse. Dr. asked if it could be std, I told him I doubt it...
is it safe to take 125 mg of cipro each day for 6 months I was prescribed this for a UTI that keeps coming back. Also the pharmacy that filled the prescription gave me 250mg tablets and told me they aren't made in 125mg. and for me to break in half . But the info that comes with the meds says not to break.crush, or chew.
Hi,
I have problems with UTI and kidney infections on a regular basis. I have been on Cipro on and off since 1994. Cipro has allways worked very well for me. I have not experienced side effects from this drug. I have had other antibiotics prescribed to me that did have some negative side effects. In my case Sulfa drugs causes hives.
From 1994 up to 2003, I used to come down with UTI and kidney infections that required hospitalizations with a frequency of about every 3 to 4 months.
