Avatar f tn So, is there an antibiotic that would treat both mychoplasma AND sinusitis incase I have one or both?
5034249 tn?1367101116 I was directed to continue taking the doxycycline and after I took the first pill, I began to get a severe headache and nausea. The headache became so severe I went to the ED. They performed a CT Scan which was normal and a Lumbar Puncture Opening Pressure 22. After the LP, the head pressure resolved for 3 weeks. The head pressure returned and Ive had normal MRI/MRV/MRA/CT Sinus scans. I had 3 more lumbar punctures with no relief. The second OP was 18, third OP was 24.
10743854 tn?1412616386 I had a bout of sinusitis on the left side recently. It responded quickly to doxycycline but it has left a big patch of my face numb (from my cheekbone across to the entire left half of my nose, left half of my upper lip and left upper teeth.) I have had this now since 2 Sept so that's 33 days. The muscles are fine and there is no heat or redness. I'm just wondering if other people have experienced this as long or longer. How long before I should get worried?
Avatar n tn i started this doxycycline hyclate drug on june 19. and there is improvement 1st day itself. there was relatively lesser discharge today. also, i didnt feel any block in my ear whole day which i used to feel before.
Avatar f tn I then started to feel tingly/trembly and shakey in my back muscles and. The shortness of breath subsided in June and my pulse started racing. I haven't been put on beta blockers because I use a preventer inhaler (Qvar). I've seen a cardiologist who did a 24 hour ecg tape and said I had sinus tachycardia on minimal exercise but was told my heart is perfectly healthy and that the cause is elsewhere. When lying down my pulse is about 85, but as soon as I stand up it jumps to 120.
Avatar f tn I have a 8 year history of chronic sinusitis in my right maxillary sinus and about 10 sinus infections a year, half of them requiring antibiotics. I have never had a sinus infection this complicated. I am weak, started with sore throat and lots of mucus, and now I just have terrible facial pain that seems to be moving over the days from my right eye to the middle of my forehead.
Avatar m tn Over the weekend it seems that it has gotten worse - I have had slightly more pressure than normal, and my mucus has gone greener and it stinks. It has changed colour on and off, but I haven't had the odour problem in a while, which seems to indicate to me that the antibiotics are not helping or that I'm getting worse and not better.
Avatar f tn so I was diagnosed with sinusitis on Thursday and was given Doxycycline monohydrate by my doctor. Monday morning I woke up with a low grade fever of 100.1 and a sore throat. Of course with all this virus hysteria I am fearing the worst. I have no other symptoms because nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, fluid in ears and of course the sore throat. Body temp has been between 98 and 99 degrees. any advice? Thank you!
Avatar f tn I have been taking prednisolone on off for years for sinusitis/allergies and have read some people have started taking methotrexate for Rheumatoid Arthritis. Does anyone know if this would also work for chronic sinusitis conditions?
711841 tn?1252143135 I am on Doxycycline due to my chronic tonsillitis and sinusitis. I am HLA-B27 positive and have pains in joints and muscles (reactive arthritis?). A throat sample has not been taken. I think that I could have Mycoplasma. I have had many different symptoms during several years.
Avatar n tn The first one is going into eyes (bellow eyes) and second into maxillary sinusitis. It is very painful. I had to find out the cause for my sinusitis with steady eyes and jaw pains. It was long time to come to atypical trigeminal neuralgia. Now I have to find out how to threat this neuralgia? If you want I can send you drawings of the two branches! I have terrible pressure from the top of the head into eyes holes and thought always there is only sinusitis.
Avatar f tn I am always on antibiotics and currently just got on 21 days of doxycycline. I was just on doxycycline for 10 days a month ago. My doc says I have a nasal polyp and I have ENT appt June 1st. I take advair, abruetoral when asthma may flare, singulair, and rhinocort or flonase when I can get samples. I normally cant afford the advair or singulair with out samples from doc. Anyway, I am tired of feeling drugged and sick.
Avatar n tn 7, since the past 21 days.I also have very mild body aches and my neck glands are a little swollen.The fever comes every 6-7 hours, taking Advil for it. I'm taking antibiotics, the doctor has done alot of tests but nothing has turned out yet. doctor said that it could be prostatitis so i'm taking doxycycline , though I have mild pain in prostate but do not have any other symptom... the fatigue and weakness has made me miserable???

4939681 tn?1361299299 I remember reading that Lyme and sinusitis go hand in glove according to "Lyme" rules----- Lyme can present as almost anything. a LOT of people on other forums complain about that. But just because we have Lyme doesn't mean that we can't get 'ordinary' woes. Are you blowing green gunk out your nose? An ENT I saw when I complained about a possible sinus infection asked that question. Perhaps that means something.
Avatar m tn i have this some sort of colds for about 2 months now and now sometimes i feel weak and fatigue, i have this cold mucus that doesnt come out and i feel sometimes stumbling or out of balance, and some dizziness and nausea.. is this sinusitis infection or ear infection.i have no fever...
Avatar n tn I still get the mucus to teh back of my throat and occasional earache and headache but not all teh time. I get yellow mucus from right nostril only. I have bad breath too. I will go back to my dr. in 2 weeks if this doesn't work.
Avatar m tn Please give me the correct advise so that the sinusitis problem is permanently cured and i can begin eating dairy products and other things i can't eat due to sinusitis. Thanks.
Avatar f tn I have had sinusitis for one month (out of work) and have been on antibiotics, netipot, steroid spray from ENT which did not help at all.. . Last week, through a throat culture from my G.P., I came up positive for strep. I am currently taking sulfamthoxazole-tmp (am allergic to penicillan) for ten days and seem to be doing better.
Avatar n tn Can sinusitis cause vision focus and vision being blurry? One eye is very senstive to light. Does drinking vinegar in water help fight infection. I have been on zertec d and antibotic.
Avatar m tn I had decided to go for tests, as I have a regular partner. However, as a recurring sinusitis flared up again, I was put on doxycycline 5 days after this event. After having taken doxy for six days (7 day cure, 2x100mgx7), I started having sex with my regular partner again, assuming that the doxy would make tests irrelevant. I know that chlamydia is almost never transferred by oral, and that doxy takes care of this.
Avatar n tn Well, sinusitis is an infection of the sinuses and any infection can make you feel like you have no energy (lazy), so I would say yes, it definitely could, especially if you're running a fever with it. Get plenty of rest, drink plenty of fluids (will help keep the sinus congestion thinner andeasier to blow out) and use whatever meds your doc has prescribed.
