I went to a eye doc, he gave me two eye drops. One carboxy methyl cellulose sodium 1% for dryness of my eye and another Gatifloxacin & ketorolac tromethamine eye drop for treatment. The doc told me something entered inside my eye.
Since prednisolone is a steroid it can cause an increased susceptibility to infections so it may be paired with an antibiotic such as ciprofloxacin or gatifloxacin. As with all medicines it is important to seek the advice of your physician about its safety.
The reactivity of 13 quinolones (levofloxacin, ofloxacin, pefloxacin, enoxacin, moxifloxacin, gatifloxacin, trovafloxacin, sparfloxacin, lomefloxacin, ciprofloxacin, clinafloxacin, norfloxacin, and nalidixic acid) was tested in 5 commercial opiate screening assays from September 1998 to March 1999. In 6 healthy volunteers, we confirmed the cross-reactivity of levofloxacin or ofloxacin with these opiate screening assays.
Then 3 months later ,I got some itchy eye(again right eye), and i again went to eye doctor and was given antibiotic gatifloxacin ( if i correctly remember the name) and tear naturals which I used for 2months but still used to have itchy eyes
Then again in Feb I went to an eye hospital(as i used to have itchy eye-right) and they checked everything and told me everything is ok,its just dry eyes.
s hard to miss the vein unless they are very bad at it. Drink a lot of water so your veins swell and are easy to feel. Usually they put iv in the crook of my arm, like a blood test, because I have a very good vein there. They don't hurt me anymore unless the person is inexperienced and ends up digging around in my arm with the needle to find the vein.
When the breathing spazaming was under
Control i could no longer walk days later and a one iv steriod drio down 2 to go i have my fingers crossed for miracles.
Anyone had iv steriods?
How have you noticed its helped?.
I had an IV inserted for contrast dye for an MRI. Now the area is a lump, swollen,red , and itchy. Any ideas what to do?
I had a baby more than 2 months ago, when I was in the hospital the nurse was trying to put an IV on my left wrist but then after 3 unsuccessful painful try, it end up on my right wrist. a day after I went home, i started to have this very painful on my left wrist with a bluish bruises and the bruises was gone but the pain still there, even just to lift a glass or move it or anything is sooo painful.
I had a contrast IV for a Chest CT. It infiltrated, causing pain and swelling. I need a follow-up scan (a 6-month check). What are the chances this will happen again. I have tiny veins and am nervous.
I have been told I am going to get started on a 3 day course of IV steroids. I would like to ask those of you that have had this what they felt like during and after they had it? Did anyone have any adverse side effects? Did you feel they helped reduce the flare up?
I've been using heroin and cocaine together through IV for the last year every day and recently i've been experiencing extreme pain after doing a shot the same size i've done in the past, it feels like i may be having mini heart attacks, but sometimes i can relieve the pain by burping.. after the pain dies down, i feel a burning sensation for a while after, and feel as if i cannot move my arm too much or it will cause a sharp pain in my heart.
i had a stress test the end of may. they put an iv in my arm where it bends. it has never healed the injection site. it is about the size of a dime. does not hurt at all, but am concerned about it.
So, yes you can get a sore arm from an IV but most of the time it is from trauma to the area or a badly inserted IV etc. You can get an infection at an IV site but they do use Betadine Iodine and other antiseptics to clean the area well. Usually, the infection comes from an IV or catheter tip left in for several days or longer. A well known source of infection is by Staphylococcus epidermidis (usually) but there are other organisms that can infect a catheter site.
I have to do 6 months of iv steroids. 3 days every month with NO taper! I have just finished my second round...and I'm ready to through in the towel. The side affects of the steroids are at this point almost not worth doing. They are trying to prevent a relapse since I am not on any MS therapy. Anyone else going through anything similar? I can't handle the fatigue, shakes, fever, redness, pain, nightsweats, constipation, irritability, overall feeling of crap!
