Most likely possibility here could be metronidazole or due to low level of vitamin B related to neuropathy (nerve pain like numbness and tingling at affected areas). Vitamin B-complex rich diet may help in reducing neuropathy symptoms. This may lead to muscle weakness and coordination also. If you suffer continuous weakness and notice reduced strength of muscle bulk in your limbs, please arrange an appointment with a neurologist right away who may evaluate the possibilities first.
I also was prescribed Flagyl , and on the 3rd day noticed sharp pains , and today after my dose I noticed numb and tingling feeling in my right arm .. Im supposed to take a dose right now , but don't think I will as I see this antibiotic is causing long term problems even after taking the drug !
I think this drug should be taken off the market ! (but then again this only happens to 1% of people taking it ..)
Best of luck to you !
The pain usually occurs over a few days, and lessens, and then a few weeks later, hits again with a higher threshold, and longer period of remission.
She has had an MRI, an EMG test, and her blood tests are normal. MS has been ruled out, as well as other demyleating (?sp) diseases. Her family history has diabetis, and yet the blood tests show no problems. The only thing that has showed up once was high on uric acid.
I know there are more than 100 causes. We want to find the reason.
They put me on metronidazole at 500 mg twice a day for a week. And since then I have been having neuropathy problems of migrating tingling, burning, twitches, crawling random parts on my body. Since March. I had a Antigen & antibody duo test done at 3 weeks, 60, and 75 days past the unprotected sex with my ex. And a rapid test done at 81 days. They all came back negative. However, I am waiting for the NAT test to come back. What’s the possibility of it coming back positive ?
Hello dear,
Tindamax may cause seizures and peripheral neuropathy (numbness and tingling in the hands and feet). Stop taking Tindamax and see your doctor right away if you have these symptoms
Refer http://www.fda.gov/Cder/consumerinfo/druginfo/tindamax.
Toxins can lead to this condition. Several toxins, including alcohol, arsenic and metronidazole (an antibiotic) preferentially affect small fibers.
The other known causes of small-fiber neuropathy include diabetes mellitus or glucose intolerance, amyloidosis, toxins, inherited sensory and autonomic neuropathies, Sjogren’s syndrome, lupus, sarcoid, nutritional deficiencies, celiac disease, hereditary conditions including Fabry disease and Guillain-Barre syndrome.
Hi I could not find the related post, but also had neuropathy, pins and needles, gastric symptoms, balance problems and so forth after use of Flagyl (for 7 days). Wrote about it a year ago in Neuro doctor's forum. In my case it seems something else reacted with the Flagyl (viral toxin, bacterial toxin, Ciguatera... this is what doctors have said so far) and made everything much worse. One allergy specialist said Flagyl alone could have easily caused the symptoms.
I visited ER when palpitations were bad and my BP was 167/90. They did an EKG and X-ray and my heart was fine and that it was palpitations. Drew blood - elevated bilirubin count. I have higher than norm bilirubin since birth though. I think the ER missed the bacteria because I was being blindly treated with antibiotics (Cipro & metrnzdle) at the time for this persistant stomach infection.
I visited the doctor Monday with a vaginal infection and was given Metronidazole to start taking. I went back for results Wednesday and I was confirmed to have BV. My doctor then gave me Erythromycin to take (2, twice a day)... as well as the Metronidazole (3, three times a day). This seems like an awful lot of antibiotics. Why was I given Erythromycin, when from as far as I can tell, Metronidazole alone is the recommended treatment for BV?
Hope someone can shed some light on this.
Thanks!
to sleep), tightness in calf muscles when I stretch, limited range of motion in my shoulders, and the worst one of all.......muscle and bone aches and pains in my legs and arms. Sometimes my arms feel like dead weights after I blow dry my hair (can't believe I am complaining about a hair issue :), and it is difficult to climb stairs with any type of agility. My question is three-fold I guess.
Actually both Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole can both cause peripheral neuropathy as a side effect of the drug. This can be temporary if you get off the drug right away or permanent. They can also cause tendon rupture and so forth. So that may be the reason why you felt the nerve problems. The diarrhea
could also have been a side effect of the medication or it could have been from the Clostridium difficile toxin.
at first i didnt bother it but after my medication in soar throat and allergy(urcatitaria), my vagina started to became itchy and again, everyday i started having green discharged for `1 week. i went to a gynecologist and she prescribed me a metronidazole miconazole vaginal suppository and ive used that for `1 week.. now what my problem is, my white discharge had stop.. i am also currently taking up medice for my UTI and had experiexed sex but that was like long time ago...
Metronidazole can cause diarrhea as a side effect. But it may be also working on the infective cause of your dog's illness in the first place, so don't stop it without speaking to your vet.
Meanwhile keep your dog hydrated. If you can find an unflavoured electrolyte drink like Pedialyte that would be great. Plain water would do for a short time but Pedialyte would be better.
I was prescribed it last week for a bacterial infection. Took it 4 times and my face started to break out in a rash. Called the pharmacist and then the doctor. Both said i was having an allergic reaction to the medicine. Both said to stop taking it. I go to the doctor next week to ddiscuss other options. So just watch out for that.....
My heart beat is erratic most of the time anyway but when I tried taking flagyl for campylobacter, it didn't affect my heart at all. I just got extremely sick and intestinal issues worsened. They had to switch me.
For the past ten days I have been taking Metronidazole (Two 250mg oral tablets, twice daily).
I took my last pills lastnight around 10:30 pm.
My question is, would it be okay for me to consume alcohol on Saturday night?
I know my pharmacist told me to absolutely stay away from alcohol while I was taking the pills because I would vomit alot, and he said most people wait a couple of days after they've finished before they drink. Im just wondering if two days is enough time?
I went to the obgyn last week they ran urine samples and std tests and everything was okay, I told them I’m spotting still for two weeks now three and cramping the test came back for BV so they prescribed me Metronidazole I felt way too anxious about taking it , Friday I went in for a ultrasound and pelvic ultrasound I believe and got the results today that it was fine. They now prescribed me clindamycin gel which I will pick up tomorrow due to pharmacy out of stock.
