    What are you allergic to?

    I am severely allergic to dust. I know I can't be the only one. I cough up mucus like all hell while I'm in my carpeted room, but once I'm at work for about an hour, I'm good. Early next week I have an appointment to get my carpet removed and replaced with laminate flooring; I hope it makes me...

    Side effects from Cipro

    I had some kind of reaction to Levaquin also, it was so long ago that I can't remember what it was. So far, Bactrim is the tried and true antibiotic for me.

    Side effects from Cipro

    Well, knock on wood, but Cipro hasn't affected my joints. I drink Joint Juice with glucosamine every day though. A couple days ago I noticed I had a real stiff neck, and my left side hurt. I didn't think anything of it, I thought I just slept on the wrong side or something. But last night my...

    Side effects from Cipro

    I have 8 pills left, and so far, so good; only a few rashes, but they will go away almost immediately after I stop. If it cured my lung problem, and I think it did, I'd say it was worth it. Well I've upped my dose to 2 Culturelle a day and it has kept the burning away, for the most part. But I...

    Cf and kidney stones

    On the healthy eating thing: My genes have been plotting to kill me since birth, I don't think eating a few pieces of lettuce will change that. I eat basically anything I want. The way I see it is everyone will be worm food at some point; some sooner then others. Why use your time on this earth...

    Cf and kidney stones

    I gave up on eating healthy awhile ago; I eat anything I feel like, that usually means junk food all the time. My genes have been plotting to kill me since birth, so I don't think eating a few pieces of lettuce will change my genes at all. But on kidney stones, I've been wondering if it has...

    Side effects from Cipro

    The doc prescribed some sort of topical cream. Clotrimazol or sumptin' I think. Anyway, the rashes seem not to be as severe as they usually are when I'm on Cipro.

    Side effects from Cipro

    Well my doctor seems perfectly fine with the fact that I can't take Cipro. Is there any other anti-biotic that works as good as Cipro? I have the same problem when I am on IVs also, the same burning and rash happens, just alot sooner on IVs.

    Joints

    I had an MRI of my hips, and the findings were that I had excessive cartilage loss. The ortho told me usually people in my shoes take pain meds/and or injections to ease the pain until it gets to bone on bone. But he said since I'm diabetic that those are not viable options. The only remedy for...

    Side effects from Cipro

    Thanks. But I wouldn't say I "tolerate" it. I just feel so bad that I'm willing to endure the side effects; I'm willing to put up with 1 evil, so I can eradicate an even greater evil in my body. If these rashes get any worse, I might have to stop the Cipro, and finish off with bactrim. Last...

    Side effects from Cipro

    Cipro is pretty strong, and I feel that I need sumtin' strong now as I feel pretty bad. But it seems that the only antibiotic I can tolerate is bactrim. I'm on day 3 of Cipro and I have a burning feeling in my hand, and a deep rash. Usually when I am on Cipro, right when I take the first pill, I...

    Never had a tune up

    Well I haven't been on any IV antibiotics since 2008. But right now I feel pretty lousy, so I'm on Cipro, hoping that fixes everything. My FEV1 is usually around 75%, 76 or so.

    Horrible Arthritis

    You know, my hips were bothering me so much that there was nothing I wouldn't do to at least feel comfortable. It's a terrible feeling when you are betrayed by your own body. I couldn't do the things I was so used to doing. I searched far and wide, and ordered a pill from the internet. It was...

    What do you do with your life?

    Well I dedicated my entire existence to taking care of myself. Nobody knows my body like I do, as such, nobody could possibly take care of me as good as I do. But for over 11 years I've been working at a crappy job doing crappy work. I keep thinking back to what could have been. 1 single mistake...
