sick after PICC

[sue35]

Ok so I finished my IVs a little over a week ago and now I am sick again. How is that possible? I have a horrible sore throat and it is going down to my lungs. I thought that IVs would get this all out of me.

I am also on cipro, how is it possible to just get off IVs, be on an antibioitic and then get sick? Has this happened to anyone?

It's happened to me before. I've just gotten off IVs or been on some antibiotic of some kind... and still got a really nasty cold. Don't know what to tell you, though.

I have had it happen. It could be anything from a new bacteria that the meds didnt get to a virus. Its really hard to say. Last year I had it non stop for months. No rhyme or reason, but couldnt get better. When we thought I was it would start again with fevers etc. Good Luck!

for some reason I figured that since I was on IVs I wouldn't get sick. Seems like a wasted of IVs though. Thanks<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

is it possible you have thrush? I sometimes get that from IV meds and when I do my throat hurts horribly.

Also if you have caught some type of viral thing antibiotics wouldn't take care of that anyhow.

It has happened to me before too getting sick right after IVs sucks big time, normally for me it is because some dufus that I know is sick when I get off IVs and doesn't say anything when I hang out with them. Then I end up catching whatever it is they had. Now I make an announcement to everyone I know when I get off IVs - "if you have a cold tell me because I don't want to see you - if you have a cold and say nothing and I get sick because of you ... I reserve the right to beat you to death" lol people act like I am joking, but since I started saying that people make sure to tell me if they are sick when I am just getting off IVs lol.

I hope you start feeling better and that this is just some viral thing that stays viral and doesn't turn into more of a lung involved thing.

Happy Holidays and take Care,

viruses and bacteria are totaly different things.

the antibiotics that you were on destroy bacteria.

you can still catch a virus while on IV's or after IV's. and the most powerful antibiotics don't touch viruses.

i just got through a cold last week that started in my nose/throat and low and behold...that sucker was in my lungs a few days later. it's so frustrating. as my doc used to say "misery loves company".

This just happened to me. I am still fighting it. I was on IVs in Septemeber and was sick within a week or two of being off of them. Now I am having flare ups every few weeks. I agree...what a waste of IVs!
