Hi Ladies.
Ok, I talked to the doc on call about the reaction I was having with cipro( I was getting tingly prickly feelings all over). He said to stop it just in case. This is the thing, he said I am allerigc to all the meds they use to treat UTI's really. He called in bactrim for me to try, but was not sure if it would help or not ( maybe it is not normally used to treat UTI's I dont know).
I asked for the liquid form thinking it would be easier on my tummy ( I have major motility issues of the gut). Well, I took half the dose last night, I just took half because I wanted to see how I reacted to it. A half hour after taking it my bladder was in soooo much pain. I think it irritated my bladder. Now my stomach is even bothering me, I feel like a stuffed pig, so I guess it is upsetting my digestive tract as well.
Have any of you taken bactrim for a UTI and been ok with it? Does it flare the IC.
I have a problem because if this does not work for me, then I am out of luck as I am allergic to all meds that treat UTI's. He said I could go to the hospital and get IV anti-B's. That is a problem since I cannot really afford to do that every time I get a UTI and it is often it seems.
I also do instillations at home once a week and am very very clean when I do it and use all the precautions( more than what the doctors even do), yet I am still getting these infections. I just dont understand it.
Any ideas on what I could do? I mean is it possible to take an antibiotc that you have a reaction to,, but just take it with benadryl to counter act the reactions? I am just wondering, I would not do this unless I asked my doctor of course first. I just wanted to know if anyone has ever done this?
Thanks for listening. I am at a loss here.
