Experiences with

Antibiotics

I need Antibiotics to stop the bleeding, doctors here don't want to give me the Antibiotics to stop the bleeding. I am tired of having to go to the bathroom and have pools of blood in the toilet, it is so bad that when I go to set down on the toilet it squirts out all over the toilet and the floor.

How do I convince my nurse I need more than 7 days antibiotics. Thanks

I have an infection on my face and have been prescribed antibiotics by g.p.She did not know whether to stop filgotinib for a few days.No reply from rheumy nurse.What have others done in these circumstances.Thankyou .I know you cannot give advice,but any past experiences gratefully received.

Morning. This old chestnut again I'm afraid. I spoke to my sister yesterday evening. She has had aortic valve replacement. She said her dental hygienist refused to carry out a clean without prophylactic antibiotic cover. NICE guidelines have changed. Her dentist was not so sure. Long

do you have to stop taking the jack inhibitor if you have to take antibiotics?

Has anyone had these antibiotics with my condition? TIA

I've had a bad throat infection and was given antibiotics (the generic penicillin type). I've had a shocking migraine since starting taking the antibiotics (3 days ago). No sleep and have now lost appetite. Triptan didn't do anything at all.

hi,I have just started amoxicillin for blepharitis, 3×500mg a day, I go for my blood test next week prior to starting zoledronic acid infusion, will antibiotics have any effect.

I’ve had 4 courses of antibiotics to no avail but prior to the methotrexate. GP wants me to try antibiotics again but I’m concerned about the interaction. I’ve been having fortnightly blood monitoring but it has recently been transferred to GP monitoring every 3 months.

hi, does anyone else get vertigo quite badly during a course of (penicillin) antibiotics for an eye infection. Was on day 5 of 7 and have felt faint, lightheaded, sick, exhausted, and spinning sensations, going up and down. How long does this take to pass once finishing? Was okay first 3/4 days.

I'm wondering if any of you (who are on high doses of PRED) have also been prescribed preventative antibiotics? I hate to take things I don't need to take, especially when I'm already a space cadet with all this PRED. Thanks for your input.

2 weeks ago after 24 hours of vomiting & diarrhoea and feeling very unwell got phone call from Rheumy nurse to say my last blood test showed an infection and I should contact 111 and get urgent antibiotics prescription.   This I did and was dealt with very efficiently and quickly.  

I’m currently in the middle of a week long course of flucloxacillin. Plus also on low fodmap elimination phase to help with IBS stuff. Ideally I’d like to support my gut with dietary probiotics rather than taking tablets (as I hate taking them usually) and wondered if any members with experience

has anyone taken this? Im terrified after reading reviews online.. i was prescribed cipro for sibo and now after researching the thought of taking it makes me feel ill… I dont know if its just me being dramatic but i dont know what to do! The side effects.. the ‘floxing’ is just scaring me! 😭

So antibiotics. Then bad sinus infection. More anti biotics. Really messed up my digestive system. more C. But the pain is wind. Anywhere I can hear it. But get sharp pain in my pelvic floor area. Even a pee can start it up. GP says will take time. But Buscopan not really helping.

They finished on the wednesday and by Friday I was just as bad as I was before the antibiotics. Is anyone on antibiotics on a lower dose but 3 times weekly? Do they help keep infection down and make breathing easier?.

Ive been on Metronidazole antibiotics for 5 days now for sibo and they havent helped at all. My bloating is still there and feel so ill… do i leave it for a week to settle after the antibiotics or go back to doctors.. have no idea what to do… sibo has ruined my life and ibs!! Its so painful.

I’ve been very fortunate not having had a chest infection since my COPD diagnosis 4 years ago and before then I rarely needed antibiotics and, if I did, amoxicillin always did the trick!! So, this latest infection has been a steep learning curve.

Hi everyone I keep getting water infections 2 weeks ago antibiotics and went hospital this morning to be told another infection so more antibiotics. My problem is I don’t get any symptoms 😩 anyone else having this problem
