Has anyone had a problem with antibiotics wiping out prednisone. Was down to 2.5-lowest in 8 years. Took antibiotics (Bactrim) and all old PMR symptoms came back. Hurt all over. Read Bactrim and Cipro are quinolones and do not work well with Steroids. Neither Dr or pharmacist knew this. Not sure how

I just got done with my MRIs and MRAs, so we’ll see if results show much. My blood test came back with sed rate normal (always has been) and C-reactive prrotein headed down. It went from normal in PMR, to 1.3 and then 2.0 in GCA. Now at 0.8, so barely high and heading in the right direction. Still feeling

Dropped fron 22.5 prednisone to 20 three days ago and started having bad uti consequences. It must just be a consequence. See if Bactrim antibiotics works. Have you ever heard of this happening?

I am on V + O treatment. My last Obi infusion is July 3. A month ago I developed a rash on my chest, neck, and face. My oncologist had me stop Bactrim to confirm it was the culprit. The rash cleared within a week. Now he has me scheduled for an oral inhalation of pentamidine. I am concerned about this

Today is the 6-month anniversary of my kidney transplant. All continues to go very well with the exception of low white blood cell count. This has improved some but still comes in between 3.0 and 3.75 with 4.0 being the bottom of the normal range. Inspite of my low WBC count and pulling of bactrim 7

Hi all, I've been a GCA patient since AUG 2022 and am currently on 40 MG PRED (down from 60, then 50).

I haven't posted in a bit although every morning at 2:30am my HU digest comes in (and of course, because of pred i'm awake) and devour the posts which I so look forward to. They are so helpful and give such a sense of supportive community. Here's update. Saw new rheumy. Previous rheumy i only saw once

Did any got Cipro and bactrim for bacteria infections? How did you deal with it? I got a kidney transplant 18 days ago. Deceased donor, never on dialysis.

I told her that I had noticed the same thing and had convinced the Infectious Diseases Specialist (I am a pharmacist with a clinical background) to give me a ten-day course of Bactrim DS, a broad spectrum antibiotic for UTIs, and that I would be finishing it the next day.

My Doc just called in a prescription for Bactrim DS (antibiotic) which I have yet to start. When ill in July, I was treated for the diverticulitis with IV fluids and antibiotics and it took several weeks for the inflammation to settle down. I am scheduled for follow up colonoscopy.

So since I was in my 30s I’ve had an intermittently reoccurring issue that happens about every 6-12 months where I suddenly have a constant dull ache/burning sensation in my urethra. It gets worse when I have to pee. And I have to pee more frequently. Been checked for bacteria and STDs and it’s all come

Does anyone have any experience with antibiotics and liver disease ? I’ve been prescribed bactrim by my urologist but can’t seem to find anything solid regarding the safety of taking these pills with fatty liver . Any info would be appreciated.
