[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 68163, member: 1991"] Sorry, it's also off my list. It's called Ciproxin over here. I've got to remember, I have to ring and make an appointment for an ultrasound. The doctor doesn't think there's a stone but he wants to rule it out. Plus a scan in the last year or so found a cyst somewhere, I really can't remember whether it was kidney or ovary. Or maybe I'm remembering the cyst on difficult child 3's kidney which they said to not worry about. My problem is aggravated by the MS-like symptoms I've had for a long time - my bladder won't let go properly. I have to allow a lot of time in the bathroom, I generally have a copy of "War and Peace" or equivalent in there. Not helped by the slightly weird anatomy, which send infection northward too often. Allergies - penicillin was the first, back when husband & I first married. Then a few months later, sulfa drugs. Then erythromycin. All within a year. Since then, a lot of newer antibiotics are sufficiently closely related to the oldies-but-goodies for me to react to them also, at least after the first few times. Not all reactions are allergic - just most. A lot of the others involve vomiting or diarrhoea, which later turns into urticaria reactions. But when you're taking oral antibiotics, if you can't keep them in your body they won't do any good. Now the list includes macrodantin, cephalosporin, triprim, tetrex, ciproxin, noroxin and other non-antibiotics such as all NSAIDS and any medications coloured purple with indigo carmine. And iron supplements. is it any wonder I try to grow our own vegetables and herbs? The best defence is to stay healthy - it's just not working well for me right now. I should sign off now and head for bed - plus, my derriere hurts like the dickens. G'night, all. Marg [/QUOTE]
