bactrim and kidney infections

[Guest guest]

Hi Cat,

When I took Bactrim for a kidney infection it REALLY kicked off an

uncontrolable 'shake' above and beyond the CMT tremors. I called my

pharmacist who said 'sounds like an allergic reaction' and told me to

stop the medication. I called my Dr. who gave me a different, non-sulfa

med. for the infection. That 'shake' stopped, and the kidney infection

cleared up. To this day I make sure I get NO sulfa drugs (of which

Bactrim) is in that clas) drink tons of water and cranberry juice.

Whether it is just me that has the sulfa drug allergy, or it has some

wierd effect on peripheral nerves I don't know.

Hi, Gretchen:

I also had a reaction to a sulfa drug (I guess) called Microbid for a

urinary tract infection. It made me numb from my waist down.
