Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 Hi Sharon, I have taken this medicine before and I know if your dosage is too high it will make you sick as a dog. You will throw up and up and up. But before you think it may be that be sure you don't have a bug or something else going on. I know when it happened to me, they had to finally give me an IV to stop the vomiting. If it continues please call your doctor. its better to be safe and sure than worry. We are glad you are here and we are here to help. Take care, love Lu colchicine. I tried looking it up but the info given wasn't too great. I started taking this medication yesterday morning but by the evening I was so sick--nauseaus, fever and just feeling terrible. This morning the same way--but I don't know if I'm feeling like this because of the flu, my granddaughter had it on Sat. and my husband got it on Mon.--or if it's this new drug. I also don't understand why my Rheumy put me on colchicine along with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Bless.....Isa- Message ----- From: Lee27a@... Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 7:20 PM To: Rpolychondritis Subject: another question? I wanted to say that you ladies made me feel so welcome and your kindness and understanding means so much to me. Thank you so much. I have a question about the medication, colchicine. I tried looking it up but the info given wasn't too great. I started taking this medication yesterday morning but by the evening I was so sick--nauseaus, fever and just feeling terrible. This morning the same way--but I don't know if I'm feeling like this because of the flu, my granddaughter had it on Sat. and my husband got it on Mon.--or if it's this new drug. I also don't understand why my Rheumy put me on colchicine along with the augmentin. He told me when I start to feel better I can stop taking the colchicine. From what I've been reading, this particular medicine is not a cure for RP. Am I missing something here? I know my mind is gone but I wonder if any of you wonderful ladies have been treated with this one drug along with an antibiotic? I don't want to get worse and if I'm not on the right treatment--do you know what I'm talking about? If so let me know lol Seriously, I am concerned about this and it seems like the inside of my eardrum is hurting along with the outer part of my ear.
