Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 I love that word, " hoobles " . My son (7) has the same problem. After he's been sitting on my husband's shoulders he has trouble walking, and he does get a lot of knee soreness after a day at the fair or soccer practice. I asked the cf doc last week if we were worried about it and he said " not yet " because it's still incidental pain, there isn't a lot of swelling, it doesn't keep him awake, etc. He did a course of cipro in the spring, but the joint pain existed before and since. Seems to be worse since his IV's in September (gentamycin and cefapime)... he was on bactrim then, too. steph > In a message dated 10/22/2003 11:36:18 AM Central Daylight Time, > Najnest@a... writes: > Just curious, my son has joint pain and frequently " hoobles' after > sitting too long or doing too much running.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 Hi Pattie, I am sorry to hear that your daughter has a cold and cough. We are fighting a cold too. Just so you know, that cipro can give some terrible diarrhea and yeast infections. So don't forget the yogurt and a lot of water! , our daughter, has been on Tobi every other month for over 3 years. I think that it is the reason that she has been so well for so long! (it's been 3 yrs since she has needed to be in the hospital for IV's.) Advice on Antibiotics Hi everyone, My daughter was recently put on Tobi and zithromax, as she has had her first PA culture. She was doing well, aside from the scratchy throat, but came down with a cold as all her friends and her gramma have been sick. I gave her a week to watch symptoms before calling the dr. In comparison to developing infections prior to the new treatments, I really thought the cold was running its course and that she would be okay. But wouldn't you know it by the 8th day the nose seemed to be clear but than the chunky cough came through. So we saw the dr. and she felt we needed to start Cipro (this is also new to us). I'm concerned about all these antibiotics! She assured me it was okay and normal for CF patients. She doesn't normally jump the gun with them and I trully trust her judgement, but I was wondering what everyone here thought. She is on Tobi for three straight months, this being the first, and the Zithromax Mon, Wed & Fri. She has been on both for about a month now. Any comments? Thanx, Pattie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 > Same with my son! When he was 4 he was briefly on Cipro for a lung > infection and got such bad joint pain (it's commonly referred to as an > arthritic reaction) No, my son has never had cipro. He did have a three week course of a different antibiotic because he came down with Lyme disease last year. I'm just trying to figure out if it is Lyme, CF or what? jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
