Guest guest Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I have bladder infections all the time. I am allergic to anything sulfa so I am limited on antis I can take. Good luck with this crap. Today I broke my Personal Record;;;;;;;; I am STILL ALIVE............ Jackie Sulfa and sarc flares? Recently, I was put on trimethaprim sulfa for recurrent bladder infections (something new for me since I developed neurosarc 4 yrs ago)At our support group meeting yesterday,I learned that a doctor had told one of our members that a recent study in Europe linked flares with sulfa drugs. Does anyone here have any knowledge of this? If at all possible, I'd like to have something more than hearsay to approach my doctor. But the last thing I want is a flare as you all can well understand.Secondary question, another member told me that bladder infections are common in sarc.

Lots of non-medicine ideas to consider. @Ramblin' Rose I can't find anything online either. I've asked the person who told me about her doctor's advice to see if she can get some kind of reference from him so hopefully, she will be able to provide more info. I'll be interested if you find anything and will be sure to share anything if I strike gold myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hey everyone! I've been having a lot of bladder infections as well and the doctors say it comes from me having to be on so many different medications. Sometimes I really want to just give up on taking any medications and try going to see an herbal doctor. Please keep my in your prayers I go for my malpractice case deposition tomorrow and I've been waiting a long time for this day. It will be exactly three years on June 23 that the doctor's at town University Hospital change my life forever when they give me the medication that I was allergic to that almost cost me my life. I suffer a lot to this day from their negligence and have so many life threatening illness. I pray that all goes well and justice prevails. Thanks for your support and prays.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Not sure what I missed - but in 2002 I took sufa antibiotics - got a fever and turned bright red and itchy - 2007 I was diagnosed with Sarc,but I was sick before that.
