Re: Strep?

[Guest guest]

Hi Jayne,

So sorry that you are feeling so yucky. Could it possibly be related to a

medicine you are taking? I was terribly sick from the Sulfasalazine and

thought it was the flu at first. My brother reacted to a medicine after

being on it for 3 years.....just a thought.

All my best,

Carole

Same with me, I took 1 g per day azulfidine for a week and felt ok, then

upped the dosage to 2 g a day and felt like I had the flu for 4 days. I

called the rheumy and they said it probably was the drug and to stop taking

it and I would feel much better in 24-48 hours - which was true. So since I

had 'failed' at azulfidine I got to move on to enbrel.

Hi Jayne,

Better safe than sorry. Should finish the antibiotic in my opinion.

I'm just getting over terrible swelling in the throat, neck, etc..

and doc tested for strep, neg. and did blood work. Decided might be

bacterial infection so a round of strong antibiotic and then followed

that with a steroid pack. My personal opinion is it is a flare of the

Sjogren's Syndrome. Glands run amok. Same thing happened in September

and was partly because of allergic reaction to Celebrex that I had

taken for a few months with NO problems. You would think if you were

allergic you would be allergic from day one. No dice, the lower

intestinal pains and upper respiratory problems started only after

taking Celebrex for a few months. An allergy can build up in the your

system. The pain will pass but is awful while it is present. Maybe

some warm wet towels compresses? Steamy baths? Gargling with salt

water? Get better soon. Scalloped potatoes go down well.

Take care,

Pat B
