ok, ya'll i thought after being off antibiotics for several weeks, i would start off again....
yesterday i took one biaxin and one cipro....
at 10 i was doubled over in pain right under my left rib. the entire area was swollen and sort of pulsing....the pain was deep inside.....
the right side hurt a little but not as much as the left.
could that do that after only one pill each? casue such spleen pain? it kept me UP for hours.....
dang, looks like i'm not able to tolerate any antibiotic or was it just herxing huh?
crap....

i guess no one answered this a month ago-or did you all go somewhere else to talk about it
my left under rib pain has been getting worse for 3 yrs-no one can figure it out(scopes, ultra, ct)
new llmd thinks it is bart-poss nodules on spleen-dr JS who wrote the text books on bart and babs says nodules there are common
llmd says treat bart-i am on rifamppin
THE FIRST PILL I TOOK I GOT BAD PAIN SAME PLACE!
on my own i am using lots of probiotics
i was sort of happy-thinking it was a herx...and a little scared. he agreed it was a herx and encouraged me to be really good about tx
in the last 6 months i have not been able to take biaxin for a bunch of reasons
now-i haven't followed what has happened to you in the last month
i know a lot of us are dealing with this pain and i wish we could make ONE thread to share on
my pain often comes after eating-but i hardly eat:
-one piece toast -a yogurt smoothie -chic and veg
i just found this after googling enlarged sleen-maybe you all know this-but it scares me
i hurt real bad today and am thinking about going to er-but with so many workups being negative...i am putting it off
anyway-what do you think about this? and if you are talking about it somewhere else please tell me where. thanks.
just googled enlarged sleen and found this:
An enlarged spleen affects each of these vital functions. For instance, as your spleen grows larger, it begins to filter normal red blood cells as well as abnormal ones, reducing the number of healthy cells in your bloodstream. It also traps too many platelets. Eventually, excess blood cells and platelets can clog your spleen, interfering with its normal functioning. An enlarged spleen may even outgrow its own blood supply, which can damage or destroy sections of the organ.
What causes it?
A number of infections and diseases can contribute to an enlarged spleen, including:
VIRAL INFECTIONS, such as mononucleosis
Bacterial infections, such as SYPHILIS or an infection of your heart's inner lining (endocarditis)
PARACITIC INFECTIONS, such as MALARIA
Cirrhosis and other diseases affecting the liver
Various types of hemolytic anemia -- a condition characterized by premature destruction of red blood cells
Blood cancers, such as leukemia and Hodgkin's disease
Metabolic disorders, such as Gaucher's disease and Niemann-Pick disease
Pressure on the veins in the spleen or liver or a blood clot in these veins
I CAPITALIZED THE THINGS THAT JUMPED OUT AT ME:
VIRUS: LOTS OF US LYMIES HAVE LOTS OF VIRUSES
SYMPHILIS: LIKE BORRELIA
PARACITES: LOTS OF US HAVE THEM
MALARIA: LIKE BABESIA

Increase your probiotics and see what happens. Maybe you need a few weeks of just probiotics and then start again. Maybe you need to start with just one antibiotic. Just a couple of suggestions!

Yes I agree, one at a time maybe. My LLMD is going to start me very slowly b/c my stomach and body are so sensitive to meds. Maybe that would help.
I hope that you feel better, Jenny
