Someone recently got severe tinnitus possibly from norco
I got dependent on oxy after surg and it wasnt fun getting off it
I would hope none of that would happen with one time low dose
I get the underarm thing and red root helps it right away but if you dont have it thats not helpful
I guess i would drink lots of lemon water, get alcaselzer gold...or chloella ...questran or welchol....doc should give you those if your lipuds are high
Good luck_sorry for typos

Maybe you need to find out why there's so much pain.

Maybe I better go to doc. This all started after he put me on that flagyl. I tried it for abiut four days and then had to stop. Then all hell broke loose.
Surely swollen glands cant be this awful painful can they.

I rotated pain meds for years when I didn't know what I had. I rotated vicodin, demerol, tylco#4 and tramadol so as not to go up in dosage and develop tolerance. I basically only took something so I could sleep.
Eventually, after many, many years, I started getting headaches from all of it, so am just on lighter stuff now.
There's also MS contin, a form of morphine - I was allergic to it.
What about trying out a lympn drainage massage session with someone to see if it helps at all?

I used hot washclothes yesterday twice and it seemed to help alot.
im also increasing my milk thistle.
I'm never taking flagyl again with cipro. im thinking this is a herx from hell.
I cried on and off all day yesterday. the depression is awful.
I went to askapatient.com and looked up flagyl. I have most of those symptoms so it's the drug I'm sure. I'm hoping this will clear eventually. I've been off it for about a week.
