things are looking bad for us here

my wife is seeing dr p in ct

tried zithro/mepron combo for 5 weeks until steven johnson syndrom allergic reaction acured

test dosed mepron for 1 week and no reaction so it must have been the zithro that caused allergic reaction

dr p is looking for another abx to take the place of zithro - so we test dosed biaxin - after 5 days severe diarreh and today hives on the legs and she is complaining of chest pain

she says it feels like like her heart is fluttering

strange thing is she is allergic to both zithro and biaxin (or so it seems)but she does ok with clyndomiacin

and all three are in the same group of abx

dr p told us if she doesnt do well with the biaxin it is going to limit his options for oral use and we may need to do IV

we have done IV 3 times and really cant afford $$$ to do it anymore [bonk]

she is recently very positive for babs and has a long history of bart.
