Help (medical vent)

[(Anonymous)]

So I was prescribed Bactrim (a sulfa antibiotic) on Monday for a combined uti and tonsil infection... which it turns out I’m allergic too. So I spent all of yesterday throwing up, and today I can’t stay awake for more than maybe an hour, and am generally barely able to get out of bed. I stopped taking the medicine yesterday but I’m still feeling worse than I was before I took the medicine. The doctors office just told me to wait it out after stopping it cause I should get better eventually , which is fine but I feel so bad, I don’t know how to deal with feeling this bad.

Does anyone have any tips on just how to make myself feel better as I try and get through this negative drug reaction? I will also just accept well wishes though, I just wanted to vent in one of my waking moments.

Argh, I’m so sorry, that sounds awful and I don’t have any advice, but I hope you feel better soon! My only allergy to antibiotics is to amoxycillin (and apparently, because of that, penicillin and related drugs) and I found out by developing a full body rash that made me want to rip my skin off, but at least I wasn’t nauseous. I hope someone has some good advice for you.

Thanks. I’m actually also allergic to penicillin, but I’ve known that since I was a kid (and it runs in my family) so I’ve never really dealt with the negative side effects. (The only time it’s been used on me I was being prepped for surgery so I have no memory of it). I’m just allergic to everything I guess :(

I am allergic to sulfa drugs, though it was so long ago that I found out that I don't actually remember it (my mom remembers it better). I did, however, have a more recent weird reaction to Singular - it seemed to affect my ulnar nerves or something and I had that tingly/numb sensation all down one side of each arm, from ring and pinky fingers to my elbows. It took several days before I was back to normal.

Let yourself sleep, drink lots of water and maybe some ginger ale if you're still nauseated.

An antihistamine, some are antiemetic like Dramamine and Gravol, might help, though most antihistamines I have taken usually make me at least a little drowsy.

I'm also allergic to Bactrim and I found out pretty much the same way. I slept for four days straight when I wasn't vomiting. It took about a week to feel more like a human being, sadly. Can you contact a doctor and see if they will prescribe you some zofram? (get the instant dissolving one if you can) Or drag yourself to a clinic for a phenergan shot? The zofram will help with the nausea but the phenergan will actually make you stop vomiting.
