HII, JOHN----TRUE JOHN SEEMS LIKE ANY OL'E CUT OR SORE CAN CATCH ALL KINDS OF INFECTION. ABOUT ALMOST A YEAR AGO, I GOT A PRESSURE SORE ON MY HEEL AREA, THE FOOT DOCTOR TESTED THAT SPOT AND PUT ME ON ANTI-BIOTICS SAYING IT HAD STAFF---THAT HEEL IS STILL NOT 100 PERCENT WELL-- I HAVE TO WEAR SANDALS BECAUSE LONG DAY'S OF REGULAR TENNIS SHOES TURNS IT RED LOOKING AGAIN. THREE WEEKS AGO I GOT OFF A PICK LINE I. V. DRUGS FOR A PSEUDOMONAS BLADDER UTI------WHEN MY UROLOGIST AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE DOCS, TOOK ME OFF THE DRUG ( FORTAZ ) THEY SAID I ( STILL HAD ) PSEUDOMONAS PLUS NOW ANOTHER TYPE UTI INFECTION ---BUT SAID THEY WERE DISCONTINUING TREATMENTS FOR FEAR OF BACTERIA MUTATING INTO NEWER MORE RESISTANT BACTERIA. I STILL HAVE BLADDER AND BODY SPASMS-----THAT I THINK ARE FROM THE UTI-------BUT WHAT CAN WE DO EXCEPT WHAT DOCTORS TELL US. ( ON THE BLOOD PRESSUE ISSUE ) MINE HAS ALWAYS BEEN LOW ABOUT 80 0VER 60 OR SO----------BUT LATELY LIKE TODAY-------IT'S RUNNING 58 OVER 43 CAUSING DIZZY SICK FEELING-----MY DOC PUT ME ON (FLORICORTISONE ) FOR THAT, HE SAID ONCE A DAY, BUT RIGHT NOW I'M JUST TAKING THEM WHEN MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS REALLY LOW, UNTIL I SEE HIM AGAIN ON THE 27TH.

Saturday, a small scratch on my wrist became red and remarkably tender. Since I had a Tuesday appointment with a GP, and a I keep several anti-biotics on hand, including Clindamyacyn (what are the odds), I began taking it on Sunday. My doctor ordered I up the dosage on Tuesday when he saw it. Definitely, take probiotics with this stuff. I'm being braggart here, never start a drug before talking to your doctor. I did it because we share the same brain. Any anti-biotic is a serious poison and can cause irreparable damage if used with certain other drugs or with those of you with bad kidney problems. (if I start loosing urine volume I have to meet a urologist at an an ER asap)Being a quad means many drugs are getting tested. I've often wondered what you guys take for bladder and kidney infections. Which anti-biotics are best tolerated and do the job. Critical side effects and nuisance side effects? How many of you take prophylactic drugs? Should you be? A lot of you are very well informed and capable of learning enough drug chemistry to do some otherwise expensive testing at home. My wrist hurts like hell especially since I haven't felt it in 33 years. I read the letter on low blood pressure and I am pretty certain low blood pressure leads to these exact problems, as well. Healing the most minor of injuries turns into life threatening problems. I swear it looked like a tiniest piece of dead skin rubbed off at first. To a staff bacteria, it probably looked like an Olympic swimming pool. So, here I am waiting to see if it needs IV anti-botics. The real pisser is it's my good hand, if you can call it that. Looks like it wants to pop a golf ball out, The kind they play in the snow with. I'm probably babbling from an anti-biotic high, but I thought I should mention how low blood pressure can also make blood clots form as well as weakening our immune systems. If you get any even super minor skin defects, it isn't asking too much to put an antiseptic dressing on it. Have a nice Holiday, john I
