Hi again,
I tried Cipro a long time ago and the doctors stopped it because I'm intolerant
so it make me puke and gave me diarrhea. The gave me another medication as a
solution, like gentamicin for example or Bactrim, Septra, Macrobid, ect. Also,
I've been having a lot of bad experiences with antibiotics because they gave us
lots of side effects sometimes. Specialy, if you have been taking antibiotics
for a long period of time, not only you become resistant (meds don't take
effect as much anymore), you're starting to kill the good bacterias in your
intestin so it can give you diarrhea and bloated stomach, even a Clostridium
Difficile which is not a good feeling, similar to diarrhea and bloated stomach.
Anyway, make sure to eat some yogurt to build your flore of good bacteria in
the intestin, it will prevent having a C Difficile and more. I hope it help a
bit.

Yannik,
Thank you for your response.. I'm also having a lot of spasms, diarrhea,
bloated stomach after I started taking the Cipro. I have taken it many times
with no problems. I don't know if that is a side effect of the Cipro or the UTI
infection. I have had bowel with a lot of other infections. Has anyone else.
I have had pseudomonas in my lungs and I was told it would never go away?

Hi,
About medications for UTI, it really depends on the colonization of bacteria
that you have in your bladder at the time of your symptoms. I used to have a
lot of pseudomonas in my bladder at a time and the doctors were giving me
gentamicin IV and my last infections, for some reason, there was a lot of
staphylococcus (SARM) in it so I was giving Antibiotic again but by pill this
time, Bactrim. I think it all depends to the doctor that is treating you and
the kind of bacteria present in your bladder a that time. Each type of bacteria
has a few different antibiotic as a solution to treat it, well at least most. I
hope it help a bit.
Thanks,
Yannik

My Nurse Took a Culture in the Stoma Last Week. The Pharmacy Called and Said
They Were Sending a Penicillin, Which I Have Been Allergic to for Years and
Would Have Died If I Had Not Gotten to ER in Time for Drugs to Open up My
Airway.
Then They Changed It to Bactrim. Today I Became Really Cold and Chilling with a
Fever. I Called the On-Call Doctor and they gave me Cipro. They always give me
generic drugs.
They Gave Me a New Doctor When My Previous Doctor Became a Hospitalist..
What are all of you given for UTIs and do any of you have iIleo- conduit. It
seems like I can read more than I should.
My previous nursing agency was not doing me cultures the right way. They
couldn't find another nurse to replace her when she went to another job. The
agency would not give her the right kind of red catheters to check my ostomy
stoma. I then had to wait several weeks to see my doctor because she would not
write new orders until she saw me and she was going to be out of town. And she
did not give the orders to the new agency. I don't think they know the needs a
quadriplegic.
I would appreciate any suggestions and information.
Dana
