Antibiotics (Erythromycin)

You know our family doctor says he has allergies but he has not been tested for any. He has been given clariten and nasalnex nose spray and it seems to help him. He is schedule for tests next week though.

Oh poor kid. They had prescribed that same nasal spray. I had to lay on my back and squirt it in my nose. It burned and made me feel like I was going to drown. I stop taking it. I am allergic to a lot of things now, that I was not allergic to as a child. I use to love the smell of things like gas, Pine-Sol, and fingernail polish remover. Now, the smell of these things trigger and Asthma attack. Also, strong perfumes, soaps, and other fragrances irritate my lungs. I am also allergic to a lot of dust. I remember my first Asthma attack in my thirties. I was sweeping a rug at my sister's house and I started breathing heavy and could not stop myself. I had been diagnosed with Asthma as a child, but had never had any problems, so I did not believe that the diagnosis was accurate. The older I get, the worse my Asthma is. I never knew that Asthma could be such a pain in the behind.

As I said, I am sensitive to a lot of different medications. Ones that may not cause any problems for most people, are too much for me to take. I am glad that your son was able to successfully take them. I know that he has Asthma, but does he also have allergies? I have both.

After that incident, I am extremely careful about what I take. Good night Marcia.

Good afternoon, Rozie, you in Ca. I am in Ohio, It is now 12:30pm, I will be calling my girl-friend in Ca. this afternoon. I hope you get those pills together.

I know, it's so hard to find something that works for me that I can take. My doctors track everything and try to find the right things for me. And I'm just midly allergic.

I am also allergic to at least one pain killer. That is Celebrex. It caused the inside of my hand to itch real bad and I had leg cramps. A lot of people are allergic to it. The sad part is that this pain medicine really works well. But it is not worth it.

I usually look up the medication and find out all the information that I can about it, before taking it, but I still have not heard about anything like what happened to me. Maybe there is a website just for this medication. I will go and check it out now.

That sounds really horrible and frightening. I am glad that you were able to get to the hospital quick. If I looked in the mirror and my face was like that, I would faint. I found out that I was allergic to Penicillin when I was a child.

Her gallbladder and kidneys shut down? Oh, how awful, I am so sorry to hear this. I am glad I started this dicussion, I had never heard of the Z-pack. This is excellent information, thank you.
