Not Really Sure.....

Well, a few weeks ago, I thought possibly I had a bad tooth. Well after finding a dentist that actually took a patient, not of their own and getting checked out, it is my sinuses. Well, I do have allergies and I called my pcp and got a script for augmentin. Well at first it was fine, about the third day I felt sick, still in pain and figured it was all caused by the sinus inflamation. So I keep taking the medication, pain subsided after about 8 days and the doctor said to finish the meds cause he wrote it for 15 days. I have three days left and not taking it anymore. :angry:

I do have celiac, diagnosed by biopsy and then bloodwork and really never had any symptoms until I eat something now since going gluten free, or possibly in this case took a medication that I shouldn't have. My doctor knows I have celiac as well. I have felt bloated, stomache cramps, missed 2 1/2 days of work, nauseous, d but only slight until today, and also felt like I am there but not really. I know that sounds weird, but has anyone else felt like that and have any suggestions? Also does anyone really know what is in Augmentin? I tried looking it up but then you have to look those words up and then those words and get lost in figuring it all out. :(

If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. I am calling the pharmacy and also calling the doctor to see if there is anything else that can be done. <_<

Hi Lisa,

I can't help you with what's in augmentin but can say I cannot tolerate it either. For me, it was horrible stomach pains, the big D, and swollen fingers with a rash on my face. The doc had to switch me to something else. My pharmacists said that alot of people get D with augmentin but the swollen fingers and rash is not as common. Hope you feel better soon!

Augmentin makes me vomit.

I have heard it is very hard for many to digest.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
