Medication Side Effect

Hi Lorrie,

I do no think it is hives.  The red patches on just on my face.  I think it may be the new hormone drug, Osphena.  If it continues, I will call my Dr.  

Thanks for your response.

Hi Suki ,

I do not think it is hives.  I have red patches just on my face.  I did read the leaflets and it looks like the Osphena may be causing this.  I do not want to stop taking it since my Dr. really believes it can help with the atrophy.  As always, thank for your response.  If it gets worse, I will call my Dr.

Hi Beverly,

Thanks for your response.  I think it it eczema.  More than likely it is a reaction from one of the meds I am taking.  If it persists, I will call my Dr.

Didn't know meds could give you eczema. Is that something you already have?

That list I posted was for Keflex, BTW, not Osphena. I have no experience with taking either one. Good luck.

I never had on and off eczema before I started with 16 UTI’s over the course of 35 months.  I have taken so many antibiotics.  I only have 3 more days of Keflex.  I hope the eczema calms down.  I am using a medicated cream that my dermatologist prescribed.  It seems to be helping.  Thank you for your reply.

Taking so many antibiotics must have put your whole system out of balance, killing the good bacteria as well as the bad. You need to put good bacteria back into your system by taking pre and probiotics and eating fermented foods. Latest research has shown that those good bacteria are vital to our health and wellbeing and the functioning of our body.

I am taking a probiotic named Probiotic 10 by Nature Made.  I am not taking a Prebiotic.  I do eat yogurt at least 5 days a week.  Any recommendations would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Fermented foods and drinks such as Kombucha (fermented green tea), kimchi (very hot spicy-wise), sauerkraut (fermented cabbage), kefir (fermented milk) and miso paste (used in Japanese miso soup) are very good at restoring the good gut bacteria.

Thank you so much Suki girl.  I will buy these products tomorrow.  You have been such a big help.

You might want to ease into them. You don't want to overwhelm your system.

Thank you Beverly.

Where are you? In the US? You may have more fermented products there than I know about. Look up fermented food on Wikipedia - it has a page with a huge list.

Hi,

Yes, I live in the US, New Jersey.  I will look up the fermented products.  Thanks again.
