After my hives on doxy my LLMD started me on Rifabutin. I will add clindamycin next week then tindamax the week after.
I started rifabutin on Monday and I was fine until Wednesday. Wendesday I was a little off, but by Thursday and today I am in bad shape. Just incredible muscle weakness and major increase in pain levels. I had been doing great with oxycontin 10mg twice daily but now I'm taking what I feel like is way too much dilaudid. Last night I couldn't even turn over in bed, due to incredible pain and weakness. I had to wake my husband up to help me.
This morning I had to take a dilauid an hour before I could even consider getting up.
On top of that, my lymph nodes on the back of my head are swollen and painful in about
a four inch radius around them. My CPAP straps go right over that area. I couldn't use it. I consider it important enough that I never miss a night. I'm going to try some padding on the back oh my head tonight and see if that helps.
I saw my LLMD today and she thinks it will probably last two weeks. We talked about
detoxing. My bathtub is broken. Maybe this will move it up my husband's list. I guess I should do foot soaks at least. She also recommended 2-3000 mg of vitamin C followed by two big glasses of water.
I just keep telling myself that two weeks is nothing. I don't believe myself
I also found out I have gluten sensitivity. I knew gluten was bad, but now I'm trying to go gluten free in the middle of a crappy time. Maybe that's better, to do it when I already feel like crap, instead of doing it when I feel decent. Then I would be making a decent day crappy. I don't know...
