Will the drs change her to some different meds/antibiotics? I would think that would be an easy switch to see if it really is this particular med having a negative effect on her mobility.

 

Keep your chin up and use your instincts & knowledge to get Phoebe the help she needs to get well. Don't let the nurse upset you, she is probably just doing her job. You are a good mother, remember that (!!), and don't beat yourself up about that call.

 

Prayers are continuing for her improved health and her complete return to walking!

Phoebe started walking a little bit on Friday, and I had held off on both antibiotics (Bactrim, erythromycin) just to see if she got better.  Which she did.  I also took her to the pediatrician on Friday for all kinds of blood work.  So far nothing strange has showed up to indicated leukemia or arthritis.  The pediatrician did seem to think she felt a small amount of fluid on Phoebe’s knee, but when she straightened it out she was not sure.  She checked her hips for dysplasia and pain and nothing seemed to bother phoebe, and the fact that phoebe started toddling again on Friday made the doctor seem like there was really nothing wrong.  She said Phoebe was probably feeling yucky from being sick and just did not want to walk because of that.   It is not normal for Phoebe to do that, but the doctor did not seems to think anything of it.

 

So over the weekend I put her back on the meds and dosed her antibiotics as prescribed because I was admonished and reprimanded for stopping them.  Lo and behold, phoebe has stopped walking again.  She won’t even pull up on the edge of something.  She only does the butt scoot thing across the floor and occasionally will crawl on hands and knees, but very little.

 

So I called the doctors again.

 

It seems to me like the antibiotics might be affecting her, but I have called all three of the doctors (ped, pulmo, gastro) and they all assure me that is pretty much impossible.  I know some people here have reported joint pain from antibiotics, but how to you get your doctors to see that as a possibility?  If I continue the antibiotics will I permanently damage her joints if that is the issue?  Although the doctors do not seems to think that can happen.

 

To make things worse, when I was speaking to the nurse line just a few minutes ago she seemed to be very concerned about phoebe not walking. but not because of a medical issue.  It was as if she implied I was doing something to Phoebe to affect her walking ability.  When she called back I could tell she had someone else on the line listening in.  She started grilling me about if Phoebe had fallen or had been injured or if she had bruises, but the questioning seemed accusatory.   I do not know what to think about that one.  I am scared that CPS is going to show up at my house next.  I’ve heard nightmares when disabled children have been removed from their homes when their health started deteriorating. Please pray that it is only my paranoia kicking and that some bad assumption from a phone triage nurse does not cause that happen.  I would never ever consider hurting ANY child, much less my own flesh and blood whom I love more that life itself, and it petrifies me that someone might think that.

 

Of course the antibiotics have made her stomach issues a nightmare, but who knows if it is medication or cystic fibrosis or celiac or a combination of all of those.

I agree with Caroline. Don't worry about the nurse. She may not have even realized she came across the way she did. You have nothing to worry about - you have been nothing but dedicated to helping Phoebe. I'm sure your doctors realize that. Tristan fell off the couch and cracked his skull when he was a baby. One of the nurses acted very strangely toward me and I was so scared CPS was going to come knocking. Thankfully, my doctor knew me well enough. I think most of them use common sense. Praying the same for your situation and that Phoebe kicks whatever this is and gets back to her spunky self.

Sam has often had reactions uncommon to the medications, it took

a year or so of my documenting this with his pediatrician before he and Sam’s

pulmonary doctor began to tell others that Sam doesn’t medicate well and

they should proceed cautiously and slowly. Throwing a bunch of

medications into Sam’s system caused all kinds of reactions

including: respiratory distress, skin rashes, severe bloating, mania,

constipation, diarrhea and joint issues to name a few. Sam is on the SCD

diet because his gut wasn’t even handling food well so medications sent

his whole system into distress. Unfortunately it takes the medical

profession the time to see something happen over and over again before they

begin to listen. Go with your gut…Sam had to teach me this.

Call a pharmacist.

Seriously. They know about the drugs. I went 20 yrs with a condition

called cold urticaria. ( allergy to cold temps mine is so bad i break

out in air conditioning. Or even on ninty degree days outside, just from

the sweat cooling my skin...Literally hives every day of my live

somewhere on my body.)

i was 27 yrs old when I just happened to be given Claritin for a sinus

infection. First time in 27 yrs that i did not break out in hives! And

for an entire week! I called the pharmacist to ask him/her. And had to

take the information to my doc.

It may be some combination of the antibiotic and the celiac or CF or

something maybe it is affecting her absorption?.

Thanks Shari. Yesterday and today I did not give her the erythromycin. I still have a full Rx of reglan so I am doing that in its place. The Erythromycin was being used to increase stomach motility, and the Bactrim is handling that just fine. Phoebe seems a little bit more mobile than she has been. She is not walking full time, but more than she was. Now she is holding on to her feet as if her feet hurt sometimes. I have got a consult with a PT to evaluate how she is walking and to see if her ankles are weak or some other joint issue that might be causing the pain. I just have a hunch that it is the erythromycin, or that it at least is contributing. Once the Bactrim runs its course I am going to add the erythromycin back to her medication regimin to see if anything changes. Doing my best to take it all in stride, although that is hard sometimes.
