Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Can some explain celiac disease to me please Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile rheumatic Flagyl - From Bell Hi everyone! I almost never write to the group anymore. Some of you " oldsters " might remember me. :-) (HI, ETHEL and CHRIS!) After years of feeling pretty decent, I am suddenly in what seems to be a flare up from hell (RA). I am currently on flagyl for a post-surgery uterine infection. I hadn't put the two things together in my mind. Is flagyl an antibiotic normally used for rheumatic diseases? I don't recall seeing it mentioned. I am horribly swollen from my fat toes to my hips. I am 42, have had RA since 1997, and was nearly in remission by 2000 (with Dr. Franco's help). I think I was so thrilled with having my life back that I got lazy and dropped the ball. It started coming back on me. I also have very brittle juvenile diabetes and, I'm starting to suspect, celiac disease. Oh yes--and two big dogs, two big teenage boys, two 80-year-old parents with dementia, a very stressful and demanding job (MORE than full-time), and a very active boyfriend that would love it if his woman was in better shape. I'm not taking my minocin at the moment, as I await the new prescription from Canada. I wasn't sure if I've been feeling so bad because I am OFF the minocin or because I ADDED the flagyl. The surgeon also has me on cipro and nystatin. Words of wisdom, anyone? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
