Thanks to you both for posting, it's appreciated!
LOL...I know about boils...However mine were abscesses in the ummm(anal) area.....NO FUN...
After it coming and going it finally turned into a full blow fistula...NO FUN..
Long story short...had all kinds of antibotics..nothing bothered me in relations to thyroid..Weather I was hyper or hypo at the time of with the antiboitics. The ordeal lasted a good 3yrs of this...
But no side effects...But everyone is different.
Thanks Barb. I have always dealt with them myself as well- thanks for your thoughts, I wanted to hear from my thyroid folks in addition to the pharmacist, doctor etc. My new doctor, who is too far away for an office call, just now called me back and told me not to take them. I was just a little concerned about my artificial hip, but I think it would have bothered it before it burst, and it's resolving now. I really went to emergency room to be sure it wasn't one of those weird sinus things. It's on the crease of my leg, at the panty line---such fun!
Again, just wanted to hear from the board on the off chance someone had problems with the Bactrim. Thanks again!
Where was the boil? I've had doozies that leave huge craters...... have never gone to the doctor with them, though.
I've taken both Bactrim and Cipro since being hypo and haven't had any ill effects. I've had tinnitus for years and expect that it is permanent, but doubt it's related to either the Bactrim or Cipro.
Because we're all different, you'll have to rely on your doctor. What's okay for me, might not be okay for you. Do you have a primary care doctor or endo that you can talk to about this?
