Clarithromycin
I just joined a University of Rochester; Strong Memorial Hospital Studay on the use of this drug to treat nasal polyps (spelling?). My comment is that I welcome anyone who is interested in messaging on their experiences taking this drug for this reason. I have been diagnosed with Chronic Sinus Itus and Nasal Polyps and will be visiting her now and then to report my progress. 1 dose daily for 4 months. We will see...

Suicidality.
Anxiety can be quite scary and maybe medication could be a solution, but I find the ease with which doctors write prescriptions about rather disturbing. Nowadays anxiety is a very common, and can be worked through. Medication can hel to quit the symptoms but it really doesn't solve your problems that are causing to tou that, sometimes it's best to solve this things for yourself. I personally used a program at www.selftherapy.org which I though was pretty good. Perhaps your solution lies elsewhere. Good look!

Side EFX of diclofenac
Has anyone used discofenac Sodium Ec (Voltarol)and suffered diarrhea.

I used to be on the Atkins diet and came off it around the same time I started using Voltarol for Heal Spur.

I put the diarrhea down to a change of diet,now ten months later I have to be really careful what I eat.

Anyone else used this product with similar side effects ? And can anyone recommend a sustitute.

Without these tablets my feet are really painful.

I am seeing my Doctor in a couple of weeks but I would appreciate some info before then.

Thanks, Steve

Mupirocin (Bactroban) & sinus infection
Anyone know if Mupirocin 2% in a Polyethylene glycol(PEG) suspension is unwise to liquify with buffered saline & aerosolize for use with a possible sinus infection? It seems to help, as PEG is used as a nasal moisturizer (Rhinaris) & MRSA responds well to mupirocin. They don't sell it that way, though. The problem is Vaso-Motor Rhinitis (VMR) with sinus infection (i think) , my allergist is charging me out the nose, so to speak. Out of Plan, cramming everything but the kitchen sink up my nose for relief.

Nausea!
I have Crohn's disease, and was recently put on Sulfasalazine to replace the Pentasa that I could not afford (love our health care system). I have been having numerous problems with the side effects of this medication, the worst being almost constant nausea. My doctor cut my dose in half, but it really hasn't helped that much. Wondering if anyone else has been on this, and found a solution to the nausea. Ginger ale just isn't cutting it. Any info or personal experience would be helpful.
