Help! So I have myself a bullseye rash from a deer tick bite on my back. I went so far as to take a picture of the rash in case it goes away. Got the tick out, but one of its teeth remain. I am going to the doctor today (which should be great fun, because I still have not found a new primary care dr who will take my insurance, and the last time I talked to this one I screamed at him) I am allergic to penicillin, amoxicillin, bactrim, and 1 other antibiotic that I can't remember the name of, have had bad reactions to avelox and another drug in the same class as that.
I started last night looking into cumanda and samento, as they were 2 possible treatments my specialist had earlier suggested ( I have had a few lyme tests that were inconclusive or had 1 band that was positive, I was actually about to get retested, I'll dig them out if anyone wants more info)
But all the info I can find about these herbs circles back to the company manufacturing and selling them...so that's not a great source in my book at all.
I am really open to being pointed in the right direction and open to advice about what to do or not do.
I fully expect to be given an antibiotic, have a bad reaction or allergy to it, have to be watched by other people, and then to have this doctor tell me there is nothing wrong, I am crazy, take more of whatever drug it is.
I have a history of very bad reactions to a lot of drugs. I had to take avelox for a sinus infection like 3 months ago, got so dizzy I couldn't stand, really bad heart palpitations, overwhelming nausea and all of my food opted to exit my body at once. So I called my doctor to tell him this and he cut me off after I listed like one side effect, laughed at me and told me I was imagining it. Hence the screaming at him...which did result in me being given an antibiotic I could handle. Prior to this I had an allergic reaction to bactrim last summer,(after getting an ear infection from HIS dirty office) my throat closed up, I had to be babysat my my grandmother and aunt to make sure I was still breathing, and I called him and he told me to take another one and see what happened. I am sooooooo done with this doctor. I've literally called about 12 other offices and they are all up to their "quota" for medicaid patients...its starting to seem like it's this guy or a nonprofit clinic. I am very backed into a corner right now.
Ok I just got off the phone with a nurse at the specialists office and they said to make sure to call and run whatever the primary gives me by them first to make sure it's safe. But seriously, any suggestions or info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
