Confused Olhipie...UTI...gonna drive me crazy!!
Sorry so long but needed to be...In July my honey had a major exasperation and the doc set him up on Solu-Medrol for three days...everything went great and he was back to his usual self in no time...

The doc chose to keep him on the three dose of SM every month...however I think its to much....but what do I know...I'm just his Caregiver!

Well, since then he has gone in every month for his three doses. For a very long time he was on the one dose a month and we chose to go off of it because he only got sick and then well right before the next dose....Grrrr!
Anywaze...last month about three days after his doses he started to get very sick to his stomach...very loose...with no control of bowels...fever high...low blood pressure...high pulse....At first I thought it was the flu...nope a UTI almost Septic!

Four years ago he nearly died because of a UTI that went Septic.

They did treat the infection by mouth and injection and was well very quickly...
Well, last week he had his dose of Solu-Medrol for the month and today he started all over again with the same symptoms as last month! Called all of his doc's and took urine in to the Urologist and he gave me a few days of Cipro 500mg.

Crazy...he can't even remember what happened last month...however I do have a caregiver journal I keep track of everything...so I read it to him this morning. He keeps wanting to get up but when he sits up he feels sick to his stomach again and I get him back in bed again. Its not like him not to get dressed everyday so this drives him nuts!

I hope that the Cipro works well and that you both get a breather from the mess.

I don't know if solu medrol causes UTIs, but I do know that it can cause a UTI to rage..
I had an awful time trying to cure one after Solu Medro steroid infusions and the the oral after.

Too much steroids is not a good thing IMHO!!

Tell OLHipie we are praying for him to recover soon and for you too..

(((Tamiloo & Craig)))
Gosh...It seems painfully obvious the solumedrol is having a negative effect on his health. Considering the previous UTI problem (along with everything else), why can't they back off on the roids? I'm no doctor, but seems like when a med is making life miserable for someone, or causing other possibly dangerous problems, not taking that med might be called for?

My thoughts, my heart, is with you both!
