Steven - Johnson Syndrome

by MAC12142, May 19, 2008 09:02AM
I almost died from a drug allergy to Tegetol causing this syndrome. I am in need of anti inflamatory drugs but seem to be allergic to steroidal and non steroidal ones. What can I take for joint pain?

Hi,

What drugs are you allergic to specifically.

You should consult your doctor about this, and it would be advisable to take a dose under observation of a medical personnel.

Have you tried tramadol, piroxicam, etaracoxib, ketotifen, etc?

Let us know about what your doctor advises.

Regards

I have not heard of those drugs. The doctor is mostly concerned about steroids but I have had an allergic reaction to Tegretol, Clinoril, Dicloxacillin, Penicillian family, Valproic Acid, and Prednesone. My doctor knows all about this in fact he diagnosed the Stevens-Johnson when no one else realized why I was so sick.
Right now they are trying Naproxen for spinal and sacariliac problem. Constipation being a concern.(Lost a third of colon with the Stevens-Johnson). The Orthopedic says I had a severe trama to the back, but I can't remember any.
I will take your suggestios to the doctor for his opinion and thank you.
