Whipple`s Disease

Posted By L.G. on April 25, 1998 at 05:26:58:







Whipples Disease was diagnosed upon PCR reaction in two small
bowl specimens and in liquid from the knee about a year ago.
At this time I had nousea, muscle trembling and maladsorption
and diarrhea. Since then I eat Baktrim forte (1-0-1) per day.
Diarrhea persits since then as I react allergic on the Baktrim(?).
I try to slow down with 1/2 XANAX per day which allows to get
some sleep at night.
Is there a methode to monitore whipple`s disease during Baktrim
treatment?
Is my diarrhea caused by the baktrim or by the primary illness?
Are there alternatives to Baktrim?
Thanks for your help.
Sincerely
L. G.
