joint pain after serum sickness

[cclander]

I have been to many doctors and specialists with no luck.  I had serum sickness diagnosed june 28.  Rash joint pain nausea after teatment of bactrum for uti,  Went on prednisone 90mg for 67 days finally off them still have all the other symptoms except rash and still no diagnosis.  Ever have this before? Was on ultram 50mg Ibuprofin 600mg Still on oxycodone10 mg and these were all every 6 hours continually.  What should I do now.. All the blood tests come back negative or normal except liver functions Due to percocet use in the beginning they said and sed rate is still high.  Please offer some solution if you have one thanks

Hi I am a 21year old female. I had UTI about 3 weeks ago. I took an antibiotic called Septra.  Although since I've been on the birth control pill I've been prone to yeast infections that come right before my period and then usually go away when I start bleeding. Since they are incredibly annoying especially to my bf, I knew an antibiotic like septra would probably send me over the edge so I only used probably 3-4 days worth of dosage instead of the required 7...I know I should have taken them all...so I thought. A week to 2 weeks later, I start getting hot flashes and chills, with this weird pain in my stomach that was kind of dull and nauseating along with lower and upper back pain and neck pain. After that subsided I started feeling this red irritation in my throat that comes and goes it seems and tired leg/arm muscles (has been going on for 6 days now). Not tired enough to hinder my work performance or anything just a weird feeling that a normal person would get after walking 5 flights of stairs whereas for me I have this feeling regularly without any exercise. Also, my skin is very itchy for some reason all over. No rash or bumps. Except for 2 on my neck but that could just be from scratching. Off and on I got bouts of my eye turning red first my left then my right twice. Thought it was just my contacts but it has never happened before. Really doesn't seem like a flu to me as the doctor at the clinic thought. I am making another apt but was wondering if anyone sees this as a possible reaction ot the Septra? I have read about Serum Sickness, sounds extremely similar to what I am experiencing and I know it is somewhat common with this medication but moreso with penecillin (which I'm allergic to).  I have also been reading about thyroid problems so I'll get that checked too although I am not overwight by anymeans nor do I have a family history of it but who knows. Any insight would be much appreciated, thanks!

Hi, I am the mother of a 12 boy who developed serum sickness after taking tetracycline for 2 weeks, the rash and hives were severe, he was hospitalized for 3 days, his blood pressure dropped and he was in shock, they had to give him 6 bolus fluids by IV and he also had what they call 3rd spacing, soon as he was released from the hospital he developed chest pain and SOB, wheezing and severe joint pain, over the last few days the chest pain has left, the SOB has gotten better, but still there, however the joint pain has continued to get worse, as a mother I am not sure what to do or how to help him, but to see and 12 year old child not be able to walk with out tears in his eyes is heart breaking.
