amoxicillin

hello 'all' - I have started amox. today - 2000mg. - I spoke to my LLMD. this morning as I have been feeling really bad all week-end - he advised me to start abx. [again ]

seperate to this - I have been getting a burning sensation in my mouth - I guess it is acid - just wondered if anyone else here gets a 'burning mouth' .

my muscle pain has been bad - my neck/shoulders feel really tight - also been getting random stabbing pains all over - esp. in my arms - had an episode of 'all over itching' last night - even in my eyes!! - wierd - like my eyeballs were itchy!! - has anyone else had this?

well - I will stop complaining - for now anyway!!

take care 'everyone' - gorbs x

I noticed the itching before I started the abx. - it moves around - like having little bugs on the skin!!  [I do shower regularly - honest !! ]

I still have slight burning in my mouth today - also some wierd tastes - sour - is the best way to describe it [I clean my teeth twice a day ! ]

also very bloated again - like 5 months pregnant ! [that is definately not the cause ] - despite losing some wieght recently - I feel bigger than ever - like I have swollen - up - could be fluid retention I guess - or could it be inflammation ?

No burning in mouth but plenty of burning in other areas of my body.  Reflux acid would typically be in the throat and esophagus but not likely in the mouth.

All over itching could be an allergic reaction so I would let your doctor know.

I just started my amoxicillin so I can't say anything about all symptoms yet. I do know that the LLMD prescribed me Kapidex and it may one of the reasons I am not having heartburn. Usually these medicines give me bad gastric problems, but so far it's been not great, but not painful either. You may want to ask if you can get Kapidex.
