Hi, about a week ago I started with a small cough and a nose that runs 24/7. The doctor gave me Clarithromycin. At the present I am on Oriencia and MTX. , any way has. anybody experienced that taking that drug is starting to make my joints start to hurt. I have been lucky with drug as far as getting rid of the pain, but now this antibiotic seems to be bring all thee pain. I am writing this as I have an ice pack on my Jaw and neck
Did you go off your meds? If so that is probably why you hurt
No, I am still on my meds. It just seems that every time I have to take that drug my joints starting hurting and I was wondering if it was just that antibiotic or do other ones do the same thing.
I think it's possible. Whenever my mother had to take antibiotics, they would leave her weak and tired. So one causing muscle aches is not far fetched.
Hi Jo, I too couldnt take clarithromycin and became really ill when I took it alongside my Orencia. I was in hospital, admitted with pneumonia and becane very sick, diarrhoea, low bp, passing out and very dizzy and nauseous. I wonder if it just reacts with Orencia?
Hi Treezsh, are you still on Oriencia? I have had bronchitis twice in 8 months and a month or so I developed psoriasis. Wondering if I should think about another medication.
