H PYLORI VIRUS

[Tipsynoodle 2]

so as some of u remember, in the blood test i came up positive for hpylori (stomach lining virus) and was put on a 2 weeks HELIDAC Therapy........Im 1 week into the treatment and last night I had a gran mal seizure at home...hubby was scared and called the ambulance.....i spent the night in icu and now im on a regular floor being taken care of...had several tests and the docs told me today that the meds i was taking (helidac ) may have caused the seizure.......now im off the meds and my sleeve surgery is prolly being cancelled ...( 26th july) what a bummer.........P.S I have never had seizurs before in my life.......

Wow, that's so scary!!

I'm glad you are ok now.

I had H. Pylori too, and I was prescribed a PrevPack for it. It was basically Prevacid plus 2 antibiotics (amoxycillin and clarithromyacin). Some annoying side effects (yeast infection, sorry if that's TMI) but nothing dangerous!

I hope your surgery isn't cancelled...because I know you are probably like the rest of us and so anxious to get it behind you! Keep us updated! I will be thinking about you and sending you lots of healing positive vibes! ((hugs))
