1st Day of Tindamax (Tinidazole)


I began my pulse of 500 mg. of Tindamax twice daily for 3 weeks. No other antibiotics with this drug for the next 3 weeks. I have had a headache which began this afternoon and is still with me tonight. Wondering if I am already beginning a herx or if this is just a "normal" headache.

A couple of days ago, I began having sharp pains and burning in my chest area which is worse when I am hungry and during and after eating as well. I am thinking that all the medications are starting to wreak havoc on my esophagus and stomach. I found my bottle of Protonix (Pantoprazole) and took the last pill. I will have to call and ask for a re-fill to help with acid reflux. I just pray that is ALL that is going on and not something worse like an ulcer of gallbladder problems.

I have felt so good the past 3 or 4 days that I am really dreading another herx! I have big plans for tomorrow and the next month as I am buying a horse and will be having training classes. I want so badly to feel good and be able to enjoy this fun time and not spend it in bed! PRAYING for good times!
