Reason: Fungal infection on my back Date: 3 October 2005
Side Effects
The medicine did clear up the infection on my back, which had persisted for 12-years (since the 9th month of pregnancy). Had gone to many derm docs and spent thousands of dollars on creams, soaps, and other meds. No one ever suggested a cure from the inside out until Sporanox. Took pulse over 14-days in late June with minimal side effects. Started with a 7-day pulse in mid-September that cleared up the infection and almost wiped me out. I ended up in the hospital due to elevated blood pressure, irregular heart beats, tingling sensations in all extremeties, rash on both legs, and disorientation. Extremely frightening! In addition, I experienced terrible headaches for which I took an Excedrin. The two drugs did not work well together, which caused my blood pressure to elevate even higher. The drug cured my infection, but almost took my life. I think I would rather live with the infection and discomfort of itching. I still have three weeks before the stuff is out of my system.
