Yeah I found out over this past summer that I am apparently extremely allergic to sulfa drugs (had anaphylaxis with bactrim). So that's one class of medicines out for me! XD
A severe streptococcal infection is nothing to sniff at. In 1970 when I was in the seventh grade, I picked up a strep infection at school, and became so ill that I could not eat because the strep infection had made sores all over the inside of my mouth. I had a raging fever, and in less than seven days I lost 10 pounds… And I was already a skinny little kid. My mother took me to a local clinic where over three day. I received multiple 500 mg injections of penicillin, and they really hurt. Sort of like having liquefied chalk injected into your ass. That antibiotic treatment literally saved my life. Strep infections are really terrifying. This guy is lucky He survived.
my mother was a nurse during WWII in my father was a soldier. I was born in 1953 after two brothers and a sister. we had sulphur drug for many uses in our home. they were no mystery to us. Cincinnati Ohio
Yaaa after my brother died my whole fam got strep, know what i got? Not streptococcus, meningococcal virus :) love the life long crippling handycaps that that brings. I was 16 but just being healthy ahead of time (great cardio and soccer all the time) kept me alive and kicking lol but not soccer balls anymore. I frequently pass out over the stupidest crap. Cant even have rough sex without it being potentially dangerous. Cant dive more than 6ft deep. Take care of your MENTAL and physcal health cause they effect eachother for sure. And stay away from sick people if you are grieving a dead sibling.
Sulfa put me in the ICU for 10 days. It took nine shots of epi in the first 2½hrs just to keep me breathing--all of the doctors said they had never seen anything like it. One of the ER docs called their roommate from med school to ask if they had any ideas. I also kept infiltrating my IV lines, so I had to get a new IV 3-4× a day for the first few days, until they found a way to dilute my meds by simultaneously flushing my line while administering them; I was running out of usable veins and we had to baby whatever I had left. I have a pretty rare connective tissue disorder (not Ehlers-Danlos) and it makes my veins really fragile. They brought in this one specialist who said what I had wasn't hives, but a "drug rash" from my body attacking the medication in my tissues; by this point my skin was literally this ❤ color of red on my throat. That doc said I was super lucky, because if I'd been on a slightly higher dose my immune system would have attacked so hard I could have sloughed all the skin from my body. That is typically fatal....or at least was when this all happened 20yrs ago. They made my ex go home and wipe every single surface down before they released me; my doctors said that no one who I live with can ever take sulfa. My whole family has it in their medical charts. What is SUPER weird is that I had taken sulfa at least 7 or 8 times before I had this reaction.
Just so we are clear. Americas for profit healthcare system, is responsible for HALF of all drug patents. And the top medical tech used around the world, almost all comes from America. And almost 1/4 of our doctors were trained and come to America to work. Almost like it’s not worth being a doctor in other countries. It’s also why almost 1% of all air travel to America, is for medical care. And that’s before we even start to discuss our medical schools, where HALF of the top medical schools in the world, are in America. Which should explain why we also boast some of the best hospitals in the world, along with ground breaking medicine. Maybe other countries should take some hints from us. Then they wouldn’t have to rely on us so much.
I don't know which of the sulfa drugs that I was prescribed, but I just took like 1 capsule and my joints ached for about 8 hours. I was kind of jogging through the house back and forth and anytime I stopped it was start hurting so bad so I had to keep moving. Then I had to use the bathroom and I was squirming on the toilet because I couldn't sit still it hurt.
@@malbert7793 Sulfa drugs are common for ear and sinus infections so it does get prescribed in the mainstream today. Probably not as often as it used to.
Actually no, we are not bots. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to worry about anaphylaxis after taking a medication I don’t know the ingredients of. This causes so many problems for some people that you are scared and must make certain everyone knows it - just like you would if anyone were allergic to another type of drug - penicillin. Those folks aren’t bots either.
Pity it didn't help all the people in Europe dying of TB -which nearly included my mother, who (miraculously) survived without any medication or the benefit of an alpine sanatorium...
I am so sorry for your loss - I really think when these sulfa drugs were created, these companies thought “part of human makeup, so that can’t be bad at all” - except it is for those of us allergic to it. I really think no forethought was given to that possibility. So many people can’t take it at all. It just seems that hypoallergenic drugs should have been the first ones created to start with. @markjenema8329 - that had to have been one of the most horrific experience for your uncle to go through and your family to grieve through. I am so sorry that happened at all. 😢😭

My father ruptured his appendix in 1938 when he was 10 and sulfa drugs saved his life.
I'm allergic to sulfa drugs. They also cause severe psychosis. I'm glad they work for others.

My father was allergic and so am I. No idea if any more of his descendants are but they always mention it to doctors.

Imagine that just being any other kid? “Yeah uh sorry they ain’t gonna make it.”
It beats potentially getting Rheumatic Fever and later heart issues!
Finally a good celebrity endorsement
Nothing has really changed it's only the important people that get to benefit from advanced medicine

I breakout w/ a rash - but it is cheap & worked well for years until red spots popped up
Allergic. I took one dose and vomited stuff I had eaten for years prior
Same
Many, incl myself, are allergic to Sulfa drugs.
Wouldn’t it be crazy if your country focused on health rather than profits in the medical industry 😮😊

Saved my mother, too, but too late to keep her from getting rheumatic heart disease.
Calvin Coolidge Jr. developed sepsis from a water blister. He received sulfa drugs but died.
Ouch 😲
My mom was allergic to penicillin, she got sulfa.
And its the only thing im deathly allergic to.
Same here

Why is sulfa allergy so damn common. Every video about it i literally see the comments filled with people saying they're allergic to it?? 😅
Cause their all bots how the hell can they all be allergic when we haven’t used the drug main stream in 70 years

Sulfa drugs are the automatic drugs of choice in Every ER in the USA - Unfortunately
Very cool story, thank you

Allergic, I had a great uncle who used it in eye drops. his eye socket swelled so much it put pressure on his brain and had a seizure and DIED.

And use in WW2 is the rest of the story. Sulfa drugs the white powdery drug medics sprinkle on wounds during battle in the movies.
yeah sure *wink* thats what the white powder is if anyone asks
The personal bandages that soldiers carry today have sulfa drugs on them.
Eyes above ears - something to fear
That’s cool. I love facts like this.
How interesting!!
FDR's children didn't all fair so well, there's a lot of pressure being the Presidents son/daughter.
I like your content,
I still prefer Bactim when I can grr E t it. Good stuff baby!
I'm allergic to these ..
I’m allergic to sulfa
❤
And now we’re all allergic
And then sulfas were used on his father later in the war.
👍
He was also wildly corrupt, like when he gave out airplane contracts to whoever wined and dines hime the best.
Sounds pretty tame considering the ilk on capitol hill
Aah finally discovering how it actually works.
Later used for syphilis.
Did he ever catch chlamydia?
Many are allergic.
Drugs
Didn't he blow up Joe Kennedy Jr?
The irony
His father who screwed us up had VD
I'm highly allergic to sulfa now I know what family Basu for bringing it here
The son of a despotic dictator
