ALL KINDS of PROBLEMS

I've taken Bactrim DS on several occasions through the years for urinary tract infections. Then I had a urinary tract infection and a sinus infection at the same time. My doctor told me that the drug would take care of both infections, which it did. Two weeks ago I discovered that I had another sinus infection. I asked my doctor to prescribe Bactrim DS, which she did. Three days into taking it I woke up with fever, swollen and aching joints, a stiff neck, a backache and a headache like you wouldn't believe. I immediately looked up side effects of the drug. Sure enough, they were all there. I called my doctor and she said it was a good thing I had the sense enough to call her because I might have been in "serious trouble". She said I'm suddenly allergic to it and she's only seen those side effects in one other person in over 20 years of practice.
