He's 60 now and has already had a stroke and a heart attack that almost killed him.

    If Chicken Pox is complicated with other common illnesses and diseases, it can be deadly, dangerous, and disfiguring!
    I've mentioned HERE before (and of course was challenged by the board assholes) that I got measles as a kid, then pneumonia. Spent 30 days in 2 hospitals, being shipped off to a large AirForce hospital out in CA, where it was discussed whether to remove 1/2 of my lung. Those 2ndary 'diseases' will kill yah!

    So I would NOT go looking for CHICKENPOX if I were any parent or a GOVERNOR. But that's just me.

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    OK, I'm digging deeper.

    First here's that list again:
    Although there are well over 100 antibiotics, the majority come from only a few types of drugs. These are the main classes of antibiotics.

    Penicillins such as penicillin and amoxicillin
    Cephalosporins such as cephalexin (Keflex)
    Macrolides such as erythromycin (E-Mycin), clarithromycin (Biaxin), and azithromycin (Zithromax)
    Fluoroquinolones such as ciprofolxacin (Cipro), levofloxacin (Levaquin), and ofloxacin (Floxin)
    Sulfonamides such as co-trimoxazole (Bactrim) and trimethoprim (Proloprim)
    Tetracyclines such as tetracycline (Sumycin, Panmycin) and doxycycline (Vibramycin)
    Aminoglycosides such as gentamicin (Garamycin) and tobramycin (Tobrex)

    Reaction to neomycin means no shingles vaccine
    By Dr. Keith Roach , Herald-Tribune
    / Friday, July 11, 2014

    DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 61 years old, and was anxious to get a shingles vaccine shot. I was upset to learn that, because I am allergic to neomycin, an ingredient in the vaccine, I cannot get vaccinated. I have talked to my doctor and also to a pharmacist about other options, but they don't know of any. Do you know of other options I could use to protect myself against shingles? -- B.G.P.

    ANSWER: If it's a severe (the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says "life-threatening") reaction to neomycin, then you cannot get the vaccine. There is no other way to reliably prevent getting shingles. Keeping your immune system healthy (good diet, regular exercise, good sleep) may help. However, the most important thing for you and others who haven't been vaccinated will be to recognize shingles early and get treated immediately. Being treated early, preferably within 24 hours of the rash, can reduce the duration of symptoms.

    Shingles usually starts with pain, burning or itching on one side of the body in a particular location, called a dermatome. This might be a band around the torso, the top of the arm or part of the face. The classic description of the rash is a clear, fluid-filled blister on reddened skin ("dewdrop on a rose petal"), but it does not always look so classic. See your doctor immediately after any painful rash shows up in a single area of the body.

    *********************

    Next I looked up neomycins to see what class they fall in. I found:
    Neomycin is an antibiotic that's used to prevent or treat bacterial infections. It belongs to a class of antibiotics called aminoglycosides, which work by stopping the production of proteins that bacteria need to survive.

    *********************

    Looking back up to our list:
    Aminoglycosides such as gentamicin (Garamycin) and tobramycin (Tobrex)

    ******************************

    So, I'm bringing this with me to my Doc at my next visit in July.
    I want to know if a person has had bad reactions to the Macrolides group (which includes Z-Pak) or the Tetracycline group would automatically react badly to those mycins found in the Aminoglycosides group.

    No problem. I think it's a legit question for both of us to ask our Docs. For instance I've always requested Cipro and/or Amoxicillin when a mycin was needed and never had problems with those. My big reactions came with the Tetracyline and a Z-Pak.
    Who knows, maybe the Neomycin from the Aminoglycosides group might agree with me. I'll let you know what my Doc says. And, please let me know what yours says? Thanks!

    Define bad reactions to macrolides and tetracycline?

    The simple answer is that there isn’t a simple answer.

    There isn’t cross reactivity between macrolides, tetracyclines and aminoycosides so that isn’t a concern. But that in and of itself doesn’t mean you won’t be allergic to neomycin.

    The key is knowing the severity of the allergy

    Yeah. Like I said. I'll be bringing this up with my Doc.
