My doctor has had me taking prophylactic septrin for the last two months or so (between the rituximab and azathioprine my immune system is a bit stuffed). I know some lupus patients react to it, but I've taken it on many occasions before without any problems. I suddenly realised today that my recent symptoms possibly match with the length of time I've been taking it - muscle pain, sore throat, generally feeling rubbish (it's also affected my sense of taste, I know septrin is the culprit for that though). I don't have any kind of rash though, which I understand is the normal allergic reaction.
Any thoughts would be appreciated! I've got another two weeks before I see the doctor.
