so as some of u remember, in the blood test i came up positive for hpylori (stomach lining virus) and was put on a 2 weeks HELIDAC Therapy........Im 1 week into the treatment and last night I had a gran mal seizure at home...hubby was scared and called the ambulance.....i spent the night in icu and now im on a regular floor being taken care of...had several tests and the docs told me today that the meds i was taking (helidac ) may have caused the seizure.......now im off the meds and my sleeve surgery is prolly being cancelled ...( 26th july) what a bummer.........P.S I have never had seizurs before in my life.......

How scary!! I'm sorry about your sleeve being cancelled, is there a diff treatment?

Ah sweetie I am so sorry I hope you gett better real soon Sending positive vibes and hugs your way.

i hope there is lol......i just have to get something non flago whatever that is....cause it caused my seizure

Wow, that's so scary!!

I'm glad you are ok now.

I had H. Pylori too, and I was prescribed a PrevPack for it. It was basically Prevacid plus 2 antibiotics (amoxycillin and clarithromyacin). Some annoying side effects (yeast infection, sorry if that's TMI) but nothing dangerous!

OMG!!!! That must have been so scary! I'm so sorry all this has happened to you! I hope your surgery isn't cancelled...because I know you are probably like the rest of us and so anxious to get it behind you! Keep us updated! I will be thinking about you and sending you lots of healing positive vibes! ((hugs))

Got released from hospital today........on seizure meds now....have to get clearance from my doctor to get surgery....not sure if i still have the hpylori or not lol.......may have to get tested again.....

Sweetie will keep you in my prayers....
