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.......

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))
