Your stomachache is probably from the Biaxin. It totally tears up my stomach when I have to take it. I like Levaquin or Ceftin better. They don't bother my stomach so much. Biaxin is very good for getting rid of infections, but it can be very harsh on the stomach. I see my allergist about once a month (give or take a week) because aside from allergy shots (which I take at home every week), he is trying other treatments with me to help get rid of the yeast in my body and he is trying to figure out if I have any other sort of medical problems other than allergies. The main reason that I see him is to discuss and make changes in the shots and other medications. Since I don't take the shots in the office, I just call him if I have a reaction. When I see him, we discuss everything. You on the other hand would have to take the shots in the office. I have been doing it for so long that we know I am not going to have any kind of bad reaction for which I would need immediate medical attention. Also, my allergist helps me with other health problems as well. Not only do I discuss my allergies with him, but I also discuss any other illnesses that I have, because it is his theory that somewhere down the line they are all related. He is just an excellent diagnostician. He knows about EVERYTHING! His mind is like an encyclopedia! He treats me for environmental allergies, food allergies, yeast problems, and any of the sedondary diseases that might go along with these problems. So basically, when I see him, we discuss my allergy shots and medications, as well as everything else under the sun... :)
