Miley Cyrus is having a very bad month. She’s still in mourning after losing her favorite dog, and she’s had to deal with her mom’s bad decision making in the aftermath. The grieving process is not kind to the immune system. Neither is the touring lifestyle. Miley’s been discussing a lingering cold/flu situation on her Twitter page for days. She had to cancel her North Carolina date last week but pushed onward. Now she’s been admitted to the hospital after having a major allergic reaction to antibiotics:
Miley Cyrus is in the hospital … after a sudden and apparently severe allergic reaction to medicine.
Miley was in Kansas City for a concert Tuesday night on her Bangerz tour. It appears Miley was at the arena — the Sprint Center — when she fell ill. We’re told she had a bad reaction to antibiotics.
Doctors ordered her on bed rest immediately.
Here’s what’s interesting … A TMZ employee happens to be in Kansas City and just texted us an hour ago telling us Miley was out shopping with her mom … so it seems whatever reaction she had was sudden.
The concert has been cancelled. She also cancelled her concert last Monday in Charlotte due to the flu.

This is very serious. I don’t know what type of meds Miley was on, but people have died after bad reactions to penicillin and other antibiotics. I doubt Miley had the flu if docs gave her antibiotics, but it was some sort of infection. Miley’s been tweeting this morning from her hospital bed. Not only did she have to cancel Kansas City, but she won’t be released for her St. Louis concert either.
the hospital is sayin i wont b released today/ therefore Im not going 2 make it 2 St Louis. Im so sorry but somethings are outta my control.
— Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) April 16, 2014
Hopefully Miley won’t be detained too long in hospital. Her concerts have been doing surprisingly well. Everyone thought the tour would flop, but word of mouth has prompted a surge in ticket sales. Strange, I know. She’s even growing on me.

Sulfa drugs give me hives–once, so bad I had to go to the ER. Whatever reaction she had obviously was worse than that, and I hope she recovers soon.
I’m not a fan of a lot of Miley’s antics, but somehow I can’t help liking her.
Omg, I am so allergic to sulfa drugs. I was given them once, and after I took the first dose when I got home I was deathly ill. I didn’t get hives, but I literally was flushed red all over my body, extremely hot and dizzy, and vomited like crazy. Lasted about 24 hours or so until it was out of my system.
Allergic to penicillin here…rashes, fever, nausea, etc. she just needs to rest for a good week so she won’t start a cycle.
I’m allergic to BOTH penicillin and sulfa. The one time I took the latter I broke out in red dots which became large splotches in a matter of hours. It is NOT FUN. Miley, for once, has my complete sympathy.
xvala, Me, too! You’re the only other person I’ve ever heard of with those same allergies.
Oh my god. I’ve been spelling it sulphur my entire life. On all my records. How embarrassing. Who knew I would learn to correctly spell my allergy on a celeb gossip site.
My mom works in a hospital, Franny, and I can assure you that everybody who looked at your chart knew what you meant. ;D No biggie, it’s a really common mistake.
Fanny days – don’t worry, you are spelling it correctly. The UK english way to spell it is sulphur, so technically this is correct. The US english spelling is sulfur. The ‘sulfa’ is technically incorrect and relates to the chemical moitey name for the molecule structure, so when used out of context (i.e. When referring to ‘sulfa’ drugs rather than a sulfa moitey) it is technically incorrect. Having said that, any one of the above options is fine in terms of medical staff understanding what you mean.
Yeah–it’s correct either way. When I was younger, I used to read a lot of British classics, so for a while I would spell a lot of things the British way–like ‘colour/color’….
Glad she’s okay and I hope she makes a smooth recovery. It’s funny how much more likeable she is to me now that she’s just focusing on touring.
Better excuse than “Exhaustion” I guess.
Yeah, right？i wonde if it was indeed a drug problem. Whatevs I hope she’ll recover soon. Like most of you have said, even though she act like an idiot I still like her.
I’ve thought the same thing.
Antibiotic allergy is a very serious condition. It can lead to death according to the dosage and severity of the reaction. In a similar vein, allergies to painkillers are also very serious. I’m severely allergic to asprin in any form and have to disclose that to doctors if they need to prescribe painkillers. If Miley’s allergy is true, then it isn’t an excuse.
Agreed. I literally almost died when given penicillin as a child, and am allergic to aspirin as well. Also tri-cyclic based drugs. It’s not fun, especially since most doctors don’t bother to check to see what they’re giving me. Pharmacists have saved me many a time.
Cold and flu are virus driven (not bacteria) so if she was given antibiotics, it wasn’t for that.
Possibly she developed a bacterial infection – sinus or bronchial – after her immune system was weakened by flu. I’ve had that happen a number of times after a bad flu bug and had to have antibiotics to knock out the infection.
Very true, Jaded. Many times, viral cold or flu can lead to bacterial infections. I’ve seen people get ear infections from a cold.
I’m sure there are doctors to celebrities who easily cave under pressure to give meds that just aren’t indicated. Witness, fer ‘nstance, Michael Jackson’s physician. But if your patient’s manager, her parents, etc. are saying “the show must go on”, what you think is viral might morph into “sinusitis”, etc. Plus worrying about the liability of missing something in a high profile patient.
So, where are the hives, the rash or the lip swelling in her hospital picture? I see red eyes.
Maybe they were holding her for delayed reactions, but most people get sent home from ER if they are stable….
Why do I not believe the “allergic reaction” excuse????
I totally believe it. It happened to me.
I believe it, it happened to me as well. I almost died after taking penicillin.
Same. I can’t take most antibiotics because I had a sudden, scary reaction when I was a kid.
I believe it. If one of my friends had not been in the hospital and a nurse happened to walk by when the reaction hit she would have been dead. They had her on IV antibiotics for a leg infection, and were on the second bag. It can be very fast, unexpected and deadly.
For anyone else I totally believe it, but for Miley, I have to wonder.
Never had a scary reaction, just all my body covered with tiny pustules like whiteheads… but when I casually mentioned it to my doctor when getting a script, he flipped when he heard it always happened (as in, had the last 3 times) and told me I must never take penicillin again. Ever since, they put a red wristband on me if I’m admitted to hospital, stating I’m allergic. It’s all over my notes that I must never have any. I asked my family doc just last week if it wasn’t an over-reaction, given these pretty trivial reactions originally happened 20 years ago now, and she said no, penicillin allergies are really serious. They kill people. A rash like mine is an early warning signal, and as such I was lucky to get it. Some people’s first response is anaphylactic shock.
It doesn’t affect my life one bit – plenty of non-penicillin antibiotics available – but if she has such an allergy, I can see why they took her in.
The most dangerous thing about a penicillin/antibioitc allergy is that the reaction just gets worse~one time, you might have a mild reaction barely worth noticing and the next time could be severe enough to kill you. It is why whenever you/your loved ones are taking antibiotics of ANY kind, you/they need to carefully monitor your condition & reactions. It gets deadly FAST. Start itching? Skin flushes? Rashes, hives, or other bumps? GET TO THE ER, pronto. Make sure you have some benadryl (diphenhydramine is the generic name) in liquid form available, and if there is any question take it~on your way to the hospital!!
it just happened to my coworker! she’s still dealing with the aftermath…it’s not pretty.
Happened to me too when I was a teenager dealing with a kidney infection. They brought a whole army of young medical students to inspect my spotty body. I coudn’t refuse for I was too f—ed up to say no.
I believe it. I was flattened by cipro, the drug of choice for a tough UTI. Took a few days of exposure for the reaction to kick in- initially I felt good. Then I couldn’t do anything but lie down and try not to upchuck. One of the side effects (ulnar neuritis) lasted more than a year. So I can believe she could be shopping with her mom and then bam… In the hospital.
Cipro did me in too. Had a hugely unusual reaction so I am told. It was extremely painful. Lost 12 pounds in two days.
Me too! I took cipro and it gave me the worst migraine of my life! I thought I was gonna stroke out. I had to get baclofen instead because I refused to finish the cipro. I also developed a abcess from a ingrown hair and they prescribed me bactrim..that crap put me in the hospital! I was so dehydrated that I had to stay for 2days. I am not big on taking prescription medication unless I absolutely have to. I’m a RN and I tell pts. all the time, use prescription drugs as a last resort.
There is another very odd side effect of Cipro – people taking this have had their achilles tendon snap – it happened to a friend – a side effect not told by many Drs or pharmacists.
My daughter got erythema multiforme after taking amoxicillin. It started off as spots all over her body that we thought was chicken pox or hand foot and mouth disease. It kept progressing and we took her to the ER. They had never seen anything like it before. They gave her Benadryl and steroids and it still kept getting worse to the point where she looked like she was burnt all over her body and there were blue spots in the middle of the red blotches. Her joints were swollen and blue. They transferred us to children’s where we saw 19 doctors (learning hospital) and they used her photos to teach.
Happened to me too on antibiotics (initially in combination with cortisone for an infected eczema) – I broke out in itching, burning hives from head to toe and got oedemae (sp? what’s the plural of oedema?) in my arms and legs. It was horrible. And the worst thing was that antihistamines and stuff didn’t help – the doctors were quite clueless and it took two whole weeks for the worst to abate.
Ur not alone.. I don’t believe it either.
GEEMONEY – finally somebody said it! I’m so surprised everyone is swallowing what her PR team is putting out there. “Allergic reaction” apparently gets a much more sympathetic response from people than the usual “dehydration” or even “exhaustion.”
Allergic reactions to meds are TERRIBLE. That doesn’t mean she really had one.
Maybe she has PID and needs IV antibiotics in the hospital. Maybe she did too many drugs. Her lifestyle is appalling as far as health goes. We’ll never know what really happened.
2 days for medical admission for clearance.
72 hour hold for psych.
And up to 30 days (27+3) for drug/alcohol dependency detox program.
But, either way, I hope she feels better soon. It’s always concerning when someone so young needs to be hospitalized for any reason.
I believe it COULD happen, but at this time I don’t believe it DID happen.
Especially after reading what I have read regarding CB-ers experiences….it doesn’t sound like you would be taking fresh faced selfies the day of having a reaction. People have mentioned sores, hives, swelling due to the meds to counter the reaction, massive vomiting, dehydration, etc.
If this was just one show where it happened, I might be more inclined to believe her. But she brags about her partying and then keeps getting sick. She’s cancelled 3+ shows now? Knowing what i do about touring and doctors, there is something that smells very off to me about this.
I’m allergic to sulfonamides, so I totally believe it. I was given Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) once and I was fine until suddenly I wasn’t. I got hit with stomach pain and nausea and it hit fast.
I do feel bad for her. It’s been a rough month. I hope she feels better. She can be an asshole, but she is growing on me a little.
dont let her grow on you, just like you don’t want mold growing on you just because you’ve become lazy and have stopped moving…people rant and rave and throw their opinions around so harshly like they really mean it, then a few weeks go by and you’re not so annoyed, things she does (still the same schtick she was doing on TV, but now it’s just in concert-form) ‘are growing on you’? please no.
let’s keep moving further and further away from this girl…let her have her concerts and keep whatever she finds to be sexy or not annoying or ‘art’ in the arenas you have to pay to get into…
let the rest of us breath easy knowing we don’t have to see it anymore…
please.
Amanda-you are the voice of reason.
This
THIS. Don’t care about her hospitalization. Girl should have kept her tongue in her mouth.
And thongs out of her mouth–which is probably how she got sick in the first place.
THANK YOU. I can’t believe people here are actually buying into her antics. She’s nothing more than a self-obsessed brat and comes across as a complete idiot in her interviews.
I didn’t know Molly was an antibiotic.
*Snorts with laughter*
She was taking Molly while shopping with her mom?
Pretty hardcore, man.
I’ve had stress/exhaustion related reactions to drugs. Went into anaphylactic shock at the allergy clinic just getting my immunity shots and have gotten really bad hives either from sulfa drugs or just due to how hard my body was fighting the illness I had at the time. Its up for debate. This kind of stuff is no joke, hope she feels better.
I’m allergic to Penicillin, Amoxicillin and Ceclor. Almost died from an allergic reaction at age 8. It is very VERY serious.
High five for Penicillin/Amoxicillin allergies. It makes being treated in hospital thoroughly difficult though.
On the upside, I remember getting my first bit of medical jewellery when I was 7 years old and being extraordinarily proud of having a necklace with my name on it.
Oh my god, I had a medical bracelet as well and I too LOVED the attention I got from it.
Have you gotten tested to see if you’re still allergic? I’ve heard from various people that the allergy can go away.
The school hallway was my catwalk.
No, I haven’t been tested, I did consider it a couple of years ago simply because I was in hospital quite a bit and it made things a bit complicated. But my mother and grandmother are both allergic to penicillin, and there’s a sensitivity on my paternal side also, so I think I was doomed to begin with!
Have you had it checked at all?
Haven’t been tested. Interesting about your fam. Didn’t realize there was a genetic component.
For the record, allergies do NOT go away. The degree of hypersensitivity to them can be moderated so that reactions are not as severe and it takes a higher concentration to trigger them, but the allergy itself is always present. There is no such thing as “clearing” them, this is a very dangerous thing to misrepresent to the public from a Practitioner standpoint. The best way to fight them is an integrative approach: to strengthen the immune system, and reduce the inflammatory response.
Oh my! Well, thank you for the strongly-worded clarification. And I mean that genuinely–I really didn’t know that and I stand corrected.
Amelia, I just heard there is no genetic component. My son was recently hospitalized with bacterial pneumonia that kept getting worse and the infectious disease docs were working overtime to find a antibiotic that would nail it. I told the infectious disease docs about my own allergies to penicillin and sulfa and they said they weren’t concerned about my son developing them because there wasn’t a genetic predisposition.
@Esmom, was whoever told you that an allergist or immunologist? When my kid was diagnosed with the peanut allergy, I read everything under the sun about allergies and while genetic predisposition to a medicinal allergy isn’t as likely as genetic predisposition to a food allergy, it still exists. It’s not the medicine or food that needs to be considered as much as the IgE response, which absolutely has a genetic component. My next kid, for instance, stands up to a 30% chance of having a food allergy because my first kid has one. My kid’s allergist, apart from seeing patients, researches this stuff everyday so I’m inclined to believe her when she says there’s a genetic component.
Some allergies absolutely can go away. I outgrew a number of allergies as a child, and there are a lot of allergies that can be mitigated by methods other than pharmaceutical. Not all allergic responses result in anaphylaxis either and allergic responses, including anaphylaxis, can spontaneously occur in people who never had allergies before.
Marigold, it was an infectious disease doc who told me that and she was referring specifically to allergies to antibiotics.
@Esmom, so not an allergist or immunologist?
I recommend The Peanut Allergy Answer Book by Michael C. Young. He’s an immunology doctor out of Children’s Hospital in Boston. The book’s focus is peanut allergies but it looks at why all allergies present in children (and adults), with a more specific focus on IgE response. There’s multiple times in this book where he mentions the genetic component. You can also google it. Like I wrote somewhere else in this thread, it’s really interesting stuff. Doctors learn new things everyday about allergies, especially with the enormous and unexplainable increase in allergies over the past 15 years. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone who doesn’t study it is still relying on old information.
Marigold, no, infectious disease as I said. We were in crisis mode. My son was not responding to antibiotics and his pneumonia was spreading rapidly. They were trying to identify the viruses and bacteria so that they could better target the infection and I reminded them of my allergies in case they wanted to avoid those meds and they said they weren’t too worried that he’d have the same reactions as me since antibiotic allergies weren’t genetic. And he didn’t. We weren’t really concerned with allergies in general, just trying to find something that would turn his illness around before he got critical. Since the docs specialize in infectious disease and the drugs that can treat them I had no reason to doubt them. That was just our experience, I’m not trying to be a contrarian or dismiss your views.
I, too, am deadly allergic to the cillins. I almost died around 4 months old due to taking it for a bacterial infection. I had to live in a tent for a while due to breathing issues that resulted. Here’s my question, though-she’s sitting up and seemingly well enough to tweet and apply makeup-why is she still there, really? I guess I’m skeptical given my own traumatic experience with anaphylaxis. Plus, my own child has a peanut allergy (she had an anaphylactic reaction to peanut dust as an infant) and after an overnight stay being monitored and given drugs, they sent her home. Why is Miley still staying at the hospital? I’m very curious about the course of treatment being offered-is it for the allergic reaction or for the underlying illness the medicine was for? Any insight?
ETA-I know the makeup and sitting up doesn’t mean she’s not sick. I just know from pictures of my own experience that an allergic reaction wears you out and my own kid looked like death warmed over after her reaction.
Marigold- she’s traveling and has plenty of money for the bill, so that might make them want to keep her there rather than release her to a hotel room. She may not be ready to travel. Or they may be concerned about reactions to more antibiotics or lung problems or whatever.
I agree, Marigold. Her picture makes me wonder a whole lot. A antibotic reaction sounds incredibly traumatizing, and the photo doesn’t really match the experience. Plus, she tweeted it the afternoon of the 1st show that was cancelled, and if she was shopping with her mom that afternoon, that doesn’t really leave a big window of time for the reaction and the recovery to occur.
Just to expand upon the genetic component, it’s actually really interesting stuff. It’s not drug or allergen specific. For instance, if a parent has an allergy, the chances their child will have *some* allergy increases dramatically. So, when you hear someone say they aren’t concerned about say, a peanut allergy because there is none in the family, it’s misguided. Because if either parent or grandparent has an allergy to anything (even hayfever), the chances another allergy will manifest down the genetic line is very real. Learned this the hard way, myself. It’s obviously not the only deciding factor but it plays a significant part.
Allergies are far more common than they used to be and there is probably a genetic component but anyone can develop allergies with or without their parents or grandparents having them. There is a theory that we are triggering allergies by keeping babies and children hyper-sanitized when the immune system is developing and, as a result, the immune system later perceives relatively benign compounds as dangerous (like pollen or peanuts). I agree, it’s interesting stuff.
@Nina W, I agree. I know it’s only a small component (for instance, my own parents have no allergies and I have the cillin allergies and terrible dust and seasonal allergies). It just increases the likelihood to some degree. The thing with peanut allergies is also that peanuts are everywhere now. They didn’t used to be. People ate peanuts and peanut butter 100 years ago but now we have all these foods cooked with peanuts (many Asian cuisines, for example) that were never here 100 years ago. Couple that with peanuts being a cheap filler for everything. Like, when food manufacturers need a cheap “vegetable” filler for foods, peanuts (technically a vegetable) are used because they are cheap. So, perhaps we’re overexposed to a certain kind of peanut process on one end and then a new peanut process on the other. What’s really interesting is cultures where peanuts have always been a significant part of their *cooked* foods don’t have nearly our level of peanut allergy. Anyway, we do hyper sanitize ourselves in the US and Western Europe and we’re paying the price.
I would die from penicillin. Doctor once prescribed me a “cousin” of it after assuring me that I wouldn’t have a reaction and my Epi-Pen did hardly anything–I had to go to the hospital.
I feel sorry for her if she’s hospitalized for something like that.
Sending well wishes her way. Bad things come in 3’s right? I think she’s due some good fortune
That sucks, hope she feels better soon. Being in the hospital gear reminds me of how young she is.
I had a cold a couple years back that morphed into a sinus infection/pneumonia then turned into viral meningitis. I was going through a bad break up and wasn’t taking care of myself, learned my lesson.
Hopefully she can now keep her thong to herself. Thats probly why she was given antibiotics in the first place kissing random strangers . Eewh!!!
I live in STL and the radio stations had been giving away her tickets like gangbusters. So she might be selling tickets but not at her HM level and I think that is the bottom line for Live Nation.
Get well Miley. Hospital stays suck.
Same here in KC before the show. Two stations were giving them away every hour for two weeks before. Made me wonder about the actual number of tickets paid for by the attendees!
I think Forbes’ article is being misrepresented in the article above. Her shows aren’t doing “great” (aka selling out) and there hasn’t been a surge in ticket sales. Rather, the tickets on the secondary market are selling at a higher cost than they were previously, HOWEVER, the shows are still not selling out. There are tickets from the primary market available for every show.
Interestingly, St. Louis had the lowest average ticket prices of all of the remaining shows on her tour, and was 2nd lowest of her tour overall.
Just as many bloggers don’t get the rabid criticism directed at Jennifer Aniston, I don’t get the folks who actually think this girl is just expressing herself, and has no serious issues. A publicist comes up with the excuse, “yeah, let’s call it an allergic reaction!” and people believe it. This girl is a mess, and headed for real trouble.
I believe a “balls” belongs right here, so BALLS.
bouncing blue balls
Beach ball size balls!
skeptical balls
Sigh. Balls.
I s’pose people with serious issues don’t get bad reactions to antibiotics. Well, hell.
An allergic reaction to antibiotics is no joke. i had one and while it wasn’t life threatening, it was painful and took nearly as long to rid myself of it as it did to cure the original ailment. Hope she’s feeling better soon.
just disappear already.
Anaphylactic reactions to antibiotics are very common~especially the ‘cillin and sulfa classes. I had one myself several years ago, had I not driven myself to the hospital I very well could have died due to respiratory issues. If she had the flu (a viral infection) and her doctor prescribed antibiotics (which only treat bacterial infections, NOT viral infections) than her Doctor needs to be fired 2 days ago. Hives, skin redness, respiratory distress due to immune system flooding the tissues, and swollen/puffy features are typical possibilities for systemic anaphylactic reactions, but the picture she tweeted is remarkaably clear of any signs that she had any of those. Generally they are treated with steroids, epinepherine, and antihistamines and quickly released. As a Chinese medicine practitioner, I can make the correlation between my own anaphylactic reaction and how even 6 years later how my immune system is still hypersensitive, whereas western medicine regards it as over and done with. The immune system is both a terrifying and wondrous thing~mess with it too much, than it can easily turn against itself. Autoimmune diseases (the immmune system seeing itself as the enemy and fighting itself) are VERY common and incresasing in frequency, as well as tending to run in clumps. Chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, sclerosis, fibrosis, etc all have autoimmune aspects.
All of this! I’m a chiropractor and I stopped taking antibiotics for every dang thing 15 years ago. When I do need one, it works immediately. No 7-10 day treatment for me. Once it’s gone, they are gone so my immune system can reset.
I took sulpha drugs for what docs thought was kidney stones. I developed fever, debilitating back pain and finally, explosive diarh+ea which lasted 7 days. I thought I was going to die. I lost about 15 pounds and people at work were shocked by my appearance when I returned. I’ll bet that’s what happened to Miley – she looks very pale.
Lol she apologized to the state of Kansas. Hunny, Kansas City is in Missouri.
P.s. Her road managers tweets that Miley favorited about Will I Made makes this situation scream bad batch of recreational drugs.
There is a Kansas City, KA. So, yes, she may have been playing in Kansas. It’s across the river from Kansas City, MO
The tickets sale was Missouri. Not that it matters.
Exactly.
I was one of those people who didn’t think her tour would do well at all. Good for her for proving us wrong, this touring seems to be keeping her from doing most of her usual foolish antics. However, is privacy really not sacred anymore? Why Tweet a photo of yourself in the hospital? I must be getting old because I just think that’s embarrassing.
It’s her generation, they don’t feel like they’re living if they don’t tweet about it.
I am allergic to sulfa and rocephin.I recently found out I was allergic to Rocephin after getting the shot and breaking out in rash. I was on my way to a concert though and didn’t get any treatment because I didn’t want the doctors telling me i couldn’t go. It was a John Mayer concert, which yea…embarrassing.
John Mayer tends to give most women rashes. ;p
I’m finding it very hard to believe this is true. Yes, I know antibiotic allergies are extremely serious, but for someone in Miley’s situation, receiving undoubtedly excellent medical care, I just don’t buy it. I’m sure she has a physician she sees regularly (I know there have been stories about health issues in the past – nothing serious, but being sick), this cannot be the first time she’s taken them, and even in a different city her primary would most likely have been contacted if only to verify what antibiotics she has been on in the past to ensure her safety. The last time I was given antibiotics the doctor asked what I had been on before. I was so sick I couldn’t think straight and said something like “the ‘a’ one” and they verified amoxicillin. I’m sorry, I just don’t buy it. Now if she was drinking on them…. Yeah, that can land you in the hospital.
She still disgusts me beyond words.. I think I need a bottle of antibiotics just looking at some of these pictures.
I almost died when given Benedryl (what they give you most times when you have an allergic reaction like I did to penicillin. (Already knew I was allergic to sulfa drugs.) didn’t know penicillin & Benedryl reactions run on my dad’s side of family:(. So I have to be very careful. & w/ my illnesses. & the chemo meds I have to take, I get infections a lot because of no immune system. Haven’t for years. Mao I empathize w/ her. If she’s in a Kansas City chances are she could be. @KUMC. I get treated there (long drive ) for the CNS effects of Sjogrens & Sclero; and for Parkinson’s. They performed one of my hubby’s heart surgery ‘s also. A really good facility. They won’t release her if she’s not well enough.
So much you have to deal with, I have many allergies, so I know how miserable it is/can make life. All the best, GreenEyes.
I think considering her history it’s much more likely that this hospitalization is due to drugs than antibiotics, but I think it’s really sweet that people believe her publicist’s statement.
“Antibiotics”… right.
That’s rough…Those allergic reactions can be awful and tough on the body.
It makes sense. Stress blows out the adrenals. Once the adrenals are freaked out, allergies happen, as well as illness/infections. I’ve been down that road. I am wishing her all the best. May she find the right people to help her through this.
I’m sorry to hear about the reaction, my mother had the same thing happen with penicillin. However, nothing will EVER make me enjoy miley Cyrus. Everything about her…I just can’t. She’s up there with Kim kardashian and Lindsay Lohan for me, and please don’t try to tell me “well at least she has talent”, because I hardly call what she does talent. She can’t sing or act very well, her dancing is garbage and she acts as vulgar as possible to stay relevant. I’m just waiting for her to fade away…
I’m allergic to sulfa and any medication in the fluoroquinolone family which includes Cipro. Cipro is prescribed for simple things like UTIs that can be treated with other drugs like penicillin. The unfortunate thing with Cipro is that during the anthrax outbreak back in 2001, there were so many Cipro pills produced that Bayer was finding them hard to get rid of so they started being prescribed for things that proven, old school antibiotics could handle.
After two doses of Cipro my feet hurt so badly that I couldn’t walk and my shoulder hurt as if I had the flu. I called my doctor and she told me to stop taking it immediately and come into the office. When I got there she determined that the tendons in my foot had been damaged and I was sent to an orthopedic surgeon. He said he had heard of that type of damage happening from taking Cipro but he had never actually treated it before. So he put me in a boot for four months and I spent those four months in rehab trying to use my foot and leg again. My leg atrophied, of course, because it was in the boot so long. Thankfully I’m back to normal now but there are people who took that drug who will never be the same.
I wrote to the FDA and explained what had happened to me. They actually did write back but their response left me cold. They said there were not enough complaints to consider taking it off the shelf and they felt they had done enough by putting the black box warning on the bottles. To me, if something needs a black box warning, should we really be taking it?
Happened to me last summer when I took Bactrim. I had the worst stomach pains, throwing up, and a really high fever. Then my whole body broke out it very painfully itchy rash. Like my whole entire body. It was horrible. I had to be hospitalized twice for several hours.
Miley’s done some stupid shit, but I believe she should be given the male “sowing some wild oats” pass once she comes out of it. She should not be shamed forever; that’s just not fair or warranted. I do hope she’s feeling better. I heard that 90% of her audience is female, so maybe girls are digging her show.
I don’t give that pass to men so I won’t give it to her either.
And in all fairness, drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamine, and molly (MDMA~the MA component being methamphetamine) ie, the speedy drugs, can intensify/precipitate an allergic reaction due to the body already being in a “jacked up” state. Those types of chemicals are already making the body work in overdrive, throw something else on top of it and BOOM .
lots of people thought her tour would bomb because “ew, miley’s skanky!!! yuck!!!” and similar bs. she works hard promoting her tour, does her job, picks good songs to record, and can actually perform live (since she can actually sing). why shouldn’t she be successful? haters be hatin’ while miley’s on the way to the bank.
