A few years back, I was on Bactrim for a staph infection. Three days after I started noticing bruises on my hips, and the next day my body was covered with large bruises, petechiae, and I had blood blisters in my mouth. The doctors attributed this to the Bactrim I was on. I have never had this happen, nor has it happened since. I no long take ANY sulfa-drugs.
