bobo......I would explore all possiblilties for your reaction.
These events were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not possible to reliably calculate their frequencies.
Symptomatic granulomatous prostatitis, epididymo-orchitis, and renal abscess associated with administration of intravesical BCG have been reported.
Ocular symptoms (including uveitis, conjunctivitis, iritis, keratitis, granulomatous choreoretinitis) alone, or in combination with joint symptoms (arthritis or arthralgia), urinary symptoms and/or skin rash, have been reported following administration of intravesical BCG. The risk appears to be elevated among patients who are positive for HLA-B27. (13)
Skin rash, arthralgia and migratory arthritis may be allergic reactions
These are the underreported symptoms of BCG probably because doctors refuse to accept them as symptoms of BCG.....but i know just from this site i've seen the cases of uveitis, and especially migratory arthritis.
And yes you should pee into a cup before every treatment.
Everything you do not want to know about BCG.....take it with a grain of salt but info worth knowing especially if you uro doesn't.
