antibiotics and their effect on the MS person

Hello,
I would like to hear some experiences of people with MS who have also had to use antibiotics. My husband was doing the antibiotic protocol for 2 years with no ill effects really, but after having a very bad UTI, he has been on a few different antibiotics than the ones he is used to. They have decreased his walking ability and halted his peeing altogether. Of course, the urologist said that wouldn't have caused the problem, but we know from experience it exacerbated the problem...my husband had trouble but afterwards was completely unable to go. When he went off the antibiotics, he was able to pass again. I wonder if other people have had this experience, and if so could you please let me know?
Thanks,
Why

Yup, trimethoprim stopped me peeing, I'm sure it was the drug and not the UTI. The urologist didn't dismiss it but he wasn't at alkl convinced.

Antibiotics give me an upset stomach unless I drink an actimel a day.

Thanks ElMarino for the reply...now I wonder what causes this to happen. For my husband it was ciprofloxacine, ofloxacine, and something beginning with an F...perhaps they share something in common, that he doesn't agree with.
