Hi all,
So I broke 4 ribs recently and started taking muscle relaxers to help with the pain. Unfortunately, it seems like when I take them I keep getting the dreaded ??? sign from dexcom. Anyone else get this?
Thanks!!
Oh, I feel for you! I broke 4 ribs in 2004. If your muscle relaxants have tylenol in them it will interfere with the dexcom. Call your doc and ask for something without tylenol.
Hope you feel better soon!
I had 2 sensors fail with the dreaded ??? this week. Have not been taking anything, Seems like they have a bad batch of sensors out there.
I also have had a run of sensor failures lately. Not ??? but sensor failed. Most have worked beautifully but I think I’ve had more sensors replaced over this past two months than I have during the past two years I’ve been on dexcom. The company has been awesome about sending out replacements though.
There is a way to recover from ???. I cannot remember the details, however tech support will be able to help you.
I take a muscle relaxer every night before bed and haven’t seen ??? since I started the meds 2 months ago.
I’ve pulled my back and also have been taking flexeril and the Dexcom seems not bothered by it. Your medication probably has tylenol in it or a family of that. To the recovery question. When I accidentally took tylenon or sometimes just have to I shut my sensor down and give it 12hrs to a day to know it’s out of my system and it’s booted right back up. No trouble. Just while it’s in your system don’t run your sensor , just let it rest. This is ony my personal exp. YMMV
Thank you so much- I think I just had a bad sensor. I have been fine on this next one (although I also stopped the meds, so hard to tell). Appreciate the help! Hope you are well
