IJWTS - I had strep last week, and took amoxicillin, but it gave me bad side effects and my substitute dr said to just stop taking it. Well that is what made me worse I guess, according to the Urgy care dr. So she gave me a new rx. and told me if I dont feel better in a few days she is also going to prescribe steroids because its really bad.

IJWTS ahh yeah. My son got a rash from the amoxicillin but it cleared right up. Sorry to hear you got bad side effects. I do believe you are supposed to finish your full course of antibiotics because if you stop it, then the bacteria become resistant to it and come back even stronger or a different infection can appear. Of course, if you are having a severe allergic reaction or other serious side effects I don't see why they could prescribe you a different antibiotic. They like to give amoxicillin first because it is cheap and normally works pretty well.

IJWTS - yeah well the dr that called me told me just to stop taking it after about 3 days of taking it and then he didnt prescribe anything else. So that is where it went wrong. So this dr was so much nicer. I am thinking of changing drs.

IJWTS wow, what an idiot. I can't believe a doctor told you to not finish your full course of antibiotics and then didn't prescribe anything else. That is what contributes to making certain strains of bacteria so resistant! I can't believe a medical professional would give you such poor advice. I am actually shocked that he wouldn't follow such a basic principle. It's about as a bad as a financial planner telling you to go ahead and rack up credit card debt and spend all your savings.

 

[Redstiletto]

IJWTS - Yeah I know that now. But i also very rarely take meds, only if I have to so I had no clue.

IJWTS - Reading through your last few posts, that's why I haven't switched Doctors in over 20 years. He never misses that stuff (hate to use the word never)...

IJWTS - I have been going to the same dr for over 10 years. She knows me well, we argue and debate alot. Because she insists on prescribing medication even when she knows I wont take it. But when any of me or my sisters get sick, the rest of us dont have to come in we just call and she will put a rx at our pharmacy for us.

IJWTS - My doc would do that, especially because my mom was an RN, but sometimes he'd ask us to come in. He's great!

Another busy day at work, but hey, it's already 9:30.

IJWTS - Trying to get these topics in photochemistry for this exam on March 21 is not fun. Good thing I'm at least vaguely familiar with this stuff.

IJWTS product trainings in person are so much better than Webinars.

 

[Tinkerbell33]

IJWTS - Get off my back. Okay..thanks.

IJWTS I should really get up and move from the spot I've been in for quite a while now.

IJWTS - Why get up? You're just going to sit again.

 

[ido]

IJWTS yeah, but I'd be relocating to my car to make the hour drive towards home.

 

[CrusaderKing]

IJTWS - People tell me that I'm lazy. I want to argue with them, but I don't feel like making the effort to do it.

 

[Redstiletto]

IJWTS - I am excited! And only I know why It would take to long to explain

 

[thekwizzitiveone]

IJWTS - I posted an album of the red I put in my hair! Woo!!

 

[thekwizzitiveone]

[frenzy]

IJWTS - I was going to say something here and I forgot. Hmm.
