Good Day , Bad Day?... How Was Your Day? come and share with us..

To top it,off, by chance I have discovered why this persistent tooth infection won't go away. The locum who is subbing for my regular doc who is on holiday, has been prescribing amoxicillin 250Mg three times a day. At my appt yesterday, he explained

that my infection was taking longer to heal, because he was giving me a lighter dose to avoid a probable yeast infection. Made sense to me. Never had one don't want one. Today, while cleaning up, I came across an empty bottle of amoxicillin that had

been prescribed for me at Emerg. Well, imagine my amazement when I discovered that the dose was 500mg three times a day. Double my present dose. I had no difficulty with infection during that time. Now I understand Why I seemed to be sicker

after I took the drugs locum prescribed, than when treated by Emerg, even when I took pills for a long period of time. I told was that I always take yoghurt and cranberry juice while using antibiotics. He ignored me. I am pissed. This is the third

series of low dose antibiotics he has given me, and my tooth still leaks pus! So, another appt will be needed to get proper level Of meds, all because of his arrogance. I also find sitting in small closed room difficult. My early experiences doctors were

traumatic also. This crap only feeds my fear. He also intimates that PTSD is more or less the same as biochemical depression,
Was dismissive of my assertion that if I had biochemical depression, I would never have survived adolescence.
 

Shalimar, I'd be so mad if I were you. I think a bit of a yeast infection would be better than what you've been going through for so long with your tooth. Shoot, you can go to Wal-mart and for less than $20 get a 2 or 3 day cure for a yeast infection.
 
Thanks Linda, I went to the pharmacist, picked up the monostat I combo pack. I am now doubling up my antibiotics to reach the necessary 1500mg daily dose. Pharmacist expressed concern over dangers of infection spreading to my blood stream which

can lead to heart problems, or my tooth induced sinus infection spreading to my brain, if present level of antibiotics were continued. *++^^%=+^=++ is how I feel about this crap. A lot of these older doctors do not listen to women.
 

How did this get buried down so far? I'd seen a post from Hollydolly on Denise's mattress thread and it reminded me that I hadn't seen this thread in a while.

Rise and shine, kids! Shali...tooth? How are you doing? Hollydolly? That bruise looks awful. Geez. I have "rolling" veins so it's hard to stick me for a blood draw, but I've never had my arm look like that afterward.
 
How are you doing Georgia? I had a job interview today and one tomorrow. Dang it I am probably going to get one of them and my three month vacation will be over. But, I need that thing called money to live and feed the fur babies.
 
Hi, Waterlilly. I'm just dandy, thanks! Work? Yeah. Feeding the fur babies? Hell yeah!

I'm going to work this morning. Me. Work. After having retired for the fourth time, I'm going to work. It's only for just this one client, though. I'm not really un-retiring exactly.

Hollydolly needs to get herself back here and fill us in on her Adventures in Living!

Shalimar...how goes it in your War on Teeth?
 
A big storm is hitting Scotland including our area. The friends who check on our house have gone off to Florida, so we'll have to get someone else to see if our roof is okay.

This is a photo I saw online for one of the ferries that service our area - this is the one that rarely gets cancelled but it did today. This was before it got cancelled!

Hi Georgia, still taking antibiotics, so far no need for monostat--no experience with such infections. Recovering slowly, if this doesn't work then we go to the toxic stuff. Yippee. I have Virgo tummy, so I will vomit for sure. Sigh. If I had been prescribed the larger dose from the get go, the infection would be gone, and so would my tooth. Never eaten so much yogurt and cranberry juice in my life.
 
How was my day? Sort of boring. I didn't do a lot, stayed indoors most of the day. That is quite a photo of the ferry in the storm Ameriscot. Wow! I hope that all turned out ok for you.

Tomorrow, I'll have to at lest go outside and walk around awhile. This was a lazy day but at lest I didn't eat a lot.
