It can cause severe joint/tendon damage (like tendons rupturing and/or snapping), often irreparable.
Damn it, Hubby's been on that stuff multiple times!
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Do they have any clue as to HOW it fucks up joints?
One article that I skimmed said it induces cell death in the tendon-y bits.

Yikes, I have been on it many many times.

I'm not saying don't take it; I'm just saying, IF you have joint/tendon pain, tell your doctor immediately. There's always other antibiotics that don't have the side effect of rupturing your tendons.
I am under orders to check in with my doctor every week via email to tell her how I'm doing. If there's any bad wackiness, we will switch to something else.
Teppy, THANK YOU for telling me that. Because, um, I am the princess of ignoring aches and pains. (Not the Queen. That would have been my Mom.)

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
My day:
Bureaucracy and failing at not crushing on and longing over the Wrong Man (damn you, hormones): 1. Shir: 0.
But, funny story. I talked with a friend in the uni today and mentioned Hollaback Israel. A student walked by, caught the name of the site, and immediately turned around and asked if we're from the site. I raised my hand and nodded. And then, she started: "you've changed the world. No, really. You have no idea", and kept talking for 5 minutes on how the site helped her to show other men women's perspective and how her baby sister is now shouting and and shaming anyone who dares to holler at her.
I was very flattered and very embarrassed. Even more than when I realized, 10 minutes later, that some of part of mostly sex-narrated talk might have been overheard by an ex-lecturer.
Oh, and if anyone can find a way to kick at my hormones and tell them to stop being attracted to Wrong Man, do let me know. I cannot have a crush on this guy. Really, not him (there are a lot of moral reasons. Don't ask).

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Oh I love this part!
Hey! Shir's Hormones! Cut that out right now!

I may have just read it as a band's name.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Shir, it is always good to see you. I'm glad that you are getting such awesome feedback about your awesome HI. About the Wrong Guy, sorry, you have my sympathy, but I don't know the cure for that, either.

Shir, you are so awesome. Seriously.
