They do. And she's better when she takes a pro-biotic along with it... but the sulfas seem to do her more wrong than the nons.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
And people just develop drug allergies. It's weird. I took penicillin forever and suddenly developed an allergy when I was 21.
I've been allergic to amoxycillin since I was a child.
Hey, me too! I keep thinking I should get one of those Med-Alert bracelets, but I don't.
I remember SF F2F meltdowns. I was at home, by myself for mine. Good times.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I seem to have the opposite of a sulfa allergy: it's the only antibiotic I don't have a bad reaction to. I'm allergic to penicillin and its cousins, I had the weirdest most unsettling reaction ever to Levaquin, and the mycin family puts me in the bathroom and does horrible things to me.

I continue to be mystified by this ear infection. The lump in the lymph node seems smaller and I think is only tender because I keep poking it.
Still, no fever, headache, anything coming out...etc. The only two symptoms are the bump, slight tenderness right under the round part of the ear and red/itchy skin on the back on my ear.
Some of Dr. Internet's advice says such a thing might resolve itself. I just can't see going to a doctor without a fever.
A couple of people have been badgering me but...with all due respect to every medical professional everywhere...since my last two ventures into the medical industrial complex resulted in 'them' nearly killing me...yeah, I'm hesitant.

Yeah, I can understand that hesitation.

Another mystery, though I want to think it is because of the deep freeze we are in, my body temperature has actually been 'low' over the last week. Nothing over 98.5 and much of the time in the mid 97s.
Weird.
It's not like my heater isn't working, yo.

bonny, I can definitely understand your hesitation. I hope you're feeling better soon.
Speaking of medical stuff, can thyroxine cause stomach upset?
Also, I switched over to my new wallet today, and it makes me so happy I thought I should share. link

I felt really nauseated from the generic one, but had no problems with brand-name Synthroid.

hello Bitches! I'm just catching up ... spent two weeks (including Christmas AND New Year) with the flu. Saw the doctor today, described what it was like and, yup, flu. sigh ... luckily, I'd been stocking up on non-perishables (grocery clerks were planning on going out on strike). Lots of juice, soup, etc., so I came through as well as possible. Caught up on my sleep and dropped a couple pounds, since I wasn't eating much.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, polymixin fun! My skin has gradually gotten less and less tolerant since childhood. A nurse in the doctor's office applied Neosporin under a gauze pad and surgical tape, and I womanfully restrained my urge to scratch for several minutes, until the skin began to *burn* as well as itch intensely. I was actually whimpering by the time she pulled it off. Her expression was stricken, and she hustled me over to the sink to wash everything off as quickly and well as possible.
"Never use anything with polymixin in it!"
"Yes, ma'am. Just as you say."
The adhesive had started dissolving the skin where it had been attached, too, so we started over with Bacitracin, a larger gauze pad, and silk surgical tape. Which I removed as soon as I was home and could go sleeveless.
On the flip side, once the irritant is removed, my skin heals freaky fast, a side effect of the psoriasis.
Todd! Hi!
