In the future when I come to your office complaining
of various symptoms that require you to place me on an antibiotic,
will you please
GIVE ME THE STRONGEST
antibiotic that you have access to?
For example, at the beginning of the year I came down with something.
I have no memory of what it was.
All I know is we went through 3 antibiotics before one finally worked.
And that meant I was sick for over two weeks.
Another example, 3 weeks ago I came down with something
and again, we went through 3 antibiotics before
FINALLY last Thursday
you prescribed a really strong antibiotic and guess what?
I'm feeling better.
That's right, no more coughing all night long.
So in the future when I come to your office,
please just give me the strong stuff first.
I'm tired of having to go through antibiotic after antibiotic after antibiotic
until we find the one that will work.
And no, I do not want another Z-pack ever again!
I thank you, my family thanks you
and I'm sure your office staff thanks you because
they no longer have to talk to me after 3 weeks in a row
calling and complaining how sick I am to them.
And if anyone is wondering,
I am feeling better.
Thank you Lord!

So glad you are feeling better Lois! Make sure you eat lots of yogurt to replace all the good bacteria in your digestive tract. All those meds can really make your stomach sick! I haven't taken antibiotics in years but one time I had a sinus infection that lasted for 4 months. I went through 3 different meds but none worked until the doctor gave me a really strong antibiotic. She gave me a 14 day course and I finally started feeling better so she added another 7 days and it finally left! Four months of sinus pain and constant sore throats! Take care of yourself my friend! Hugs

Hi Sunshine,
So glad to hear you are feeling better. I am with you, seems like they should just give you something
that they know will knock it out quickly and efficiently. I abhor taking antibiotics cause they mess my stomach and system up something awful, so I feel your pain!! lol
I have never tried a z pack before but I know some people say they work great for them. I just wait mine out and rest a lot and drink plenty of fluids and eat chicken soup, take vit c and b complex,
that works for me!!
Have a good day tomorrow since you are finally feeling better....but
don't overdue it!! lol
Love and Blessings hon,
Nellie

YAY Lois! So glad to hear that you got what you needed!! Praise God!
I am not a big fan of antibiotics but am definitely glad that they are there if we need them!! I know they don't like to use the big guns unless they have to because of the concern of the patient developing immunity to them. I was on two big guns before and after my appendectomy. I can say this...it would be a good idea for you to take a quality probiotic when you finish these meds to balance out the good bacteria for your future health. You can also get probiotics through live culture yogurt, like Activia.
I'll keep praying for you sweetie! You know that!
Have a good week, ok?
Love ya,
Becky

I am so glad you are feeling better. It is crazy how they do things. My sister was just in the hospital, she is fine now, but what a circus....all I know is that if I ever end up in a hospital my family better stick by pretty close or I could come out with a vasectomy....ok I am joking.....sorta. take care.

PTL you're feeling better! It's a shame to have to go thru so much before finding something that will help. The next time...and I hope that won't be for a looooong time...gently remind the doc your past experiences. I think he would agree with you to go with the strong stuff first.
