  • CY why is she suffering, because she is ill or because of the ABs? If the later ring the GP and get a different script. From somebody who has taken a lot of ABS there are often other 'kinder' ones (they just cost a bit more ;))

    Both really - she hates doctors - she'd had tonsilitis for 2 weeks before I could drag her there! She's on erythromycin because she has a suspected penicillin allergy. The suffering is gastric - she could trump for Britain ;);) and oral - she can't swallow tablets so she's taking medicine - which is apparently yeuch!

    We have nearly finished the bottle....:j

    CY .. Erythromycin is known to cause upset tummies.. as do most ABs.. they work by killing ALL the nice bugs as well as the nasty ones so the rotting corpses of the old dead bugs dont do their job and cause gas.. That is why you often get thrush as well due to the equilibrium being upset. When I get ABs I get canesten at the same time.. and more loo roll!! and I concur.. the medicine tastes like crap and has an evil after taste.. the capsules are easier.. you open them and sprinkle the contents on a spoon of yoghurt or similar and swallow that! (other tablets I just crunch! I gag and choke on 1/4 paracetamols.. pathetic I know :p) I have the most awful ear ache again.. been hurting for about 3 weeks... I do empathise with DD hatred of doctors, though for different reasons probably.

    Dusty ... no she is banned next week for her behaviour this week. She has "too-big-for-her-boots-itis" as well at the moment.. ggrrrrr

    Lovely wet and soggy day here.. on he bright side, there was no ice to scrape off the windscreen! :D

    3 loads of wet washing to get through! and I need to chase my new bearings
    DD3 on a trip to Eden camp.. sounds wet and muddy to me!
    Must gather up info for this weeks appointments and such.

    I am suddenly, today, really really angry with KH for his treatment of me and the children before he left and his lack of interest or care of the children now, particularly the bigger ones.

    oh.. and the NSPCC are totally thick.. their "service" is a farce.

    Good Morning ladies. I'm feeling a little more like myself today. I had obviously got myself in quite a state as the "bites" turned out to be Urticaria (hives). I have previously suffered with this when I was very stressed some years back. I had some of my old medication (still in date) so took that and managed to get a good night's sleep.

    I'm glad you are happy with the way it went JulieJim. Remember to take it easy, you've had a hard time lately. Hope the toothache has gone away.

    Valli thanks for the reminder about MSDiva.
