Apologies

If you said something & were surprised I didn't comment, I'm sorry. I seem to be missing a lot lately.

Finished course of antibiotics last night. Question: Does the 5-day azithromycin treatment ever help anybody? 'Cos now that I'm done with it, I seem to remember it being ineffective the last time I tried it, and it certainly doesn't seem to have done much to battle the infection this time.

Am cranky, sad, and scared for a variety of reasons today. Since my ears are now too congested for me to enjoy listening to music, it's probably time to just go back to sleep.

Go back to Dr. and get a new antibiotic if this one isnt' working. Should've started working for you by day 2 at least.

*HUG*

We are still hoping to see you Sat.

Well, I know antibiotics don't always feel like they're working all that quickly. I'll attempt to get through to the doctor's office tomorrow.

Saturday?

Ah, thank you! I was wondering if I was losing my mind. Yes, here's hoping I don't cough over you too much on Thursday!

I've had good luck with the Z-pack, but it probably does not work for everything. Definitely give your doctor a call if you aren't better.

Ah, good to know it works for somebody! Just not me & my bronchitis, it seems. Will try to get through to the doctor's office tomorrow.

Hey, girlie.

I'm sorry that you are still sick. I know the feeling. It took me nearly three weeks to get over that last bout of funk. I'm still trying to regain my pre-funk strength. The Z-pack is my miracle antibiotic. Little else seems to work well for me. But every body is different. Some people can't take it because it increases GI motility (in other words...gives them the squirts!) It just gives me bad gas. Gee, you REALLY needed to know that, huh? :-) Although it ultimately defeats the infection it does seem to make me feel worse for a few days. I really don't notice a great improvement until the seventh day (after I've taken all five pills). If you're still feeling like ick after a full week then call your doc and have him/her prescribe another antibiotic for you.

I hope you feel better, soon.

Hah! Glad to hear about your squirt-free gas. ;-) I haven't had a major problem with the digestive system, but the bronchitis feels worse if anything. Started taking it on Tues., so I guess tomorrow would be a good day to call the doctor.

So sorry you are not well.
Thankyou for your positive comments for my side of things. You always make things seem brighter.
