Except for when it causes Necrotizing Fasciitis.

Ha...yes. Wimpy was a poor word choice.

That said, if I had a nickel for every patient who thought they had "that flesh eating bacteria", I wouldn't have to even think about Group A Strep any more.

Ok, so I missed a dose of the amox. (didnt someone in this thread cite that as a reason for getting the shot?).

Anyhow, am I going to die because of this? I have always heard how bad it was to miss a dosage of antibiotics. Why is that? Also, do I tack on the missed dosage at the end of the run or do I simply skip that dosage and end the run as previously scheduled?

I also have almost an entire bottle of pain pills. PM me for details.

Great, now you've become the breeding ground for a new, more powerful antibiotic-resistant strain of strep.

Thanks, 3D!

I took a minor fall on a bike a month ago and dinged up my elbow pretty good. It never healed. This surprised me because I have always healed very quickly and easily. This time it turned into a very unpleasant looking mess. At my wife's urging (she grew tired of me ruining things by bleeding on them) I finally went to the doctor today and I have now been cultured from three locations (none of those, sheesh) and had blood drawn and been prescribed some sort of horse-sized pill to take 4 times daily. If it turns out that any of the cultures reveal resistant strains of bacteria I will be getting a new AB prescription. Some fun.

I have noticed that antibiotics makes pee smell like antibiotics. I wonder if horse sized antibiotics make your pee smell like horse pee? (sorry folks, this is a medical thread. I'm asking in the name of science)

I amde this post against my own better judgment. I am now realizing I should listen to my own better judgment.

Given your conservative political posts, I'm not surprised to learn that you hate science.

Depends on if the antibiotic is metabolized primarily in the liver or in the kidney.
