NWR: Antibiotics...

are horrible!

I have been on antibiotics for 12 days now, with 2 to go, for a stupid infection I got in my toe nail from breaking my toe.  Not only are they making me terribly nauseous (which is normal because its a super strong antibiotic) but they are changing the taste of things and I constantly taste like I have a dirty rubber shoe in my mouth.  Its really bad.  Oh, and the worst part, no alcohol for 48 hours before I started, none during and still none until 48 hours after I have finished the cycle.  Ugh!!!  And this morning begins my 2 days off and after the week I've had I am dying for a glass of wine during the Dancing With The Stars premier tonight.  Guess its ginger ale for me =(

Thanks for the vent, so on a lighter note.....whose excited for DWTS!!!!

    Yes they are....I take my last one this morning for sinus and septum surgery...I started them on March 1....20 days of pure delight.  I did however have a few drinks at the beginning of taking them and I 2 glasses of wine this weekend....but none for the duration because I was in so much pain and on narcotics.  Not to mention what they do to birth control pills...I was aleady nervous because I"m 7 months away from the big day...and now this to add to it!  Grrr...antibiotics!

    I forgot DWTS started tonight...FI is away, so maybe I'll tune in!

    no thats not always true.  Only some antibiotics can interfere with BC.  These ones dont.  Thats a question i always ask when I get put on new meds.
