Unpop ops/flameable confessions

Yaga, I agree about the antibiotics. I've had SO many sinus infections. There are certain cases where nothing else works and I need the antibiotics because it is actually a bacterial issue. Bacteria go deeper into the tissues yadda yadda, so when I not only have sinus but facial pain, that's usually when I try and get the antibiotics. It's pretty impossible to tell between the two kinds but when pain spreads, for me at least, it has always been easily solved with antibiotics. When pain stays localized to the sinuses I never get the antibiotics, warm cloths and steam help the best.

I don't see how antibiotics have more of a risk than Vicodin. That's just me.

<div>OMG, this. I don't see this happening nearly enough anymore. I really hope I am able to do this for my children. I see so many kids pushing their parents around, acting up, running around screaming, yelling at their parents. NO. Not going to happen with me. Children need guidance and help, but they also need room to grow and become themselves, not what their parents decide they need to be. I got really lucky with my mom. All she ever had to do was say she was disappointed in my behavior if I did something wrong, which didn't happen often because of the way she raised me. That maternal guilt can do so much!</div>

I don't understand why my sister's doctor gives in and prescribes a z-pack <strong>every month</strong>.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Unpop ops/flameable confessions : A TK friend of mine who is a nurse just told me (and other people via FB post)<strong> that she begged her doctor for an antibiotic because she was coming down with the flu,</strong> 4 days before her wedding. I was so angry and heated over that statement that I couldn't even muster an "I hope you feel better by Saturday" because I was so appalled by the situation. Even other nursing/science/medical people didn't notice it, and so I thought maybe I was the only one who felt this way. I'm glad I'm not alone.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Unpop ops/flameable confessions : I started to wonder about her nursing education at that point. Also - I saw your other post about the sinus infections. I'm sure you've seen a ENT doctor, but the best thing I had done for my repeated sinus infections was have the turbinates in my nose surgically cauterized. Everything was so swollen that nothing was draining properly, keeping the infectious stuff in (virus or bacteria) and it would just keep flaring up. It's been 5 years and I've had maybe 1 sinus infection since. I keep Patanase and Nasonex on hand when things start getting stuffed up. I tried the Netipot thing, but sort of failed at doing it correctly. Luckily I haven't had a need to do it much since my "surgery" (it was a 10 minute outpatient procedure).

</div><div>I was briefly spoken to about that awhile back when it seemed I was getting them a lot. Most were semi-bearable but I had one or two that had the horrible facial pain that felt like it was moving down my face.

[QUOTE]My flammable opinion is that when you voluntarily put yourself into the public spotlight (like the college student, celebrities, etc), I don't feel as sorry for you when people call you names, etc. Do I agree with what Rush said? No. But he functions on attention so what do you expect? She put herself into the spotlight so I don't get worked up at the results of her choice. That's also why I don't feel too sympathetic when celebrities whine about paparazzi. You are only famous because people care about watching you; yes, it gets too intense, but that's a choice you made. Some celebrities purposely stay out of the public eye outside of movies. As a result, they don't get as much fame, but they have more privacy. Own your choices.

I'm nodding along right with you.

Not to mention.. I was reading an article the other day (I can't remember where, I'll try and find it) that there was a Target 3 miles away from the school that offered BCP for $8/month for people without insurance... so to act like they have no other options is crap.

And if they can't afford the $8/month, perhaps they should just abstain until they have enough money to get BC. Because a kid is way more expensive that BCP or condoms.
