i took the tablet

[jillyb]

Hi there

Thanks for your comments. I have eventually taken the first antibiotic - feeling very panicky and imagining the worst! Husband not very understanding! He finds it difficult to help with my anxieties as he is so laid back about everything - lucky thing. He even walks into an operating theatre laughing! Oh to be like him. Anyway, I am sure I will be forever on this site, as its great to know there is support out there.

Good luck Jilly

Remember that the side-effects if you even get any are temporary ok

Hope you are ok cos I hate them too!!

Well done Jilly, that's good news. As Nicola said, don't forget that any side-effects you may get (and you probably won't) are just temporary, and especially any sort of tummy upset is just your body doing its thing and healing up!

I am so fed up with feeling so anxious all the time. I have just taken the 2nd of my antibiotics and struggling, waiting anxiously for side effects. Also, I am supposed to be driving about 150 miles for a conference and I just don't feel up to it. It also involves staying away for a couple of nights. Supposing I react to these blasted tablets? Panic, panic, panic. I know I don't have to go (after all, I do have an abcess) but then, will I feel I have let myself down! I am blighted by this condition. Have had therapy in the past, which was helpful, but these horrid feelings are always lurking somewhere. Oh to be free of it. Why can't I see things rationally? I am just so glad I have found this site. Atleast I know I am not alone.

Hi Jilly. I've just finished a third set of antibiotics to try and clear up a damn infection and I haven't had any side effects. One tip though is to drink one of the bottles of pro-biotic drinks. This will help re-establish the good bacteria in your gut. It's because the AB destroy the bacteria that we get tummy upsets so if you take a drink a day, it will help your gut flora [^]

Hi Jilly,

Well done for taking the antibiotics. I hope by the time you read this you are feeling lots better.

Take Care
