Awesome! Well done.

 

[pdg]

but I've heard that alot of people actually feel nauseous as a side effect of antibiotics... that may be contributing... just curious does anyone here experience this?

I never have, but the wife always gets that on antibiotics - not that she takes them often, but every few+ years.

Kick them. Go Chuck Norris on them. You have my permission.

Still unwell... been on antibiotics for 6 days now and still feel roughly the same. The phlegm-iness has mostly gone, but still bad nausea. Gonna see out the 10 days of meds... but I've heard that alot of people actually feel nauseous as a side effect of antibiotics... that may be contributing... just curious does anyone here experience this?

Hadn't moved all day so felt I needed to; did some yoga, mobility exercises, and karate stuff (including some of skribs' exercises in his recent thread). Feel bit better

I have a terrible reaction to antibiotics - I feel your pain. After both my surgeries, the antibiotics made me so sick, the doctor made an executive decision to pull me off them - because they were slowing down my recovery. She just let me duke it out on my own in terms of potential infection, despite my impaired immune system - that's how bad my reaction to antibiotics was. So, you are absolutely not alone in this.

 

[AngryHobbit]

That is AWESOME!!
Congratulations to Jacob

That trophy is taller than he is

It's not the size, mate, it's how you use it!

It depends on the antibiotic. I felt lousy for weeks when I had the tick bite stuff, felt a little better. But I did not feel better until I finished the antibiotics I was on.

Ah wow.. thanks guys. Yeah it's quite possible then... I only have like two days left on them so hopefully things settle, my system just feels so messed up... and I feel practically the same as when I started them..

Have upped my immune boosting arsenal for the time being (greens powder, zinc tablets, vitamin c).

Ps. @AngryHobbit I reckon you'd love kinesiology sessions (the name is a bit misleading, it sounds like university study of biomechanics and anatomy, but applied kinesiology is different), dunno if you've ever tried it, but wowza they are revealing and powerful

Fitting it in the trailer for the 19 hour drive was not fun.

[granfire]

I just don't have time or money to add anything to my health regiment right now. I wish I could make time and budget for just basic massage and accupuncture, but there's not enough of me or the budget to go around. It sounds interesting.

Well, I'm eating a whole lot of dumplings....vegetable and pork.....16 to be exact.....was in the mood for dumplings today....of course, I'm in the mood for dumplings just about any day...

Been wicked hot here, too, even for the tropics. Uncomfortably hot.
