I'm allergic to penicillin, and it sure does blow to be allergic to the "cure all" pill to the point that it could cause me death. I have some sort of ear infection right now, and I always have to get "alternatives" to penicillin (zithromyacin right now), and they give me the shits real bad. Better than dying though. Anybody else share this inconvenient allergy?

Cats and dogs, have 5 cats and 2 dogs.

I don't take meds for it either.

Edit: and cedar trees. Which of course is pretty much the only tree out here.

sucks, and I don't know how an antibiotic gives you the shits real bad, have you talked to your doctor? (I sound like a commercial)

I'm allergic to penicillin too. It sucks...but as you said, there ARE alternatives. Zithromax works just as well for me.

Yeah, that is what I'm taking now and what I normally take. It works fast, but just gives me the worst stomach aches.

4 sets here, the last set the infection was so bad I was on vicodin for a week and when they finally put the tube in the doc said pus spurted out. Luckily the other three were before I was three though, so I don't remember too much from that. Ear pain sucks, I don't envy you.

I'm allergic to pretty much everything under the sun except meds. Grass, trees, mold, all that shit, but I went through allergy shots for three years, and now it's not a problem. I have to say though I think it's better than being allergic to meds, it would really suck to be in such bad shape to a disease that is curable by modern medicine.

It's this damn sterile environment we live in. No kids go and play in the dirt anymore, wet wipes here and showers everyday there. If we all weren't so health aware we would be much healthier.

that makes me break out into hives....i was down to my boxers in my friends front yard before i finally went and got a cortazone (sic) shot.


@FM-12 years of swim team, and a nasty infection each year....its why i had to stop swimming.
deaf in my right ear, and at some point im going to have to get the scar tissue dealt with where they cut my fucking ear off my head.....twice. thankfully the only cut is on the back and they folded my ear over, but some days the scar tissue flares up, and even temperature changes can KILL...those days out in the sun can start to suck really quick.

ah well, we each have our weaknesses. my ears are mine...

amoxicillin in liquid form is a tasty treat.  Best part of ear infections when I was a kid was that sweet dose of the pink.

Well that's why you like guns so much, the sound doesn't bother you.

I really don't like loud sounds. Loud music, gunshots, it's just uncomfortable. Apparently after one of the sets of tubes when I was small our clock went off on its hourly chime and it scared the shit out of me because I had never really heard it before.

Did you never wear earplugs when you swam?

I itch sometimes. I told a doctor that once and he said that really wasn't an allergy and don't worry about. Epic lulz

I have a cabinet full of pain killers and prescription anti-inflammatory meds (ruptured disc in my spine). I have a weak stomach and most of them make me sick.

i wore SO many sets. in fact, i even went to the doctor and had multiple sets molded to my ears.
the problem was that i swam competitively. it didnt matter what i did, as soon as i hit the water, the force knocked one or both loose....i didnt give a shit, i wanted to win.

looking back, i wouldnt trade the hearing in my right ear for those memories, ever....nor my ribbons and trophies.

its weird though, my left ear has adapted to my right ear not hearing. i can hear airplanes and helicopters a good minute before other people...and there are certain sounds that actually hurt my ear. not necessarily loud, just certain pitches and tones.



edit:
and flying....LET ME TELL YOU. it is SO much fun...
the last time i went to DC, i passed out and woke up to the flight attendant asking me if i was ok....im like, "ya, why?".
then i felt the blood running down my neck....scared the living shit out of me.
pressure change FTL....as far as im concerned.

The program's seven listed drugs are available for free for anyone with a prescription. You don't need any insurance, and there's no limit to the number of prescriptions you can fill for free.

- The deal applies for supplies lasting up to 14 days, but the company is willing to honor a valid prescription refill.

- If you are allergic to the listed drugs, you can't have substitutes for free.

That's the primary reason why you need a prescription for an anti-biotic. To prevent overuse and more resistant strains of infections.

= mrsa

people take antibiotics when they aren't needed so natural selection leads to rapid evolution of a strain that is immune to everything we throw at it

and then everyone freaks out about the new strain like it's ultra lethal or something

if people would learn that a scratch on the arm isn't cause for an immediate prescription of methicillin maybe we wouldn't have to deal with the occasional serious case of MRSA
