• And now . . .

  I tested positive for strep.  Because I’ve been on an 875mg dose of amoxicillin, they jumped me to Amox-Clav.  I’ve been sick pretty much all year and the current antibiotics are not helping.  I also have what I was dreading: bronchitis.  I begged not to be put on steroids again.  I can’t take any more drug induced emotional swings from my normally non-drug induced emotional life. 

  And I’m infectious.  People at work can get my cooties and I bet I gave this to people at the gym.  Ugh.

  It took a while to get my script because of discussion about my tendonitis.  Apparently some antibiotics can cause tendon damage!  I’m already dealing with psoas tendonitis.  These antibiotics combined with steroids apparently can cause an even greater chance of tendon damage so disclose disclose disclose.  To get sick so often after hip arthroscopy?  Not helping my physical therapy!!!!
