My dentist told me long ago, not to take antibiotics with milk. Somehow keeps them from working properly. Don't remember what the particular antibiotic was but it was for an abscessed tooth.

Wouldn't normally bother them with something like this, but the rate of progression was worrying me. I really didn;'t want it going into my jawbone or something hideous.

I have a very badly abcessed tooth, and this has triggered the infection in the rest of my mouth. So, am now on two different anti-biotics and ibuprofen, and under strict instruction to phone my dentist tomorrow and get them to see me this week.

Couldn't chew food again today. So, in order to fulfil the 'with food' instructions, I necked a bottle of chocolate milk. That seemed to be ok. Took the ibuprofen at same time. hakf an hour later was able to manage half a tin of macaroni cheese.

God Bless Heinz. The saviour of convalescents and dickheads who don't go to the dentist when they should.
I feel for you and feel for you having to do the macaroni and cheese trick.

I have been going through this the last week. The dentist wasn't able to pull it due to the pain of the infection. * drat * now which makes me freaked plus referred me to a surgeon due to it being close to my sinus cavity. * Then why did he try to pull it to begin with!* sigh- I am almost finished with the antibiotics and it still hurts to eat.
I think I will ask for Sodium Penathol because I don't think this simple pull will be so simple.

The last tooth I had pulled WAS so simple. This one hurts and in a strange your descriptions make me feel better. I thought the jaw pain was worriesome so I'm not as worried now. You know they say misery loves company.

Lastly, Nobody sign up for Willamette Dental. It's what I get for choosing the cheapest plan. I wait a whole month for someone 60 miles away to pull my tooth.

I loose my insurance altogether in 3 months.

Was just going to say the same thing--milk coats the intestines (just like it coats your tongue when you drink it) and prevents proper absorption of most drugs (and many food nutrients too, but that's a different thread.) But if you got some relief, enough must have gotten through. Just remember, back before antibiotics, an abscessed tooth was a common cause of death. Keep that sucker in check with the meds, Dana.

oh. Oh dear. *winces* Ill be careful on the next lot then. I daresay it won;t stop them working entirely though, so it won;t have been a complete waste. Still, no sense taking further chances. I'll just make sure I time them for a little after the painkillers in future. Once they've kicked in I can stand to eat a little.


@ Sky. Oww, honey that sounds awful. God that makes mine sound much less nightmarish, the whole dentist thing sounds like it was an ordeal. lol there ye go we both made each other feel better :P





[eta] googled advice and it doesn't seem to be a factor with these two anti-biotics. No conclusive answer though. Will still avoid if poss.

Umm...not sure what the fuck was going on this week. After I seemed to be getting better (tuesday? somethinglike that, I lost track) and ate food without puking...few hours later: bang back again to the puking every hour or so, only able to take in liquids, no energy, no ability to watch anything, read anything, do anything. Just drifted in and out of a haze for days, feeling like shit. Gave up on the anti-biotics entirely, but was still ill.

God bless complan, diurilytes and Mum.

Made an appointment *pleased with self*. Can't see me til Tuesday. Probably just as well. I'd have just yakked all over their surgery if I'd gone an sooner lol.

My dentist is a hell of a travel away. Worth it though. They specialise in dental phobic patients. Which is good, 'cause otherwise my teeth really would be falling out my head.

Bri, you know and I know this is temporary.
You've been through the shit and survived it, and you won't be there forever.

Alcohol is a poison - okay in lower quatities and with amusing side effects, but not in the quantities we are capable of ingesting. But its effects don't last forever, just longer than the morning after that casual drinkers limp through.

You're walking wounded at the moment, going through hell. Dry out, get your medication sorted (seriously, they should have you on something that takes alcohol into account, like acamprosate - which I am still hoping to be offered)

I've taken myself off anti-depressants before. It's not a smart thing to do you know. I hope the new doctor works well with you. Be completely honest with him/ her.

Good luck darling.
I hope you can find yourself in all the chaos. I'm still here if you want to contact me. And I believe in you even if you can't believe in yourself at the moment. You've believed in me when I thought I had nothing to offer after all.

thanks, everyone. You are all very kind.

to add insult to injury, someone stole my account number and charged (fraudulently) 480.00 to my debit card, Via PAY PAL making me twice in the hole plus the 480...

sigh. I hope those fukers rot in hell.
