Not too bad, I'll be taking my very last dose of antibiotics tonight. Looking forward to not swallowing eight pills a day anymore

[–] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 5 points 1 year ago

That is certainly a cause for celebration, that's a lot of pills to have to take daily and in particular usually there's a not-so-great aftertaste from antibiotics that I tend to dislike too haha

Antibiotics are brutal. My wife had an antibiotic resistant infection last year and had to do 3 rounds of different antibiotics. It fucked up her stomach so bad that she couldn't eat anything without gagging/vomiting. It took a month or two to be able to eat anything other than bananas, yogurt, and protein shakes. And it took her about 6 months to get back to being able to eat anything she wants.

Yes, they can be pretty full on. Glad to know she eventually made a full recovery. These ones messed up my appetite too, but I'm confident I'll bounce back quickly.
