Gillie, I can't tell you about how long you should take an antibiotic, most importantly how strong is the dosage and what are the side effects? I believe the longer you're on it
the more likely one is to have a reaction. I told earlier that I fell on Sept 16, had surgery on my right ankle on the 18th and the incision have yet to heal. The wound care unit told me that the slow healing was due to diabetes and high blood pressure (both of which I have under control)! I'm now on first 30 day trip in hyperbaric chamber..........healing is taking place, and they also have done skin grafts. I'm not suggesting that is what you need to look at, rather if you might have a condition that may be aggravating the healing process. My best to you, and please keep us updated!! Hugs, janh ________________________________ From: Gillian Clark <mingalett...@activ8.net.au> To: TM list <tmic-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Thu, February 10, 2011 3:14:57 AM Subject: [TMIC] antibiotics G'day all, I'm looking for some advice. Almost 8 weeks ago, I had a nasty fall, gashed my leg and spent a night in hospital getting almost every test known to man or beast. The gash has still not healed, getting there, and I'm about to be put on yet another course of antibiotics. It has not taken me long has it for this to suddenly spark a little something in my poor old brain. I'm thinking that being on continuous antibiotics for 8 weeks is not what a tm patient should be doing. I look forward to any and all suggestions. Many thanks in advance Hugs Gilly.
