Antibiotics

For the first time in a long time, I'm taking antibiotics, seeing as this sinus infection is not going away and it's something I don't want to mess around with. I try very hard to avoid taking antibiotics if possible. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that they exist when you need them to kill off bad bacteria, it's just the killing off of the good bacteria and the resistane that over use produces that makes them undesirable for me, unless they are absolutely necessary. I started them yesterday and my body is already letting me know it's not happy. Here's a little glimpse into what's started going on -

Stomach - "Grrrrr, grrrrr, growl, growl, gurgle."

Head - "Oh stomach, you're such a drama queen! Knock it off and give her a break!"

Stomach - "Hey, I gave her a break for alot of years when she was putting lots of stuff in me that I didn't care for but YOU kept telling her she wanted! Now it's all about me baby."

Head - "Uh, hello! It's not like she has a choice here, she has an infection and I'm the one with the brain in it that we don't want to mess with."

Stomach - (Mocking head) "Uh, hello! Don't you read? The digestive system pretty much has a brain of it's own!"

Head - "You're such a jerk! Why do you have to be like that?"

Stomach - "That's just how I roll."

Head - "Can't we all just get along?"

Stomach - "Grrrrr, grrrrr, growl, growl, gurgle - BURP!"

Head - "Oh, now that's just rude!!"

Stomach - "Shut up!"

Head - "No - YOU shut up!"

Oy, it's going to be a long ten days.
