Antibiotics ( are they really all good) ?????

so us fowler's girls know all about antibiotics but i will quickly explain them to you so antibiotics are used to treat or prevent some types of bacterial infections they work by killing bacteria or preventing them from reproducing and spreading.

since January 2016 i have had 43 lots of antibiotics i seem to have infection after infection which have a suprapubic catheter doesn't help as you risk for infection is higher with a catheter and then i have been having utis since being 3 years old so i I am very prone to infections 9 times out of 10 I leave my gp with a prescription for antibiotics every time   i go  and let's face it to many antibiotics really are not good for us they have horrible side effects yes we need to take them but many times iv been to the gp they have tested my pee and say I have a infection so give me antibiotics and then when I phone for my results it's clear so I ha taken a good few days of antibiotics for nothing thus has happened so many times and I have become allergic to some antibiotics because you take them that many times your body just says no I don't want them no more but if they give us the antibiotics when we actually need them we could prevent this maybe not forever but for longer.I am now going to tell you a little about different antibiotics and the side effects they have.

1. trimethoprim i have been on this for as long as i can remember side effects are feeling or being sick and itchy skin rash and thrush.

2. fosfomycin side effects are diarrhea, nausea, vaginitis, itching of the genital area and pain during intercourse.

3.nitrofurantoin also lost count of how many times i have taken this side effects are feeling or being sick, loss of appetite, diarrhea, feeling dizzy or sleepy, itchy rash.

4.ciprofloxacin also had this many times side effects are feeling or being sick and diarrhea.

5. levofloxacin side effects are nausea or vomiting, headache, diarrhea and constipation.

6.cefalexin i am now allergic to this as i have had it that many times my body doesn't want it anymore side effects are diarrhea, indigestion, stomach ache or upset and thrush.

7.ceftriaxone side effects are black tarry stools, chest pain, chills, cough, fever, painful or difficult urination, shortness of breath, sore throat, sores, ulcers, white spots on lips or in mouth, swollen glands, unusual bleeding or bruising, unusual tiredness or weakness.

8. azithromycin side effects are diarrhea, feeling or being sick, stomach ache, wind, headache, lack of appetite, feeling of deafness.

9. doxycycline side effects are stomach upsets, indigestion, tummy pain, diarrhea, headache, other aches and pains, yeast infections, dry mouth, throat irritation, feeling anxious and increased sweating.

10.augmentin been on this so many times side effects are diarrhea, feeling or being sick, redness and itching in the mouth or vagina, drop in blood pressure and dizziness.

so as you can imagine whats its like to just have a couple of days with these antibiotics now imagine been on them long term the side effects just get worse and worse when i take augmentin i get so dizzy i can hardly move for a week a lot of us fowler's girls have to take prophylactic antibiotics which are a premedication which is a precaution against infection while most people don't need to take this step to avoid infections but we do as we need to protect our urinary organs especially our kidneys.

so when you think your friend just has to take a course of antibiotics its not that simple many of the times we are on antibiotics leave us feeling so poorly and sometimes we need to be admitted to hospital.

i really hope u enjoyed the blog entry on antibiotics if there is any subjects you would like me to cover just let me know
