Antibiotics for me

9 Replies

After 2 weeks of hell on the hands and them splitting open and almost open wounds when dealing with my hubby the Doc looked at me and went 'what is wrong you look off colour'.Husband pulled my hands out and showed him my leg and instantly script written to make sure I dont get any infections whilst I wait for my 1st, yes first rheumy apointment in 2 weeks.

My hands are so sore and so hot where the sores are and I was feeling awful.

Anyway home for rest of the week and time to rest and get some snoozies in.

Hi Deeb you need to be careful with antibiotics as they damage the gut microbiome killing good and bad bacteria. After you finish your course make sure you eat healthy and add foods that are natural in pre & probiotic in your diet or take a good supplement. This will help re build gut flora.

Hi Frankie we do lots of fresh fish,fruits and salads etc so all good on this front and low gluten in take.
