"Tut. you know they only cause superbugs if you dont' take the full course.."

Erm, no, I didn't know that. Or is that a medico's wind up?

That one you can;t drink with, that'd be Metronidazol wouldn;t it? Which is what I am on.

What dastardly way to have to spend a long weekend....with friends tut tut!

Z is right you know....I'm not supposed to drink on my tablets...but the buzz is too good to miss!!

Antibiotics? They only advise you to stop drinking with _most_ of them because it lessens their effectiveness but of course I can't comment on any particular drug and would never recommend anyone combining alcohol with prescribed medication without of course first checking with their GP

(Do you think I got away with it?)

And besides - you could always have a night on the soft-drink tiles, the pub's gotta make a profit somehow

Yes, if you think about it after half the course the bugs that are left are going to be the ones that are least vunerable to the antibiotice - if you stop now they'll multiply to their hearts contend and you'll get more of them.

If you finish the course there's only a few left and your immune system can finish them off on its own..


Oh and yes it is metronidazole

Grr. Don;t tell me that Z! I wanna drink on Friday
Oh well. Bye bye to that idea.

Gonna sulk now.

Well apparently it causes an instant hangover as it affects alcohol metabolism in the liver...

Just take an oxygen bottle then, have a whiff after every sip

Painkillers might have been better then!!!

Heeehaaayyy....I can fly.......

Woohooooooo!


Oh, no, don't mention the F word - you'll set Z off!

Nope....they both appear to have abandoned us!!

Hmmmn, lunchtime!

Which reminds me - I must away, eat and then get ready for w**k!

Oh Dear...that word again!!!

Ah well, 'tis Friday - for me anyway (I'll be having Good Sunday off though, which is )

Not abandoned, project cascade meetin where they formally tell us all the rumours we've been circulating for the last month.

Have decided I will be a good boy and finish my antibiotics.

Mind you, the only reason I have any left is because I was also taking Amoxycillin up till yesterday morning with the Metronidazol and the the M stuff was a booster for that since it was only partially working on its own. And hence I was on 2 pills a day instead of three, which it would have been if I remembered to wake up at 3am and take the thing

I shall just have to make do with 'cigarettes' instead.

It does appear to be peculiar patterns...but if it pays....*shrug*

It will do if I stick it out for a couple more years

Go for it, Icky!

Icky...do you smoke??

I didn't think any of you smoked in this group...I am now officially a non-smoker...the clinic has now discharged me and if I stay off them for the next 4 months...I will be very unlikely to resume th therapist said!

I'm still here! Must !

W**k calls!

Gosh...those little legs go awfully fast!!

Yup, me is a smoker. Late starter tho, didn't smoke my first ciggy till i was 17, which seems unusual these days.
