There are many factors to consider regarding prescribing antibiotics,
depends on the procedure and a person's medical issues. I'm sure you
were given an antibiotic prior to your knee replacement surgery, if
not your doctor is an idiot. If someone has Lupus they will need
antibiotics for nearly every surgical procedure, even dental work
where surgery is involved; extractions, implants, root canal, treating
gingavitus, etc. I already explained in a previous post, yesterday,
for the pinheads I knew would ask stupid questions why I am prescribed
antibiotics, I've already stated I've had a chronic respiratory
condition for more than 20 years that produces excessive mucous in my
airways, I get sinus and bronchial infections regularly. There are
hundreds of chronic conditions that require antibiotic treatment
regularly, some people get chronic eye infections that require
antibiotic eye drops every day of their lives or they'll go blind, I
have two cats that get anitbiotic eyedrops every day, most Asthmatics
get infections from the inhalers they use,the infection is a side
effect of the medication.... most women get yeast infections as a side
effect from taking birth control pills... go know there are so many
moroons here.
I baked 24 jumbo raisin bran muffins first thing this morning, grated
in a big zuke, added applesauce to cut back on the oil, also added
cinnamon, powdered ginger, molasses, and honey. I ate one with butter
still hot from the oven, wonderful. Froze half in a one gallon
zip-loc. Leaves are really turning now, walked out to get some pics
on this bright sunny day.
