Morning!
So as the title suggests I've come down with a cold (boohoo!). I first started feeling ill on Thursday after uni and had the usual head pain, sore throat and temperature fluctuation. I went to the doctor the Friday and he prescribed me Clarithromyocin because I didn't want Augmentim because that gives me some nasty side effects. Let me tell you, for anyone out there who has a bacterial infection, do not allow your doctor under any circumstances to prescribe you Clarithromyocin! I took my first pill the morning I had come back from the doctor (after eating of course) and I had bad gastrointestinal side effects. If I could have taken my stomach out at that point I would have. On the second day, I started experiencing head-aches, I'd get suddenly very hot and I couldn't sleep. On day three, I had complete insomnia and I was only sleeping for a few minutes at a time. During the minutes I slept, I'd hear the voices of my mum and brother calling out to me although no one had ever been near my room. Apparently that's one of the uncommon side effects. I'm now meant to take my second last pill and seriously with all these side effects I'm sticking my cold out or until I go to the doctor for another prescription of antibiotics which I don't want. Usually I have no adverse reactions to antibiotics except Augmentin but this has had to top the cherry on the cake with the most amount of side-effects I've ever had to endure. Why anyone would prescribe an antibiotic like this is beyond my understanding. With that being said, this is why I haven't been posting, it sucks to receive medication that isn't really working for me at all. I don't feel better in the slightest and I don't want anymore antibiotics screwing with my immune system *sigh*
I hope everyone is having a much healthier day than me!
Till we meet again!
Bye Bye!
