Glad you were able to continue the prescription; though it was of no fault of your own, ceasing antibiotic regimens or inconsistency in their administration is how super-bugs are born.
I've only taken antibacterials once, and they seemed to mess with me a little as well. Hopefully it isn't too bad of a side effect for you.

I am several days into the new regimen. I'm not noticing any of the side effects from the first time, but it is still early. The main infection that I was hoping it would clear up seems to be in remission, so that is a good thing. Technically, I'm supposed to see the doctor in about a week and a half, but I have yet to make the appointment.

That's positive news. If you can keep it stable, then that alleviates the time pressure to some extent.

Don't age, my friend. It's a rhino's bargain. My main medical issue is stalled- which is a very good thing. The secondary, the one that I was concerned over, seems to be regressing slowly. Not great, but good news. Now my tooth is acting up so I am a mess. Combined with a lot of stress today, it has been a poor day.

Good that the medication is working and isn't causing your other issue to flare up again!
I would say to rest up, but the Spring Forward is this weekend, so yeah...
I've been feeling the effects of aging for a little while now. Granted, it's more the karma of a sedentary job & hobbies than anything else, but it's so hard to find time for exercise in adult life, and i'm, already not sleeping like i should, so getting up earlier toe exercise wouldn't work for long.

I really don't exercise anywhere close to what I should. My diet is not terrible anymore, but I do tend to overeat. My job forces me to move at a fairly quick Pace. It's a very high-stress environment, and without the right people I had a panic attack some months ago. I've not gotten anywhere close to that in my current store. That doesn't mean the stress isn't there, but it does mean it's far more tolerable. I can likely attribute a great deal more water in my diet, and the amount of movement my job requires for my healthier state. I should still lose probably about another 100 pounds, but I am in better shape than I have ever been. At least since 4th grade I believe. If I had your job, I likely would be in Far poorer health. Mostly because I'm a lazy turd.

i had a regular exercise routine back when i attended school, but i fell out of that when i was home-schooled for high school.
So apparently it's pretty easy to accidentally give yourself licorice poisoning. Not a big deal for someone of my age & medical history, but fun times...

I did eat the whole bag, but it wasn't big (200g). I actually don't have candy that often; it was just the birthday celebration let me munch w/o noticing how much i was eating (we have 5 march birthdays in my family).

still, I had not thought of any sort of poisoning from treats . . . then again, licorice is somewhat unique.

Yeah, definitely strange. FDA is considering forcing candy makers who use real licorice root extract to put warning labels on their packaging.
Those pre-science medicinal herbs, of which licorice is one, often did have real effect (willow tree bark -> aspirin), but science's rejection of homeopathy and such (entirely justified) does mean that in some cases we're less informed as to the real effects of these things than we might otherwise be.

The point is to let people know what is in their food/candy. I find it perfectly understandable to be careful. Given your recent experience with poisoning, perhaps you have a more intimate familiarity with the idea.
As for homeopathy, I do not fully endorse turning our backs on it. Not because I reject medicine, but because I embrace knowledge. Homeopathy can be helpful in a pinch. Survival situations are the most extreme example, but other situations arise where knowing what might help you from time to time. By no means do I think people should stop taking aspirin . . . but in a pinch, some properly prepared willow bark can help.

Especially in this case since there's definition confusion. That's part of why other products have strict boundaries for allowing certain names to be used to avoid deceiving the public (certain cheeses can only come from certain places, some products must contain at least x% of what they claim to be).
Exactly, the knowledge does have some benefit. Of course, so much of actual homeopathic stuff can't pass even the most basic of placebo trials, so skepticism should always be the default with such things (and don't get me started on this lemon-ginger-mint water detox nonsense that my workplace won't stop promoting...).
