I feel like I'm approaching normal today, although the Cipro is making me a bit spacey. And I've got a few more days of it to finish the prescription cycle**, which means that I've got a couple more nights of wacky dreams where DT's rubbing his spikey hair on my face. Um...not sexual. Like a cat. Yeah, there's just no way to spin that well, is there?



** Why is it that you have to finish off antibiotics anyway?

ETA: Oh, a bit of research is telling me that you need to build up and sustain the drug level in your body for a certain period of time for it to be completely effective and kill everything off.

And now I know. :D

I guess I didn't realize you needed to give something time to kill it off, even if the symptoms are gone.

Yup. Otherwise, you just breed a bunch of stronger bacteria in your body and maybe pass them along, leading to antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections that tend to kill people. Cheers!

Yup. And you don't want it to come back after you've tried to kill it, cause now you've just pissed it off!

DEFNIITELY don't want that.
