Hi guys,
It's been awhile since I've checked in. There hasn't really been any change since the last time I was here. I stopped losing about 8 months out (DS on 4/24/16) and up until last month, that's where I stayed. I have since gained about 10 pounds and am currently trying to figure that mess out.
Anyway, I am in a slight panic and don't know how to proceed.
Back on April 5th of this year, I had to have an emergency root canal. I'd never had any real dental work other than all my wisdom teeth out when I was 16 yo.
So, I had the work done, antibiotics, etc. I returned a few weeks later to have the crown put on and they cracked the tooth next to it. DOWN TO THE ROOTS! This meant root canal #2! So, again, another round of antibiotics in June for #2. Two weeks ago, I went in because I had an abcess above #2. He wanted to give me clindamycin but he agreed to Keflex. So ANOTHER round of Cephalexin for 10 days and a failed attempt at steroids(I apparently am too sensitive and can't take methylprednisolone either.) Here we are, 13 days later and the abcess is back. Tomorrow I go back and im afraid he will put me on antibiotics AGAIN!
I have been on more AB's in the 20 months since my DS than I can ever remember. To make things worse, I am actually allergic to 90% of AB's out there. I can't take aything in the penicillin family,no sulfa, erythromycin, no cipro. And now, after the DS...even more worries.
I'm terrified all this will end me up with a case of c diff.
ANY advice will be appreciated as I have an 8:00 am appointment tomorrow and didn't know what to do. I can't leave the infection untreated but I don't know what to take. Do I stick with another round of Keflex or go with something stronger since it hasn't worked this last time??? I don't know what to do and I feel like I'm playing Russian Roulette here. How much can my new system take with all these antibiotics? I am on 2 GREAT probiotics 3x daily and have been for a solid year. I eat prebiotic foods to help and after ea round (except this last one) I do a super strong 7-day probiotic powder.
