On antibiotics, but getting sick, why?
I am currently taking 2000mg of amoxocillan twice a day, 1000mg of biaxin twice a day and Prilosec one time a day. This is to treat h. Pylori, that I somehow contracted, and a current stomach ulcer I have forming. I took my doctors advice and stopped eating and drinking things that could irritate it, but still feel sick. I have also been taking a probiotic daily as well. I have about 4 more days of my 2 week course of antibiotics left, and now I have this nasty dry cough, runny nose and my chest feels raw. Almost like heartburn, but more of a raw feeling from the coughing. I have taken musinex in hopes of getting whatever is in me out, but it is not helping. So my question is, can you get sick while on antibiotics? Do I have a cold or possibly another bacterial infection forming?
3 AnswersRespiratory Diseases7 years agoWhat is wrong with me?
Why am I so depressed lately? All I ever think about is suicide. I have already attempted suicide and was hospitalized for it. I have been abusing alcohol and constantly have promiscuous thoughts (I don't act on them though). It seems like whatever I try, nothing helps. I have been taking my anti-depressants and they have not helped at all. I have no interest in school or work and they are both suffering severely. I have tried talking to my parents and friends about this, but everyone keeps telling me to stop feeling sorry for myself and get over it. I really do not know what to do anymore. It seems like everything I do is wrong and everyone views me as a screw up. I have been doing stupid things lately and I don't know why. I have lost friends because of this behavior and have lost trust from many others. I really wish someone would just listen and help me... I don't know if I can do it anymore.... I can't sleep and I can't eat... I just feel like I am a waste of a person and don't belong on this earth... Someone please help me...
6 AnswersMental Health8 years agoAm I being paranoid or is there something wrong here (with him)?
So this guy and I have been on and off. Recently on. At first everything was great, we were hanging out and doing things we did when we were dated (not exclusive right now). He used to always come over and hangout, regardless how tired he may have been or what his plans were. He got a job recently and works long hours. I understand that working 10 -12 hour shifts is going to make you tired and not want to do much of anything. When he first started he would still come over, but in the last month he has been being kind of distant. I would usually see him 3-4x a week and now I am lucky if I see him once a week. He has also been being rude lately. He has always had his moments, but lately more so than most.
Example: I asked him if he would like to hang out tonight and this is how the conversation went
Me: So want to hang out tonight?
Him: No sleepy time
Me: This early? Tomorrow?
Him: Sick, fighting off head cold. Work home, plans all week.
Me: Wow direct and straight to the point. .
Him: Always am.
Me: Ehh, not always. Depends on your mood.
Him: Right if I need observations on myself in future I'll ask
I said something, he corrected my grammar and then said bye.
Pretty much this is how it has been going lately. He has moments when he is nice and then others where he is a complete utter jerk. We talked the other night and he said he has been depressed for awhile now. I don't know if that is a valid excuse or just a reason to be rude.
(He does seem on the down side and friends have vouched for him)
Long story short, what is up?

1 AnswerHomework Help9 years agoSevere constipation for 9 days, help?
I have only gone to the bathroom maybe three times in 9 days and I normally go 5-6x daily. Went to the ER yesterday and they gave me magnisium citrate and only went once, but not with ease. They told me I am backed up and it is partially in my small intestine. Went to my primary doctor today and she gave me a suppository and I have only been able to go once as well. I am extremely bloated, my body is sore all over (especially in the flank area), I can not eat, feel weak, dizzy/light headed and nauseous. Should I go back to the ER tomorrow if I am still unable to go or give it a few more days?
I overall feel horrible, joints are very sore and it's sometimes hard to walk.
Serious answers only please ! Thank You.
2 AnswersInfectious Diseases9 years agoWhat is an adderall high?
I take adderall for ADHD and i've had people tell me how they sometimes use it to focus or to get high. I've never had any negative side effects besides dry mouth and decrease in appetite. It just helps me concentrate and not get side tracked. So how exactly does adderall effect someone who does not have ADHD and how does it make you high?

My birthday falls on a Sunday this year so I will only really have one night to go out. Anyways, I was wondering in Kansas if you can get into a bar/club a few hours before you are legally 21 instead of waiting until midnight.
9 AnswersBeer, Wine & Spirits9 years agoCover up tattoo questions?
I got this tattoo when I was 18. Thought about it for a long time, but now I am just
over it and think it was a dumb decision. I have been wanting to get lilies tattooed
on me for awhile now. Not only because they are beautiful but also because they
have great meaning behind them. Long story short, do you think it is possible to use
this design as a cover up. I wasn't sure if it was too small or what not.
Current Tattoo:

1 AnswerTattoos10 years agoDoes anyone know where I can order/buy a size 1g taper ?
I have had my ears stretched down to 00 but now I just can't seem to get past the 2g stretching stage. The 0 hurts way too much to get in no matter what I do and I really would not like to cause a blowout. I have heard there is such thing as a 1g taper, but would really rather not pay the outrageous prices that my piecing shops in town offer.
1 AnswerTattoos10 years agoCan someone please explain to me what truly goes through a guys head?
I really do not understand what guys are thinking ! I'm one of those girls that when i'm in a relationship I give my all and truly try to earn there trust and make it more than just a fling kind of thing, but they always seem to end at the two month mark. Why are guys so stupid to not realize what they have in front of them is something special and could possibly amount to something ? Seriously every time I talk to someone they lead me on for a few weeks and then after they get or don't get what they want they leave ! I know this may be a dumb question, but seriously what the hell is wrong with them and how can you weed out the bad ones to find that right one for you ? I'm pretty much to the point where i'm tired of trying and the funny thing is i'm not looking, they come to me !

4 AnswersTattoos1 decade agoIs my hip surface piercing rejecting?
I have had my hips pierced for a year now and like two weeks ago I noticed that a little patch of skin on the lower half of the bar was drying and flaking off. I fixed the problem but now it came back and it scabbed up. After i got out of the shower the scab fell off and some tissue looking stuff came out (pink). It doesn't hurt at all and it doesn't look like it is rejecting, ive been cleaning it daily and it seems to be getting better, but my question is, has anyone else ever experienced this and if so what ended up happening to the piercing?
And before you tell me to see a piercer to get a professional opinion, which i was planning to on saturday, i just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this.
