Antibiotics. An awful dilemma

Not all antibiotics are HDACi. Which antibiotics will they give you?

Hang in there mate I know how worried u must be, being forced down the drug route it is a huge fear. I used oral antibiotic mouthwash 5 years ago when they grafted my gums and I was OK. I was in a much better position then though with only a few sensitivities. U might ok with it i :pray: for you my friend. Sometimes using things for the 1st time is OK, returning to stuff is much worse, just from experience

I don’t know which they want to putnme on I’d imagine amxicillan. Please tell which kinds are not

Thanks laz. Im using the wash right now although the infection is deep in my gums and the wash isnt touching it at all. I’m slightly crashed on it my joints are popping again. But the stress has me in a horrible derealization/no sleep state. I did not sleep last night for second and my intrusive racing thoughts/images are back. Like having a televison channel flipping in my head and repeated music on a loop. I’m only praying they can remove these teeth without resorting to antibiotics because I can not see that going well for me at all

Sorry mateci can relate. It often feels like a new horrible state but it will pass and you’ll be back to your baseline. How many times!!! Its super tough I know but try to know its not permanent I hope u get through it without the need for a bionics.

Please update. Did you take the antibiotics? How are you holding up?

I figured that you already read that it was amoxicillin that I couldn’t tolerate. I was offered azithromycin for the bone graft which I have been holding off on.

I have spoken with someone who crashed from antibiotic eye drops but they’ve fully recovered, just to put it out there.

Haven’t taken them no I’m.still on a wait list for the surgery i need 2 teeth pulled. Been pounding advil to keep the swelling and pain down. There is literally no way i can take antibiotics. That last crash nearly crippled me and put me in a hell beyond my worst imaginable nightmare and it was off a grain of sand amount of sodium butyrate. A full course of antibiotics I may aswell write my will

do you know for sure that the antibiotics they will give you have the same properties?

Not even the world’s best scientists could tell you.

I know that a severe case here who used more common antibiotics without incident, but worsened dramatically and hasn’t recovered from taking one pill of an antibiotic used for treating a rare skin disease but also acne.

For me, this thread highlights one of the biggest worries of PFS that can’t be ignored.

Well I know I said I’d be off here for a cppl weeks but today something troubling happened. Since my crash my breath has been really bad I just attributed to swamp mouth that I get time to time. Except earlier today i noticed behind my molar there is a hole in my gums that is clearly infected and my gums are swollen and hard. There is no pain but it’s for sure an infection. So I’m back here again. Facing my worst fear. My worst dellemma. I am certain I will be recommended antibiotics. I’m trying to stay calm. As it honestly truly seems like being punshied for something from a past life at this point. Uponnmy recent crash, my break up, my insane symptoms. Now this. But I’ve decided I will simply not be taking them. If I have halitosis forever and my head rotts off then so be it. If there is the possibility they can remove the tooth (which is impacted and embedded in my jaw) I will go through with this major surgery and major financial burden in hopes they can cut and clean out any infection. I’ll endure that pain and bone loss and protracted recovery because im 38 and not 17 whne most ppl have wisdom teeth out.

But antibiotics are simply not an option for me. I think eventually something will take me off this earth and into the stars but not yet.

I feel like im annoying on here and I’m.sorry.

Never annoying. Your sharing the story of your path. I’ve woke up to these holes too. Personally I think it’s the immune system attacking the tissue, its often accompanied by the further loosening of skin which u recently described. .Try gargling with Himilayan salt. Ive been using it lately in small amounts it helps the adrenals too. I used the recommended amount initially which was foolish. Good luck.

Thank you bruv I’ve been gargling salt like mad. My gums are certainly in bad shape . So thin. Luckily the blood I can suck from the hole seems to be a lot less maybe that’s a good thing idk. Ive just simply decided I’m not taking antibiotics ever and if that kills me in the end so be it. But I wont suffer that crash cause I know it would be the end of my mobility and sanity. Laz you are truly a gift to this forum a we are all so appreciative of you. God speed fellow sufferer on our journey. I will post the outcome of my visit tomorrow

Thanks man, keep us posted I pray for you

Update

Yep it’s infected. And I’m sensing due to the surface area of the swelling that it’s the wisdom tooth the molar beside it and where I had my other removed is all infected in the tissue. There is no pain but there is pus and swelling and a foul smell. Im feeling like its all infected Im hoping thats not the case but i kinda can feel it is. She says i wont need antibiotics if they remove the tooth are are able to clean everything out. This is my best case scenario. Either way im looking at a few grand for this wonderful procedure .The earliest consultation I could get with a surgeon is at the end of May. Until then I have a mouthwash to use and prayer it doesn’t spread or get worse

What was the common antibiotic that didn’t effect them?

Doxycycline - He felt terrible during treatment. Had some head pressure, but all things went back to baseline after he stopped taking it.
Ceftriaxone - Only had diarrhea for a while. Well tolerated.
Amoxicillin (?) - He said he thought he took this one too for a dental procedure. Can’t confirm. Whatever it was, he had zero side effects. This is what I got for a dental abscess cleaning, too. Personally, one of these fucked me for a few months in terms of bringing my NMN supplement-induced dysphagic symptoms back. It also brought back other symptoms for only a day or so.

If it weren’t for the NMN, I think my life would be a lot different. I pray that you will get through this one, hippydoof.
