i looked it up. its true. fishmox is 250mg tabs of amoxicillin. i am so going to get some of that for when the zombies come.

holy shizzit!

Amazon.com: Fish Mox (Amoxicillin) 250mg, 100 Capsules: Kitchen & Dining

and cephalexin, penicillin, ampicillin, and..... crazy!

I have a fear that the purification methods for fishmox are not as good as those for human amoxil....

Ummmm, OK. I didn't suggest anything illegal or even immoral, but if you want to pretend it is and go waste a doctors time only to get a scrip for the exact same crap you could have just bought off the shelf......well, that's your choice.

I think you're greatly overestimating the purification methods used for the human consumption variants. I've used fishmox many times without a problem.

Don't kiss the "ladies o the night" anymore!

Just don't forget the medication baths... And it's 250mg's for each 10 gallons of water you consume.

Wasting a doctors time? I'm sorry I don't like taking my health into my own hands... When you build up a tolerance to the antibiotics b/c you have been taking too much... Let us all know so we can point and laugh....

In an emergency/apocalyptic situation I'd be right there with you. Something like this. I'm not about to self medicate....

hah. i bet its even better. people are crazy about their pets.

I guess we have different priorities. The last time I saw a doctor for a non-emergency related issue was for him to scratch his head and tell me that he had no idea what was wrong and send me home with amoxycillin. $400 later and I was in the same place I could have been for $30 at a pet shop.

It's not like I use it wantonly, probably 3-4 times in the last 5 years. If I'm still able to make the decision, I'll more than likely make the decision to forego a doctor visit.

It's related to allergies and sinus drainage. Like canker sores they're one of those misunderstood anomalies that get set off by allergies, stress, and/or immune issues.
They behave exactly like canker sores but appear back on your tonsillar area. It's very normal to have the pain in your ear associated with it, but just why I've never understood. Maybe the proximity of nerves, etc.

After 20 years of on again, off again, and sometimes severe congestion and conditions related, such as sinus infections I finally tested and discovered on my own that I have a pretty chronic sinus reaction to drinking milk, and I like milk a lot. Since I switched to almond milk in January my sinus issues have subsided and I've had no more of those ulcers in my throat, and mine would look just like that photo.

The web is of little help. Just like canker sores there's relatively little definitive info.

Warm salt water DOES help.
Usually takes 5-10 days to dissipate.

Hmm... That would explain the giant sore... Whats behind it is what has me worried though.


And I know its not a milk problem... I avoid that, I have lactose issues I know.

If I was going to be out that kind of money I might think of it differently. But if I go through the school nurse I will be out $5 bucks plus w/e scrips. So maybe $50 bucks if I get some killer meds.

If I don't go through the school it will be on my folks insurance and not much more. I think $15 copay then the meds.

You have intestinal polyps, get a colonoscopy.

Bahahaha!



No!

Looks like a STD.

I wish... Then at least part of it would have been fun...

When I first saw the pic, I KNEW this was going to be a good thread! :p

I try my best not to disappoint Lee!

$400? I am doing something wrong.

Thats what I was thinking... Even with the best meds at full tilt that still seem high...
