Why I refuse to take anitbiotics. Call it paranoia, but we should have seen this coming. I just thought I’d throw this one out there since it’s especially fitting today, as I am, indeed, home sick. Yes, it’s true. Normally, I have to be bleeding out of my eyes to take a sick day (the last full sick day I took was solely based on doctor’s orders, and that was when my heart was acting up last summer). Alas, I am truly ill today, and I was up all night feeling, quite frankly, like I wanted to die. However, I will not take antibiotics for this, because I have not taken antibiotics since I was 16. Here’s my theory: One day, I will actually depend on an antibiotic for something, and I don’t want to waste them on crap like this which will run its course with or without pharmaceutical aid. Sorry if none of this makes sense, but while I’m not taking something to rid my body of its evil bacteria, I am on plenty of over-the-counter sinus and flu medication. I still feel like crap, but I’m so high on NyQuil that I just don’t care.
