Never before have antibiotics been so hard on me. But after five days of misery, I’ve had enough. I’m tired and feel like I haven’t eaten in days, hungry all the time. And today I don’t dare try to drive to the office – an hour is too long to be locked in a car right now – which is the final straw. A call to the dentist yielded agreement about stopping the antibiotics now, two days early. I will likely need to modify my Solstice plans, I don’t expect to be able to hold an all-night vigil in a few days.
