Re: Re: pre-op meds-Lori

[Guest guest]

thanks Lori for your input ! I developed a severe reaction to the

Prednesolone yesterday and the doctor told me to stop taking it

immediately. But he thinks it might have done it's job already as I

have less dizziness and neckpain. So I hope that was enough .

HI, the antibiotics are so you dont have any infection present during

your surgery and the steriod-Prednesolone is to calm any

inflamation

down before hand also. The Nystatin mixed with the other meds is

known at s Magic Potion and that is a very common medication

around here. Basically you have thrush in your mouth from the

antibiotics you have been taken and this will help with that. It is

not uncommon for doctors to recommend that patients swallow this

solution since you might have this fungus all the way down to your

stomach. And yes you are correct that the steriods are what is making

your neck feel better. They are great for inflamation. The Augmention

wouldnt have anything to do with "lessening your brain fog" nor

would the Nystatin. Good luck with your surgery!!!!
