Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 OK I am going to do some b_ _ _ _ing her so if you don't want to listen to it then you better stop here! Ok about 2 or 3 weeks ago had strep throat well when we found out I told the nurse that does the culture I think she should be on Ceftin because she is know to be a carrier of steph and that is the only thing that has worked for her. Well, she asked the doctor about it and he said well I think amoxacillin will work fine. Well, her we are once again with strep!!! So today I said I want Ceftin!!! Please tell the doctor we want Ceftin obviously the Amoxacillin did not work so this time will the Please give me Ceftin (I tried to keep my cool which can be really hard sometimes when they think us Mom's don't know diddly squat!!) So I go to the pharmacy to pick up the medication and it was a really long word that kind of sounded like Ceftin and I asked the pharmacist is this the long name for Ceftin and he said NO! And I asked I don't want this I told them I want Ceftin!!! The poor pharmacy got an ear full which I am sure he didn't want but by that time I have had enough and told him I will not take this I asked for Ceftin I know it will work for her so could you please talk to the doctor so he can will order it. Well, he did!!! But it makes me so mad that some doctors try to pull crap like this on us!!! We know our kids enough by now to know what works and what doesn't!! I think they just like us coming back so it is more money in there pockets!! WHICH IS CRAP!!! And to top everything else off I think she has PINK EYE!!! Which sounds to me like it came from the strep!!!! RRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! So I will be running her in probably tomorrow to get drops for her eyes!! Unless someone else one here has some other remedy to help this????? If you made it this far through this b_ _ _ _ y letter well THANKS FOR LISTENING TO ANOTHER VENTING SESSIONS!!!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Dear Deb., YOU are soooooooooo right !! I hear this all the time. I will say that having Lois here in our place , she tells the docs, what is best & almost to a fault-----the mom is right. They even call her for consultations. We cant change an RX but that sure holds allot of weight even she tells them. YOu keep specking up & if you have to go so far ------change docs or ask for another in the group so you don't have to change clinics-------if that is possible. Our clinics here all have several docs so that is possible. Bless you & I sure do P--- for that pink eye to be out a there. Maybe the cefin will help. I have heard your " story " many times by lots of parents too---------- LOVE & HUGS, GRANDMOMBEV Need to let loose here!!!!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 <So today I said I want Ceftin!!! Please tell the doctor we want Ceftin > You are not getting an agrument from me Deb. always would get an sinus infections but he never runs a temperature unless he has developed another complication as well. It used to bust my butt to go in when he had a sinus infection and the pediatrician would send us home because he didn't have a temperature. Several days later when his breath was enough to knock us over or when he had contant snot tracks on his sleeve and headaches, I would take him back and they would say sinus infection. I would hate it when they started him off on amoxicillin becuase it never worked. They would would switch Augmentin and finally when that didn't work then Ceftin. His CF doctor just put on his 5 week of Ceftin. Thank God something still works. When I was resistant to amoxicillin they gave me Kevlex which worked like a charm. jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
