Hi btdt,

I am so sorry you are going through such hell. But please know that this post is not dead. I am the only one here who can offer you professional dental information. I am only a volunteer here so I fit this into my schedule when I can.

Your case is very complicated for many reasons and one of them is because I think you have other dental issues that you are not disclosing here and/or that you are not aware of.

The repeated antibiotics are going to make you seriously ill. It is a huge misconception that antibiotics can be the cure all for all infections. The only way for an antibiotic to get to the source of the infection is to first kill off all of the protective healthy bacteria and in your case any healthy bacteria that you had is long gone and been replaced with additional unhealthy bacteria. The antibiotic also has to be specifically sensitive to the species of bacteria that is causing the infection. Otherwise, it will not be effective. The only way to know the species of infectious bacteria is to have a sample taken of the bacteria at the site of the infection and have it cultured.

I really don't know how to help you at this point. Early on I gave you suggestions and information based on the information that you had been providing here. I will re read all of your posts and see if I can offer you anything else.

I really feel badly for you. But as long as you are willing to keep accepting the same protocol from your dentists, this situation will only get worse.

in the past the infection has stayed down for shorter and shorter periods of time with this drug my last use of it ended about 3 wks ago... hoping this course gets me to the cat scan date at least.. I find I can't think well guess there is nothing to say so there are no replies or maybe this is a rare thing that people don't know much about.
I see other people are talking here now for awhile I thought maybe this site was just dead. Thanks for posting something so I know it is not dead.
