HI kami,
Clindamycin is a common rx for oral surgery. Make sure you supplement with a probiotic to keep your intestines healthy. Just don't take them at the same time ....... usually an hour or more apart is good and you only need to supplement with the probiotic 1-2 times a day.
I can understand their reluctancy to introduce a foreign matter (bone graft) into your bone due to your health history. Your body is less likely to reject your own bone. I hope this surgery goes alot better than the last one!!
Please keep us posted on how you are doing!!'

About the bone "harvesting"n I did ask about cadaver bone, coral or a synthetic implant.
I was turned down flat; they (the surgical group?) felt that they had the best outcome
with a patient's own bone. Just a lot more pain and another scar.
I was extremely nervous about the possibiltiy of two infections aftert the surgery.
Happily there was only one, at the site of the sutures, not the bone(s).
I will enquire about the immune boosting IV; I am in a difficult spot as my system
seems to be overly active with the immune system attacking nerve myelin and brain
tissue. I take Avonex weekly ( interferon-beta 1a) to depress my immune system and
slow the advance of the Multiple Sclerosis.
Thank you for the links to sites. I will do some more research before the proceedure.
I will post back later with any results. All the best, kami
