Anti-bioticcs

HammerHeadGym

Hello everyone,

anyone knbow anything about antibiotics? Basically I have to take them for an abcess, but I was told they leave you pretty much zonked and unable to train at your peak, or even close to it.
I am supposed to be fighting on christmas eve, will this be possible. I have only taken them once before and wasn't training at the time so don't really remember the fitness levels.

Any advice??

Thanks

Hi OP , recomend you take a phobiotic supplement as well to counteract the removal of good bacteria by the antibiotics .

Depends on the AB's tbh but in general you won't be as energised as normal for want of a less crap description.

I was on Clavamel for an ear abscess before and i was like a junky in my demeanor lol.

If you are going to use probiotics, do it after - not during the course of antibiotics.

Complete the course whatever you do. If you start now don't stop... or if you don't want to be taking them at the time of the fight, wait until afterwards.

If you've been prescribed antibiotics for an abscess, then definitely take them. Without them, the abscess could turn really nasty very fast.

The way you'll feel on them is very much dependant on the type and strength of antibiotic that you've been prescribed. With some, you'll barely notice a thing, with others you'll really feel like sh*t and should avoid training too. Basically they depress your immune response a little and can affect your blood chemistry to varying degrees. As has been said though, the crucial thing is to complete the course once you start it, regardless of how you're feeling.

I'm not sure if flagyl qualify's an antibiotic, but it absolutely knocked the **** out of me.

I've been on and off anti-biotics for months now and I feel the same all the time. Maybe it depends on the type.

Who told you they'd leave you zonked??

Most I've ever been on them is a week or two and they did leave me feeling a bit tired all the time.

A mate of mine had some jaw problems (needed ops on it) which meant he had to take steroids and antibiotics for months but I think they were weaker than the standard, tiny little tablets four times a day.

Didn't stop him going on the lash or acting the bollix as usual, then again fcuk it, if you feel your up to it, give it a lash.
