well I am really sensitive to medicine and I took meds for that before didnt have one side effect. You have to just do it. You will feel better if you just do it. Just throw them in your mouth and you will feel better. Worst case senerio you feel nautious but that is worst case senerio. You can do it. I get anxiety about taking medicine too, but I have to just force myself to do it. Try not to think about it, just do it.

I was like that and still am but not to such a degree. Tell yourself you will take them at first take a bit of one, then abit moire and a bit more. If you feel you need the phone near by to call the doctor then so be it. You won't need it but it might be a security blanket. Then tell yourself you know what to do if anything happens to yourself. Like: if I feel faint I will lie down. If I feel dizzy, I will sit. etc. If I die from taking this, then I have absolutely no worries. Really so what if I die this moment. t(When I tell myself if I die, etc, , it gives me a calm feeling, I think because I . am telling myself I am ok with the worst scenario) No one has died from taking an antibiotic. It is actually really good for you. It will clear up your skin , every pimple or rash will clear up. Your whole body will be more healthy than it was!!! Keep trying, don't give up. You are stronger than you think. You have had courage before and had to do a lot more difficult things ttthan this. Don't forget that. You are strong and are capable of handling any situation that comes your way. Don't sell yourself short. You are strong and heaalthy. Even baby get UTI, its no big deal. You can handke this. You may experience fear but it won't last. You know that. It will come and go. And you will do everything in your power to comfort yourself.

Close your eyes. Imagine Jesus waking in the room. Feel his presence. He comes over to you and puts his arms around you and says I am right here with you. We will do this together. I will be your strength.


Sorry if you don't believe,. Trust me I am not forcing religion on you. It is just one of my coping techniques.

You may want to try desensitizing yourself to these thoughts. On one of your previous posts, I gave the advice of repeating a "what if" question 35 times in a row. I have done this exercise for my anxiety. Around the 10th time repeating the question aloud, I got tired and bored. About the time I reached the 35th time repeating it, the question no longer had any anxious emotions connected to it.

I have this exact same problem!!!! I remember one time it was over a UTI med too! But its highly unlikely that you will be allergic to it! I always worried about that too. Still do. I take the med tho if its something like this. In my worst case, I did feel sick to my stomach. Thats nothing compared to the worries I was having! I worried about dieing for nothing. I always do darn it! I always think I'm dieing but I'm always wrong. Glad I'm wrong about dieing! Just wish I wasnt always worried about it! I know you can relate.

Whats the name of the med? Only one med for UTI makes me sick and thats Cypro(sp?). Thats how it sounds anyway. I've known a lot of ppl say that stuff makes them sick to their stomach. Not anywhere close to death and it does go away. But I steer clear of cypro.

In any case, the worst thing that I think you have to worry about is a little upset stomach. But a lot of the time like Bluedog said, I've taken them and had absolutly no side effects what so ever. Give it a try. If you want, you can chat with me after you take it. We can wait it out together. Thats just an offer.

Breath deep, you'll be fine
