Long time, no blog. Sorry about that. The good news is that I'm not dead or hospitalized or anything like that. Really, I'm much better. I think it was the threat of Cipro that scared my anatomy into getting well. No, seriously, when I was on Day Six of a seven-day antibiotic course, I started having a new flareup. I called my doctor to get either more of the same drug or a new one, and he gave me a new one: Cipro.
Seriously, the last time I heard of anyone taking Cipro, there was anthrax in the mail. Sounds drastic to me. Then I read the packaging inserts and warnings with the stuff from the pharmacy, and what does it say? "Do not breastfeed while taking this product." HUH?!?!?!
Okay, I asked my OB for help with a breast infection while I'm nursing, and he gives me a drug I'm not supposed to take...I'm in the market for a new doctor.
About Me
- Mugs
- I'm originally from North America and I work in the travel industry. I started this blog when I was living in Baltic Europe and wanted to keep family and friends updated on my first pregnancy. I took maternity leave for a year, and came a little closer to figuring out what I want to be when I grow up - but alas, the job of "Katharine Hepburn" was taken. So after fifteen months of Stay-at-Home-Mom-hood, I returned to the workforce in January 2006. My husband and I have a daughter born in 2004 and a son born in 2006 (known on this blog as "Gigi" and "Halley" respectively). My company transferred me to a nice warm island in July 2006, where I get to spend the next three years (at least!) So why the name "Purple Scare"? Because when I created the blog, I was living behind the Rusted Iron Curtain, and I like the color purple more than red. Write me at purplescareblog@gmail.com.
