Antibiotics

I usually try to avoid taking antibiotics, especially since I was on so many as a child that my immune system doesn't handle them well. Since I got my wisdom teeth out, however, I felt it prudent to fill the prescription this time - last thing I need is a massive infection that close to my brain :) One of the reasons I try to avoid antibiotics is that I, like many women, often get yeast infections when I take them.

Not this time. Huh. I did some research - apparently that taking of multivitamins thing can actually help prevent yeast infections too, just by balancing the overall health of the body.

Everybody, take your vitamins, they're good for you! And watch out for mercury if you take fish oil supplements!
