I second that.  At the very least, you'll come out with a medical
diagnosis and hopefully a course of treatment you and your doctor (or
even another doctor if you don't agree with the diagnosis) can work
with.

For me, I may/may not be getting over my newest infection.  Right now,
it's a toss up.  It's the first one since I started allergy shots (2 at
2x a week) in July.  I took 15 days worth of Biaxin XL.  I still don't
feel 100%, so I'm taking some P.C.E. 300 that I had left over from a
previous Rx.  At least I'm not so weak like I was a couple of weeks ago
when I couldn't go to work.  I'm back working out at the gym 3x a week.

Yesterday was the last of my twice a week shots.  They really must load
up on the serum by now because my right arm has been really sore since
yesterday; my left not so much.  So, from now on, it's once a week for
3 more weeks, then once every other week, then a visit to the allergist
for evaluation.  I'm concerned that this latest infection mimics the
other ones I have, and that Biaxin XL has been slow to act, and that I
may not actually be over it.

I've seen many people tout Augmentin.  I think that's one I haven't
tried.  Opinions?  The only antibiotic that I've taken that I know
works is Levaquin, but doctors seem to prescribe that sparingly.
