	Hi all,just a little bit of info about medicines , i have to take penicillin every day because i had my spleen removed,well to cut a long story short,i take it in liquid form,because tablets were giving me lots of pain in my joints,so its worth thinking about if you peeps get a lot of pain,go liquid with your meds. i tried various brands of tabs and it was all the same ,infact some were worse than others. hope this helps in some way best wishes wendy

	Wendy, that's useful, I had forgotten about liquid antibiotics. I remember being given similar medicine when I used to get bad throat infections. Lizx

	Hi Liz, when i was a carer if our clients refused to take pill form or couldnt swallow pills we would go liquid. the pharmacutical suppliers bulk out the pills with all kinds off stuff ,so its not surprising we get side effects. just wish they didnt make the liquid stuff so sweet. I always make up a solution of lemons honey and glycerine for coughs and sore throats, juice and flesh 2 lemons tablespoon honey teaspoon glycerine in 1 pint boiling water. stir well.can be drunk hot or cold. all natural stuff done it for years. wendy
