How To Treat Hot Flashes,loss Of Appetite,neck Pain?
I have been ill with many ailments throughout most of my life....recently I had a tooth extracted and began taking penicillin several weeks prior. The night after the extraction I felt so good and slept better than I have in years, and woke feeling great!! I suffered with severe depression, hot flashes (sweats), loss of appetite, neck pain....on and on...but it all began to disappear!! And in the weeks to follow I took another 3 rounds of penicillin, I was amazed of things that I had suffered with most of my life were disappearing!! But after finishing the last of the antibiotics I began to feel bad again, not all my problems returned, but that s what I fear....I know I can t take antibiotics forever but I have found an answer to my lifelong misery s....what can I do to maintain the progress I ve made??

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history feeling ill throughout life os some or the other sorts.
Recently got tooth extracted and was kept on Penicillin that helped to reduce the other symptoms and you started feeling great. But some of the symptoms recurred after stopping the Penicillin.
The most probable cause is the masking of the symptoms that you have.
Rarely some antibiotics and other medication due to their untoward actions can cause similar changed.
The severe depression can cause hot flashes, loss of appetite and neck pain.
I would advise you the following:
Consult a Doctor to get a clinical evaluation, examination and investigations as per the clinical findings so that proper diagnosis and treatment can be done.
