I had tonsillitis diagnosed yesterday and was prescribed Penicillin VK and told that I would be fine to run FLM on Sunday.
However I have spent all night throwing up which I presume is a reaction to the antibiotics? Will it be too late now to take a different antibiotic and how do i know that one won't make me sick too?

er---------I would not advise you to run with tonsillitis which is deemed bad enough to need antibiotics
thee isnt really any way of telling which ones will make you throw up other than by trial and error
have you reacted badly to pen V before that you know of? penicillin intolerance is fairly common - it can be dangerous in some people - so you may fall into this category. there are alternatives which may be better for you so go back to see your GP pronto....
personally I'd think of deferring the FLM place to next year if I had tonsillitis
Luckily I have a GFA place for next year and I won't run unless I feel a lot better by Saturday. I've already resigned myself to not doing the sub 3:15 that I've trained so hard for but was hoping to run slower and enjoy the day and the atmosphere.
Listen to PH - she's a doctor!
Agree with the Hipps here. Don't run.
Totley ladies need you....
Think I may heed the advice of my fellow forumites though!
I haven't run since december, I'm big into fell running, 10k, adventure racing etcc...
It driving me crazy!! Depression has set in...I'm like this because I didn't listen to my body. If you run you will make yourself worse! Plese dont run...thare are other races X
get well soon!
I have an operation soon and cant wait to get back to it but will be listening to my body.
