I actually fly to Melbourne. 5 months worth though could only last 3 months, though, depending on how much insulin I use a day. That's what I was saying about its difficult to say for certain how much I'm taking. It's not like prescribed antibiotics where 3 months' worth of maximum dosage is clear.

I am currently on antibiotics for a suspected dental abscess and wisdom tooth trouble. I finish them right before I go on holiday for 10 days - will the pain come back immediately after I stop taking the antibiotics or do you think it will hold out for the duration of the holiday?
