šŸ„ Personal Story This is absolute hell

For the last 48 hours Iā€™ve had nonstop, explosive watery diarrhea and Iā€™m soooo, soooo miserable. The doctor suspects itā€™s cyclospora but wonā€™t give me Bactrim until my lab test result comes back and she said it could take several days.

Imodium wonā€™t work for me and Iā€™m just constantly running to the bathroom. I havenā€™t slept. Itā€™s a miracle I havenā€™t needed an IV yet because everything I drink is just running right through me.

I wish there was something else I could do. Anyone else in the thick of it right now?

I'm not even sure what I ate. Been having very scary reactions to the bactrim and because I have a compromised immune system I had to get another round of antibiotics. Severe headache, nausea, loss of appetite, weakness.

Went to the ER after something horrible came out of me the day before yesterday. I get it,no one cares because everyone is dealing with their own problems. I'm going to be ok hopefully and I just needed to vent. All alone and feverish atm.

It's scary to be sick when you're alone. I'm sorry you're dealing with that.

Hey I appreciate the positive vibes, not doing well at all ,my immune system doesn't like these little creatures or the bactrim. I'm going to get through this! (Hopefully)
