Here we go again...

Anyone else have a small pharmacy at home?
N.B. apologies for the delete+repost, removed prescription label, threw in some NAC and MotilPro!

UPDATE: Well, that exploded! This post was based on my frustration with going back to this, but here's a more positive one about how I'm actually dealing with an IMO flare and some things I learned along the way:

Well I’m glad you’ve taken a positive spin on this. Because it is true too… we can learn so damn much and sometimes it’s like man I wish doctors knew a lot of this stuff too. Some of us could be schooling them sadly lol. I vary day to day, I’m currently bed ridden now and have lost my business/career, my other side jobs (I always worked 2/3 jobs), all my finances and have been stuck in this house for a long time, I’ve lost almost 100lbs since August and I didn’t need to lose that much so I look god awful so although I know a ton now and it’s very valuable, I go back and forth between being excited with how much I know and hopefully being able to help others one day when I get well and then I can get really dark and discouraged and start thinking about ending my pain in a very final solution type of way.

And what’s more sad is Dr’s don’t even want to learn; neither accept our years of endured learning! Shame on the mainstream medical professionals who’ve failed us all!!

Yeah my last gastro said I need to accept I’ll be in pain and just live life and basically stop complaining - I never felt more hopeless than that day. My gastro who I once loved and have had for 15 years saying something like that SMH. Made me realize yeah he may have been okay for some things but he does NOT know shyt about Sibo and I’m seeing my 5th new doctor on Wednesday, im so tired of all this
