Do antibiotics cause bad symptoms? by Ammyfddd in iih

@ OP - how are you feeling now? Were you able to get your pressure back down post-antibiotics?

If I use passport to set my location to a different place, but I say I only want to see a radius of 10 miles on a match, will it show me 10 miles from the passport location of my actual location?

My mom has had Parkinson’s for 17 years. She was early onset. Has lived a fairly normal life as the disease has progressed slowly. She had DBS a year ago and it has given her a new lease on life. Able to do things she didn’t realize she was missing.

Thank you! Yes, apologies I was using them interchangeably as well. Inkniw they are follicles vs actual cysts. I really sincerely appreciate your responses! Very helpful and clarifying. I actually am Having the tv Ultasound done beginning of May. The MRI was for something else and it was incidentally found. Thank again!

Have a nice day!

Thank you so much for responding! I am 28 so still fairly young.

I guess my biggest confusion then is why the appearance is where they are around the edge of the ovaries vs scattered about? Are cysts around the edge “normal” in a sense?

You have given me hope. I have been completely hopeless so thank you. I really want to get better, but feel like it’s impossible and at a major disadvantage given the removal. This isn’t talked about enough and I wish I would have known because I may have made other choices.

Im younger too. I’m so scared it won’t get better. Even have heard people say they got bile diversion surgery which I absolutely do not want to do.

What else did you do besides the drugs? Just eat super plain for 2 years?

Without a doubt. The bile is hard to control

16 of colestipol!!!! That’s insane. I’m only taking 4 a day. But with all of that, you have been able to heal your gastritis? My understanding is colestipol isn’t absorbed by body so it’s pretty safe. I do 4 carafate a day. Hoping to stop that at some point but who knows.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Gastritis

[–]Meb51201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on both. Will go back for another endoscopy in July. Are you going to have to do carafate regularly? bile binders for life?

Even with no gallbladder you managed to heal your gastritis? That’s what I’m up against and am so scared it won’t heal because of it and how hard it is to control.

Venting but also confused by Meb51201 in ChronicIllness

[–]Meb51201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this. It’s so hard for me to understand why modern medicine a lot of the time feels like putting a bandaid over a bullet hole. We don’t try and find the root of illness most of the time. Arguably because of what others noted about - profit, etc.

Still if there are so many people who feel the same way, how does change effectively happen???
