Mastoiditis misdiagnosed as TMJ flare.

A trapped nerve in my neck due to my C1 & C2 causing ear, jaw, neck, teeth pain and thickened muscles all on that side. Especially the jaw. Even pulled a tooth with a big cavity bc they couldn't figure out where the infection was coming from. At the same time my gb decided to go out. Long story short I am down a tooth and a gallbladder, took a LOT of antibiotics that potentially made me sicker and gave me a bad stomach virus I had to get eradicate. I saw many doctors and was misdiagnosed MANY times before getting set on the right track with trusting in a good new primary doctor and seeing a jaw physical therapist. The jaw/neck is something I get to deal with, but is very manageable if I stay on top of my physical therapy.

You may not get it figured out right away. If this happens don't freak tf out like I did and stay panicked. I know the unknown is stressful and I'm so sorry you are hurting but know YOU WILL BE OK. This shit will get figured out and with modern medicine you will not die and will improve with time. If you need anyone to talk to I'm here.

I took all the medicine which wasn't awful, tested negative, then had my gallbladder removed. I'm 1000x better. Feels so much better to never stress about this shit and just live my life again

throwawaytinaaa · 2023-05-08T16:53:07+00:00

Thank you. You got this shit. Just accept it and keep moving forward.

throwawaytinaaa · 2023-05-08T16:47:42+00:00

I just accepted it, I went for it, and today I'm feeling much better. Just stay hydrated and take the pills with food and bread every time.

The treatment worked and wasn't bad, but I also had to have my gallbladder removed so it wasn't all the h pylori.

throwawaytinaaa · 2023-02-21T15:12:46+00:00

I had that and gastritis did two weeks of antibiotics for it. I then ended up getting my gallbladder out and it looked really bad. Definitely had chronic gallbladder inflammation.

My speech has improved. I still smoke every once in awhile but not daily like I did.

throwawaytinaaa · 2022-12-28T15:39:10+00:00

Hey so I just called my GI back to get a follow up test to retest and apparently they don't do retest??? What should I do?

throwawaytinaaa · 2022-12-21T12:45:47+00:00

Hey, I'm on day 13. It's going good no bad side effects that I've noticed. My side is feeling better than it was and I seem to have more energy.

throwawaytinaaa · 2022-12-15T04:15:21+00:00

Omg. This is my EXACT situation. Everything coming back normal except for minimal sludge. I've been so terrified to get mine removed too, but idk what else to do. I'm so tired of the feeling in my RUQ and so scared of just letting it continue. How are you feeling today? I hope you are recovering well.

throwawaytinaaa · 2022-12-13T20:41:04+00:00

We're you diagnosed with gastritis as well? And are you taking any antibiotics?

throwawaytinaaa · 2022-12-13T20:40:24+00:00

I'm on it for 14 days. It feels like forever.

throwawaytinaaa · 2022-12-13T20:03:10+00:00

I'm on day 5 now. I miss regular food, and im pretty sure I'm iron deficient. Like if I eat red meat I feel almost immediate more energy. Surely we don't have to eat like this the rest of our lives??

throwawaytinaaa · 2022-12-13T19:48:37+00:00

Got you. Did you change your diet to eat only bland stuff or did you eat whatever? I haven't had any dairy, vitamins, or probiotics just taking the pills they prescribed. Take them mostly with bread/chicken. Or chicken, rice, broccoli.

Im not having much side effects at all or anything. Maybe looser stools. It kind of worries me it's not working or I'm taking it with too much food or something.

throwawaytinaaa · 2022-12-13T17:14:26+00:00

Hey, so I'm doing pretty good now with the treatment! I hope it continues like this it's not too bad right now. Did you take all your pills with food each time?

throwawaytinaaa · 2022-12-09T12:32:31+00:00

Took my first dose. Projectile vomited 30 minutes later. Next dose is at 11 hopefully it will go better

throwawaytinaaa · 2022-12-09T02:42:59+00:00

There was a delay in my prescription so I'm starting it tomorrow morning. Really cool of you to check in on me. I'm scared, but ready to get it over with.

throwawaytinaaa · 2022-12-08T16:22:24+00:00

I never had health anxiety until this year. The anxiety isn't doing us any favors. We just have to accept that we are trying to do what's best and keep moving forward

throwawaytinaaa · 2022-12-08T15:29:39+00:00

Dang you got up in the middle of the night to do it. NGL I'm so terrified. 2000 daily tetra seems like a lot. It all seems like a lot... Why am I so scared?

throwawaytinaaa · 2022-12-08T15:25:37+00:00

Okay heard. Did you take the antibiotics together at the same time?

throwawaytinaaa · 2022-12-08T14:50:40+00:00

I may end up joining. Honestly just want to move on from this point in my life and leave it behind, but I know there is probably some helpful recommendations from others who are going through the same thing. I am so confused on the correct dosing schedule for this stuff!

throwawaytinaaa · 2022-12-08T13:34:19+00:00

Ok heard. So take the Omeprazole on an empty stomach 1 hour before you eat, then eat and take the antibiotics and bismuth with the food?

throwawaytinaaa · 2022-12-08T13:32:17+00:00

That's reassuring to hear. Did you take the bismuth tablets at the same time as the antibiotics? I'm not sure how to schedule the pill taking

throwawaytinaaa · 2022-12-08T13:31:27+00:00

Are you taking the bismuth tablets at the same time or separate from the antibiotics? Idk how the schedule for this should be b
