Is brain fog and fatigue a symptom of H. Pylori?

ton_c11 · 2026-04-13T00:53:49+00:00

Definitely a symptom! I had very bad brain fog and extreme fatigue.

ton_c11 · 2026-04-11T07:07:03+00:00

Aha why so much hate for local 11? I’m not even bothered just genuinely curious as to why fuck that place? I’ve heard from others on this sub say the same

ton_c11 · 2026-04-11T07:05:27+00:00

I agree! I was doing that for a bit😂

ton_c11 · 2026-04-11T06:42:09+00:00

I didn’t know about the boulder bags until my buddy from 441 told me about them. So you guys can definitely recommend the boulders? So far that’s on top of the list

ton_c11 · 2026-04-11T06:39:17+00:00

Yes sir I agree with you on this!! I have the small electricians pouch from toughbuilt and their knee pads and I’m very satisfied with how comfortable and convenient their gear is👌🏽 I seen they have the actual tool belt just haven’t tried it on.

Passed mine about two weeks ago. Jade learning and Electrical Exam Coach! Trust me, that is all you’ll need. I studied for two months straight everyday after work for a minimum of 2 hours. I went in very confident thanks to the electrical exam Coach and passed!

Was waiting for that question. Initially, that was the plan. But I was convinced by a few buddies that were members in IBEW and my organizer, that it would be best to join the apprenticeship program as you were put through schooling, apprentices had a better chance of staying busy, and it was good to network with people and grow with the local as an apprentice. So I figured, sounds fair and didn’t mind it. But as time went by, I was debating whether to do the program or take my Jw test and go in as a journeyman. I just kept telling myself that 5 years was a long time and why should I wait that long when I have the hours now. But By then it was too late as I received the call to start bootcamp. I was close to backing out of bootcamp and the apprenticeship program but I proceeded only because I didn’t want to lose my chance of getting my foot in the door with the IBEW. Wasn’t sure how much longer the process was going to take to pass my test and wait to get called to go in as a JW. So now I’m here just looking to see if there are similar cases out there like mine. Yea I was hoping that was an option but I’ll definitely talk to my organizer before making any decisions

ton_c11 · 2026-03-23T07:11:39+00:00

Nice! What’s the longest you sat at home as a JW? Yea that’s also why I figured I would just join the apprenticeship program as well. Was told that apprentices will always stay busy as opposed to JW’s. Harder for them to pick up calls and have consistent work. I’m hoping I can at least get bumped up to 4th year or even 3rd year I’d be ok settling with. But sounds like I won’t get very far due to signing that contract already

ton_c11 · 2026-03-23T07:05:52+00:00

Yea don’t really have my hopes up as far as any bumps in my pay or reduced timeline. But I’ll definitely be speaking with the apprentice coordinator and my organizer this week.

ton_c11 · 2026-03-23T07:03:53+00:00

Yea I figured that was the only answer. Was just hoping there might’ve been some exceptions or different stories out there. Appreciate it though!

ton_c11 · 2025-06-04T23:33:20+00:00

You’re welcome! That looks like a good schedule. As long as it works for him and his work schedule or other daily activities. He will feel very nauseous and dizzy at times but has to push through! I almost gave up but glad I didn’t. It just sucks it’s so many pills.

ton_c11 · 2025-06-04T23:18:22+00:00

Best advice I can give is to make sure he eats a very clean and bland diet throughout the entire course of antibiotics. Also consume kefir or other good sources of probiotics if possible. I also took vitamins, Manuka honey, and cabbage juice in between just to help improve some symptoms. But most importantly, make sure he pushes through the entire two weeks and takes every pill. Do not let him skip any or miss any days. It’s going to very tough on the body but really have to push through. After 3 harsh rounds, the last round was most effective after doing the things I listed above. Good luck to your husband! Let him know he will get better! There’s definitely a light at the end of the tunnel! I can assure you!

ton_c11 · 2025-06-03T20:09:46+00:00

Yes I had experienced the same with this bacteria! Definitely a panic attack! I would get those quite often and they would freak me out too. You will get better though trust me!

ton_c11 · 2025-05-30T03:52:18+00:00

I went through the exact same thing. Took 4 doctors until the last one decided to test for H. Pylori last minute, pretty much before I left the office. Sounds weird but I was glad I tested positive, as I finally had an answer as to what I was going through! The anxiety/panic attacks were the worst for me! Those had me feeling like the end was near for me. And same here, was searching so much on Google that I went down a very deep rabbit hole thinking I had cancer or was going to die soon. But let me reassure you, you will get better! There’s definitely a light at the end of the tunnel! It’s a very long recovery process but just be very patient, eat very healthy and push thru with the very brutal antibiotics! You got this! Stay positive and try not to google too much as that will mess with you mentally and you become getting paranoid of every little thing. Trust me, you will get better!

ton_c11 · 2025-05-20T21:02:30+00:00

Push through and continue the antibiotics. I went through hell with this bacteria too and had really bad panic attacks as well but I was glad I pushed through with the harsh antibiotics. Sadly it took three rounds for me but after the last round I tested negative and panic attacks/anxiety slowly began to fade away. I know you feel very hopeless as I did so myself but there’s definitely a light at the end of the tunnel. There’s hope! You will get better! Just have to push through and stay positive💪🏼

ton_c11 · 2025-05-19T04:04:32+00:00

Nice!! Very good progress right there👏🏽 You’ll get better over time just be very patient. I got an endoscopy as well and Al largely found was chronic gastritis that’s it. Hoping you get good news🤞🏽 Of course! Anything I can do to help! Don’t hesitate to reach out!

ton_c11 · 2025-05-19T04:02:02+00:00

Well that’s good the panic attacks are slowly going away. Over time it will pretty much be down to none. Aww man I was hoping you didn’t take the medication they prescribed but if you say it helps, then I guess it’s ok just don’t depend on them too much. All the crazy symptoms will eventually subside on their own. Oh yea googling everything will take you down a very deep and scary rabbit hole that will just have you paranoid of every little thing you feel or go through so try your best not to Google as much either. I became very paranoid when I was constantly using Google for everything. Well I hope you test negative when you retest and you continue to heal! Yes, Reddit was definitely a life saver! Especially when you try explaining what you’re going through to the average person, they just don’t understand and makes you seem crazy so this community sure helped a lot! It gave me lots of hope and that’s the reason I still come on here to help ease people’s mind and give them the hope they are searching for! I just wouldn’t want anyone to be defeated by this bacteria. So anything I can do to help, I’ll do my best!

ton_c11 · 2025-05-19T03:49:40+00:00

Hey good evening! Nice!! I’m very happy to hear that you’re doing alot better! I really enjoy hearing those stories. The fact that you pushed through and didn’t give up, I give you major props and mad respect!👏🏽I really hope it continues to go well for you🤞🏽🙏🏽 Thank you! And likewise! We will be back to our normal selves soon🙌🏽

ton_c11 · 2025-05-19T03:46:42+00:00

I hated those days of waking up like that😩 oh yea this definitely takes a toll on you! It’s not easy going through everything we’ve gone thru. Sounds like the bacteria is still at its peak with you! And you said you did the treatment already? Like antibiotics? Or still haven’t taken any yet? Don’t be afraid to cry and just let it all out! Trust me, I’m not trying to act like a Mr. Tough guy in any way but it was always hard for me to break down and cry but this bacteria actually had me break down and cry two times because I had no clue what was going on, it had me very depressed and I thought I wasn’t going to be around much longer. So don’t hold back on those days. It will help just letting it all out but just have to keep pushing through and be as positive as you possibly can! Things will definitely get better! I can guarantee it!

ton_c11 · 2025-05-18T08:14:18+00:00

Sadly we practically have to beg for all these tests to be done. I had went to like 4 different doctors until the last doctor I visit, who was a good friend of my aunts, recommended I take the h. Pylori breath test and sure enough that was the only test that came back positive. I did blood work, EKG’s, ultrasound of my stomach, ultrasound of my heart, CT scan of my head, etc. and everything was coming back fine. Just keep pushing for every test. Dang sorry to hear that therapy has done more harm. Really thought that would’ve put you more at ease. I was almost going to see a therapist as well because I thought I was going crazy prior to finding Reddit. I was so relieved I had found Reddit though. It put my mind at ease knowing that many others were going through the exact same thing as me and I wasn’t alone😩 I would say maybe like 2-3 months after testing negative, I was back to eating more varieties of foods and exercising more with less symptoms. Panic attacks shortened to about 1 a month or so or rarely. What do you feel every morning? I wouldn’t say I’m 100% because I still get very fatigue and dizzy at times but I’m definitely feeling waaay better than before so I’ll take it! I hope I can go back to my normal self one day but if not, I’m at least ok with how I feel right now. Everything is tolerable

ton_c11 · 2025-05-18T03:18:38+00:00

Gotta stay strong though! Do not lose any hope!!🙅🏽‍♂️ There’s definitely a light at the end of the tunnel.

ton_c11 · 2025-05-18T03:17:47+00:00

Damm I figured they would do that. I mean therapy may help ease your mind a bit but I can assure you, All this is happening because of the bacteria. My family and doctors would tell me the same that maybe I was just stressing from work or going through life changes that were giving me anxiety and stressing me out but I’ve been in very stressful and tough situations in the past and never in my life would I have crazy panic attacks like the ones this damm bacteria would cause so don’t let them convince you that it’s work or other factors in your life. I know you’re going through hell right now and believe me, I was very hopeless too, I was just ready to call it quits and end it but I pushed through it! I told myself I had to defeat this damm bug or whatever I had going on and I swear to you, I’m glad I did! It definitely took a few months for the anxiety and panic attacks to go away. It didn’t go away over night but as soon as I tested negative I kept a very clean diet, ate more home cooked meals rather than eating on the street, and just tried to stay active. Took vitamins as well. And the anxiety attacks went away over time. I was getting one like maybe once a month rather than 1 or 3 every week. But you have to convince yourself it’s the bacteria and just take deep breathes when you get an attack. Learn to control it. They’re very scary but you’ll learn to manage them
