Update on the Tum Tum, er, Stomach
I went to the doctor for my three month follow up visit. The meds are working to control things = good. The meds if forgotten means noticeable symptoms = bad. I’ve had a fever for every single appointment = bad. So, basically, I’ve been living with a low grade fever for 6 months (unknown cause). The medications are doing they’re job, but not fixing things. He thinks that I might have a bacterial infection in my stomach causing all of this, however, I tested negative for the H. Pylori. He said that there are others, so it still may be a factor. I’m starting up two really strong antibiotics at the same time for two weeks, and keeping my other meds the same. Another three month follow up. If at that time nothing’s changed, and there’s a noticeable difference when I forget my meds, then it’s another endoscopy for me to see if the hernia and ulcers have gotten bigger. However the whole fever thing? May indeed be why I hit a wall at 2pm and could easily go to bed at that time. I basically forcing myself to get through the rest of the day and evening with my family. Don’t forget - you can win a free case of water!
