yes I can see the funny side of this:D but my health anxiety is in overdrive.
I have had facial pressure for weeks and am due to see ent surgeon on monday. Gp doesn't think its sinus related more likely connected to my damaged neck that gives weird head symptoms BUT she said that I could try a course of antibiotics and see if it helps because if it does then it could be sinus infection so I agreed. I haven't taken amoxicillin for at least 8 years as it always gave me thrush but she said it was the best one.
24 hrs after I started taking it I got awful flatulance that is quite painful in bouts and constant farting:yesyes: .
I spoke to my pharmacist who when he stopped laughing ( I know him well) he said it was just the lack of friendly bacteria and to take actimel or live yogurt wich I have done for past 24 hrs. but still this terrible gurgling painful at times wind.
I did silly thing an googled the antibiotic and it says ALL antibiotics can cause C Diff:scared15: and it can occur up to two months after you stop taking the tablets.
At the moment I don't have the runs although a bit looser than usual probably due to the gale force nine blowing behind it:whistles:
I need reassurance that someone else has taken antibiotics and had upset bowels and NOT developed c diff or any other nasty bowel infection.
I don't want to ring my Dr and ask if its okay to keep taking them as I have seen her so much in last few weeks its embarrasing but same time I'm in my panic mode of wanting to ask everyone if its okay - I know the worst thing you can do is stop taking the antibiotics as this can make nasty things more likely. I finish them on Sunday.
