I have had very bad IBS symptoms and heartburn for about 5 weeks on and off. 2 weeks ago my GP did tests for coeliac disease and helicobater, he said he didn't think I had either of them but he was doing them to reassure me and prove it was just wind caused by stress/anxiety that I have had since the termination last month. Yesterday whilst at the GP I asked if the results were back and I have tested positive for helicobacter. She said she didnt have time to go through the treatment and explain to me what it is so told me to come back in a week. My brother had it years ago and was very ill, fo thte last week my symptoms of wind haven't been that bad really so I was suprised when she told me this.
My anxiety is bad at the moment, and I have been signed off work due to the stomach trouble but being stuck at home is not helping really:blush: I am now anxious about this, I don't know much about it other than it is a bacteria alot of people carry. Has anyone had it and can advise me? does it require treatment? I have an appointment to see my usual GP on friday to discuss it.
Yesterday I went in for a few swabs, had a very heavy period which started as spotting last Sunday & Monday, but by Tuesday and Wednesday it was so heavy, I gushed everytime i stood up. Since then I have had days of nothing at all, but then days where I have yellowy/brown/red discharge. Which then freaks me out, it comes and goes and I keep getting myself in a tizz that the heavy bleed will come back that I had last week:weep: GP yesterday said it was just a period, heavier than usual as I had a termination 6 weeks ago, so she said it was bound to be abit unusual. It has left me jumpy though, I keep looking to see if I am bleeding again, I feel so nervous that it may come back.
I had some swabs done yesterday, she said it would reassure me that nothing was wrong, she said after 6 weeks it would be highly unlikely that I had an infection.
Can anyone who has had a termination reassure me that their first period was different/heavy?
I also had more bloods done today, should get all my results tomorrow or thursday, I feel really worried.
I still am not sleeping and having nightmares. I feel quite low, and the days feel so long. I feel really anxious and low right now. My husband has been fantastic and supports me, as does my mother but I feel quite worried about myself, I never thought I would feel this low:weep:
