I know that no one can say 100% anything here, no one is a doctor. But I just want opinions on whether my associations with antibiotics can make sense even 15 days after stopping taking them. and Fish when do you use local expressions I can't understand like this:
Told ya so gang' on standby
It means he thinks you're being ridiculous, because you kind of are.
Pro tip from somebody with decades of health anxiety: if you need to be told something specific to find peace, you need to learn to tell yourself and believe it.

Today is another difficult day, I woke up right after I went to the bathroom, it was better than yesterday, but it didn't take another hour I had to go again and then I had diarrhea again. My head was lost again, I had an hour between the first trip to the bathroom and the second one of peace and then everything came again. The thought of the big C has increased a lot in my head, because I've had this change in my bowel habits for 4 days now, if it were diarrhea I would go to the bathroom several times a day and in my case I only go once or twice and it alternates between improvement and diarrhea .
If I was given £1 for every time I went to the bathroom and it wasn't a "normal" poo I would be a millionaire. A million things can upset your stomach, mild stomach viruses, stress, your diet, the position of the sun in the sky...
The number one thing that'll definitely screw with your bowls movements is anxiety! You ate or drank something that disagreed with you, then immediately started assuming it was cancer. It's no surprise your bowel movements are still iffy. Bowel movements as a symptom of cancer should not be measured across a few days (unless you're pooing blood).
Thank you very much for your feedback.
I thought I should come here to show the resolution of everything that happened to me in the last 20 days.
As I reported, I had a change in bowel habits 15 days ago, with softer stools, I live in Brazil and here, if you have a private plan, you can go directly to the specialist, which is what I did and he, seeing my anxiety situation, requested a colonoscopy exam, but On the day of the appointment, he told me to stay calm, as he didn't think it was serious.
In short, the exam took 15 days to be carried out, so my life became hell and unlike other times, this time I was sure I had the damn C, my head fantasized about the entire tragedy my whole life went through in my head, I fantasized about everything from the treatment to the rest of life like living with a colostomy bag and several other things that if I were to write it would exceed the character limit.
Finally, I had the exam yesterday, I was very nervous and at the end of the exam the Dr sent me a MESSAGE. “EVERYTHING IS OK, NOTHING ABNORMAL”
I lost 20 days of my life, left my wife almost crazy, family members all worried. But I still feel symptoms and to tell the truth it has relieved me, but my mind still thinks a little like, for example, the doctor hasn't released the report yet, maybe he doesn't want to tell me something. But finally I'm calmer and I'm going to seek help.
