I can't be bothered with name changing, so please excuse the personal details I am about to share...
I'd been having bleeding in the middle of my cycle for 3 months when I started getting some unpleasant discharge, so I went to the GP. She said it just sounded like a bacterial infection rather than anything more serious, did a smear and gave me antibiotics. A week later she rang with my results and said I had Group C Strep (I'd only heard of Group B Strep before) and gave me a prescription for penicillin.
After taking the penicillin, I got the tale tell signs of a water infection so I went to see the nurse who got me a prescription from the GP for a different course of antibiotics. I'd been taking them for a few days when I began to feel very unwell with terrible pain, a temperature and nausea. I went back to see a different GP who tested a urine sample and said the infection was still raging away, I had a temperature, pain in my lower back, nausea and blood in my urine by now. He put me on a 4th course of antibiotics and sent my sample to the lab.
I haven't heard back from that test, and am on my last day of this course of medicine. But I still don't feel right. I still have a sense of urgency for the toilet and a niggling feeling of being uncomfortable in my abdomen, although the bad pain has subsided. I am drinking litres of water each day but, not surprisingly after all the ABs I now also have thrush.
I am very stressed at the moment, it is the first anniversary of my dd's death next week, and I just want to feel well again to cope with the upcoming days. Any advice on what I can do to clear whatever is going on?
