Hi all! I'm 25 and have recently been diagnosed with endometrosis (on the wait list for a laparoscopy) after struggling with my periods for years.
Though I fell ill recently with tonsillitis, and I mean really ill. I left it two days and my GP said it was the worst case she'd ever seen in an adult. My throat was covered in white lumps, I got an ear infection, an abcess on my tooth, sweltering fever ... it was horrendeous. I was prescribed Clarithoromycin (1000mg a day) as an antbioitic, and although it healed the infection, I've been triggered with the worst kind of stomach pain.
I'm bloated, awfully. My womb has that full feeling you get a day or so before a period, when you know it's going to be heavy, and I've swollen up so much around my belly. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm currently sat on a hot water bottle, with one on my back and one strapped to my front. I've taken cocodemol and naproxen (both prescribed pain killers) and eaten really clean the past few days, and it hasn't shifted in a fortnight.
My question is, has anyone else experienced this before? Antibiotics triggering bloating and women pain? Or even being tremedously sick triggering endo pain? I haven't spoken to the GP, as there will be nothing they can do. Though I know there are strength in numbers and women that might be able to offer some insight!
Thank you!
