Oh life, you are hilarious
Nov. 20th, 2007 11:05 amSo I went to see the doctor at 10:10 today :D I told her how I had been feeling and she decided to look and see what the nurse practitioner had done, and saw my blood tests. She started looking at one and then started talking to herself, but of course it was doctor-talk and I didn't know what she was saying. Then she was like "... I think you ARE H. pylori positive."
And I'm like... wtf D: You mean I had my blood tested like 2 months ago and I'm positive for that thing??
So anyway now I'm on the 2 week fun times of pills to try to get rid of this bacteria that I hopefully have. Problem: The pills are ENORMOUS. I asked if there was anything smaller and she said that pretty much, either it was take these pills or drink a HUGE amount of the pediatric liquid dose, so :( And it isn't like I have to take 1, nope, I have to take 4 enormous pills in the morning and 4 at night.
She also majorly got on my ass for drinking soda, and I agree with everything she said, so I guess it is just another reason to stop. (I stopped once a long time ago and it got to the point where soda started to taste bad to me, I'm not really sure why I started again.)
I'm going to try try to choke down my morning pills now so I can get started right away T_T
I also was prescribed some anti-nausea medication so hopefully that will help me too!
Damn you life. I really hope that I am indeed H. pylori positive. Unfortunately I'm not sure if the antibiotics will kick in enough by Thursday for me to enjoy Thanksgiving. Here's to hoping!
Edit: 2/4 pills down D: I am waiting on the next two for a minute because my throat feels weird.
Edit 2: All of them down. God that was really hard to do actually D: The first two went down easy, 3 was okay, 4 was almost coughing it up twice. But I did it! Now I only need to do it 27 more times :D Yay...
