Good lord, will this affliction never end? It's two weeks tomorrow. I thought I was getting better so I stopped taking the diarrhea medicine. Huge mistake. I'm back on it now. But I'm absolutely on the mend, there is no doubt. The swelling went down by at least half, and I don't feel AS bad as before, but whatever I got was really something else. If it's what NM thought, Giardiasis, then it's 2-6 weeks to recover from, which is harsh.
Still, my spirits are good, though I won't be here much as I'll be resting more/still.
I was going to attend my once a month Women In Business meeting tonight, but I'm thinking of taking a pass and letting my VP run the group. As President, I hate to miss it, but that's what Vice Presidents are for, right?

Yuck. :( Glad to hear you are still upbeat in spite of it all. I'd second the motion to rest. Take care and feel better soon!

That's absolutely what VP's are for, so take advantage & take the night off. How frustrating for you to still be dealing with this, but take care of you & let your body heal. Thinking of you! xoxox

Trying to think of all the things that have ever constipated me in the past - cheese, Codeine, what else? Anyone?

Yeah, Giardia is lethal. I hope that's not what it was, as it usually requires antibiotics and can be resistant. Letting your VP run things tonight sounds like a great plan. I took today off to let a couple annoying muscle issues work themselves out.

That is right - give the VP some practice!

As for constipating - maybe eating at McDonalds for a week?

Ugh. Feel better soon, @MM. I hope it clears entirely much sooner than that. BEST WISHES!

I am thinking the food poisoning would have been better in your case. At least you would be better by now...yuck...hope you turn the corner and beat this beast once and for all.

Maybe time to consult a GI Specialist. Two weeks is a long time to have continual gut problems.

Maybe you should apply for cdn citizenship. Then you could see a doctor. The biggest thing is to keep hydrated. Mixed blessing having enough fluids in your system, but you have to do it. At least I'm not envisioning you lying in a hospital anymore.

CR, it's more of an annoyance than a true illness at this point. Our health insurance has a $4000 deductible, so I'm reluctant to see a specialist because I could rack up some very expensive bills very fast. For now, I feel just fine. I simply can't be away from the bathroom for long, that's all. My regular doctor comes back next week and I'll do whatever he suggests, and maybe I'll be better by then!
