Something to get off my chest about this sub

i went through absolute hell and torture and almost lost my marriage to the anxiety the prospect of this dreaded disease causes, but i have to say that i came around to being almost 95% of my old self. i come to this sub to help others and share some insights and encouragement. and some of you, really are suffering mentally and we all feel for you, and were all here for one another.

but sometimes the comments some of you post, and the manner in which you do it, sometimes the bullshit or baseless things you say, are so ridiculous and inappropriate. if you are a severe hypochondriac, dont come here and fucking put people into a panic state. it takes a lot of effort, discipline, self reliance, reassurance, and courage to get over this fear and deal with the syndrome we all deal with, and some of you coming in here day in day out saying the things you say, how does that help?

the 2 rules were by the moderator, no SEEKING and no GIVING medical advice. were here as a group to help eachother cope and deal with our anxities.

youre not neurologist. youre not ALS researchers. keep your opinions or what this person or what that person said to yourselves

maybe i will get downvoted into oblivion thats fine, clearly my nerve was struck here after being so strong for so long that now i am spiraling into an anxiety state because some of you dont know how to shut the fuck up and just be supportive

Hybrid Triple Therapy... will keep you posted

trying Hybrid Triple Therapy that lessens side effects. You take 1g Amoxicillin twice daily for 5 days, then 1g Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin 1g daily for the next 7 days. This is with a daily 40mg PPI. Case studies have shown an efficacy of 93% comparable to 14 day regiments, with a Hybrid Triple Therapy 12 day regiment, where the harsh side effects of Clarithromycin are reduced. So July 14 will be my HPylori test, will keep you all posted. I am on Day 8 of 12.

so far side effects is extreme hunger feeling, bathroom urgency but no diarrhea, random naussea, and metallic bitter taste. nothing else.
