I have been rlly struggling on my hpylori treatment. I have insane pains and heartburn first thing in morning then throughout the day that subsides but I feel really tired and dizzy and then at night lately I feel the most insane heartburn. like fire straight in my esophagus and nausea. I called in sick today and last week requested to wfh on a mandated in office day. and I gave my manager a heads up of my treatment…but his responses seem to be getting more dry maybe he just doesn’t care like if I have a sick day or opposite he thinks I’m milking it. another case my best friend is having a birthday party but she is only serving sushi and only raw fish kind and I wanted to avoid during treatment and she seemed like not understanding. but idk what to do has anyone else had this problem of feeling guilty and that people don’t understand the magnitude of the treatment? Should I call in sick tomorrow I feel like absolute shit

Do managers care about sick days if your actually literally sick. I have a stomach infection (hpylori) and am on some aggressive antibiotics I gave my manager a heads up that I may feel like trash this week cause of it. And long story short I been feeling rlly shitty. I am mandated In office 4 days a week and asked to work from home last week Thursday on a in office day then today I called in sick and I want to call in sick tomorrow. My manager responds and says like get better but his responses seem to get more dry and I’m not lying but I feel guilty and that he may not understand but I know that I feel like the worst I’ve ever felt physically and can’t bring myself to work.

I’m on my third treatment regimen of antibiotics for hpylori. The first I had no side affects but had an allergic reaction, the second treatment plan made me throwup everyday so I gave up after 3 days or that regimen. And now I’m on my next plan which also required 16 pills a day spaced out over 6 hours. I’m losing sleep waiting to take my next pill. I feel exhausted, anxious, nauseous, extreme brain fog. Having hpylori itself is way less painful and I’d go years with having it if it didn’t cause ulcers after knowing how bad the treatment plan is. someone give me tips should I take gravol?

My bestfriend has been dating her bf for over a year now and we hangout as a group with all his friends and his cousin. I’m 25 her boyfriend’s cousin is 20. His cousin is exactly my type and he always flirts with me and goes out of his way to like sit beside me or tease me out of the group. When we’re all together too he goes out of his way to talk to me. I play into it and do like him and think he likes me too in a way but with the group it’s hard to rlly like go all in getting to know each other. First problem in my eyes is the 5 year gap which in future isn’t bad but today I’m in a bit of a different stage of life with him having one more year of school and me being working full time. second problem is just if things go south he’s still part of my friend group and like idk if my friend would be mad. On a regular basis I wouldn’t seek to date someone that young but cause it’s a group setting and we’re all older I never notice the gap and in a weird way when I’m with everyone I want him to continue getting to know me but I don’t wanna over step and idk what to do. Final question should I continue to play into the flirting and keep an open mind and maybe play into it a bit more if signals are there? or should I just force myself to move on to avoid the complications?

hi everyone. my boyfriend has been complaining of stomach issues for about a year now. Hes done every test including Hpylori endoscopy and the test came back negative. I found out I had Hpylori and he doesn’t want to retest with a breath test. He still has stomach issues but im not sure the likelihood that he had a false negative. Do you think he should test again, I don’t understand how I can have it and he can’t if we see each other every week.

I found out I have hpylori months ago. and I went on my first round of antibiotics 7 days in I was covered in hives head to toe so I went off. i got my new antibiotic regimen that didn’t contain anything from the previous ones in case I have a allergy and 2 days in I couldn’t tolerate it. I was throwing up, felt dizzy, not mentally there. I lost 5 pounds in a week cause the treatment. I found out I was supposed to be taking Pepto bismol on that treatment as well but the pharmacy messed up. It’s now been two months of me waiting for a specialist to give me a new antibiotic regimen and idk what to do. Do I keep waiting or suffer through the treatment even if I’m like ill. I live in Canada so this about sums up the stupidity of our medical system. Also I was tested only with a blood test which illl say was also another stupid move on the doctors part.
