What's Next?

I called my doctor when I realized it's been a month since I finished that antibiotic, and I am not feeling better--on the contrary, steadily worse. The nurse promised to check with the doctor whether my suggestion to try another course of Flagyl before re-testing was a feasible one.

Right after I hung up the phone, I went out. A half hour into my errands, I was absolutely doubled by a sudden flare-up. I finished my list slowly, then got myself home and sat down with a yogurt and some peppermint tea (after a couple of trips to the bathroom, of course). I'm still very crampy, but upright at least - funny how simply "upright" is almost an acceptable state of being these days.
