Long post. I have debated a lot as to whether to put this up but it will be cathartic in the end. If you have problems with reproductibe rights probably don't read below.
Health had been steadily improving, had the basics down pat. Little bit of NDT and red light, plenty of fat soluables and a nice diet of fruit, dairy protein and fish/meat with some taurine on the go really making me feel good etc. Still having digestive issues, needing to lose a small amount of weight, still working on liver with suspected infections and mental health improving for the first time in years. Female cycle issues still a problem with heavy loss each month and some PMS.
I was about to get married and was using high dose progesterone to try to move my period to the middle of the month so it wouldn't fall on my wedding day because it was truly impossible to manage heavy bleeding in a wedding dress. Unfortunately I seemed to have become too fertile because I fell pregnant. If you have problems with women's reproductive rights please don't read any further.
Only just having my life back from ten years of illness, and not wanting children at all (probably ever), we decided to terminate. It was very early. Despite firmly being in favor of reproductive rights, and not wanting a child, and strongly believing children should be WANTED before they are born, it was still an awful decision and horrible weight. I had two bad decisions and I took the slightly less bad one. I hated the time between the decision and the termination, was extremely depressed, couldn't eat and couldn't sleep. I chose the RU486 option because it seemed less invasive and less hard on the body (General Anesthetic is hard on the body, plus the risks of internal surgery of any kind aren't great). Anyway. It was still a terrible day of extreme pain for about four hours. After a week I felt much better, I 100% know it was the right thing for us and I felt relief and I don't even think about it anymore.
Three weeks later I began suffering significant blood loss and headaches and dizzyness. This was two weeks before our wedding. Scans showed that the termination/miscarriage had not been 100% successful and I had an infection in my uterus. I was admitted to hospital and given IV saline and multiple antibiotics. The next day I had to go in for surgery to have my poor uterus cleaned out. The pain was extreme following this so I was giving fentanil, tramadol, endone, neurofen AND finally morphine. Poor body. They sent me home the following day with more antibiotics. So far it was Broad Spec Amoxicillin and Flagyl IV, and sent home with Amoxycillin with Clauvanic Acid. Didn't make me feel healthy I also had a few anti nausea tablets but I don't know what they were. I kept asking the nurses what they were putting in me but often they wouldn't know. Hospital system is not great... but the hemorrhaging stopped and I felt better.
I then got terrible oral thrush, which I treated with nyastin mouth drops, then vaginal trush which I had oral flucanozone for. Oral thrush symptoms gone, however still have downstairs problems so I went back to the doctor and have been diagnosed with VB, opvergrowth of the wrong bacteria in the downstairs area. Have a presciption for that but haven't started it yet, was using red light and sunlight over the weekend and it seems a little improved.
Unfortunately I also began to feel sick again, with more pain and discharge, and there is a suspected ongoing infection in my uterus. back on antibiotics and going in for another space probe to check what's going on.
I'm a bit lost as to what to do, as so many people on the forum are all for the sterile gut and using these types of antibiotics can help with that. Unfortunately the side effects of VB, thrush and oral thrush (and probably internal fungal overgrowth) are quite significant. I'm still wondering how bad all the pain killers affected me. Any advice would be helpful. I'm feeling mentally quite well and positive (I just quit my job, I'm having a sea change and a career change and a four month honeymoon in europe) but body is quite sick still.
