Helicobacter Forums

Hi,
I am writing to get some suggestions to how reduce the simptoms of H. pylori.
From the endoscopy results that I am pretty full of it, probably I took it long time ago and now I am literally destroyed.
I started the triple antibiotic treatment a couple of days ago and I really do not feel well. I have all the simptoms: strong stomac pain, nausea and I feel very tired and I also have ansia during the night and the mornings. I feel very weack and irritable and my mood changes rapidly during the day. It is very difficult to concentrate for more than 1 hour consecutively and I feel psycologically very different from what I actually am. I am in a difficult moment at work and I am trying to make all the possible efforts but it is very difficult to hendle all the simptoms. Last week I resisted at work untill wednesday and I had a awful night without beeing able to sleep so that I had to stay home the rest of the week. Because I did the endoscopy in Italy but I live and work in London, my family sent me by post the antibiotic treatment and I never spoke directly with a doctor. If is possible I would like to know if all the simptoms I have are normal and if there is a way to limitate them. It is very difficult to hendle the treatment in this way I don't know what to do. I am worried also for my job.

Thank you very much for your help.

hmm... I am afraid you have to finish your current antibiotics treatment first. are you taking aspirin or NSAID for pain killer? you'll probably need to switch to paracetamol. NSAID, if not taken correctly, will cause stomach ulcer.

Hi I'm sorry to hear your story. The symptoms you have a very commun during treatment. I also think your stress from work make them worse. I understand it is difficult but you have to finish your treatment and then you will feel much better. It's bad weeks you have to go through. Try to think positive, I have read about many people like you and they all say they feel so much better now that it was worth going through this difficult time. If I were you I would try a few things to relax myself: spa, massage... whatever makes you feel better. Good luck

Thank you very much for you answers.
I am not taking painkillers because they make me vomit immediately and I am scared to vomit the antibiotic too. Massages, SPA and this kind of help may work but I can't make it now, maybe when I feel better.
Today I won't go to work I am destroyed. If as you say I will feel like that till the end of the treatment I am in real trouble. As much as I push myself doing thinks as much I feel bad. How people with my syntoms do? How they hendle life? They stay away from work, stress and everything for all the duration of the treatment?
I have to stop pushing myself and ask to the doctor the bloody certificate?

Thanks,

Hi, just checking your progress. have you seen a specialist or been taking antibiotics?

I finished yesterday with the very strong triple antibiotic treatment. I am looking forward to know that are all dead but I have to wait for this satisfaction. Thanks for checking.
