When am I going to finally feel better?!

So, as most of you know, I've been sick recently. I was diagnosed aboutten days ago with hemorrhagic cystitis and a secondary kidney infection. I have since been to the hospital and ER twice in the span of as many weeks. And I'm beyond frustrated.

I'm sick. I'm tired. I'm in pain.

I've been on two antibiotics - Cipro and Macrobid. I was told this second time that I should start to feel relief within 24-hours, but I haven't. I'm still miserable. I am also taking an anti-nausea medication called Phenergen (sp) and two different types of pain medications. I feel like I'm walking around in a daze - that is, if I'm able to walk at all! Ugh!

I went to work today for the first time in two weeks (I work part time and basically set my own schedule) and literally fell asleep at my desk. I couldn't keep my eyes open. It was embarrassing since a woman knocked on my office door and I near fell out of my seat with her watching me! I'm just sick of this and want to be healthy again.

I'm not sure what I wanted by posting this. I just needed to get some of this anger and frustration out. It's not been a good two weeks. Please tell me it'll get better...

I'm sorry to hear that you still are feeling bad. :hug:

Just for some info,Macrobid will make you sleepy. I just got off of Macrobid and onto Cipro. I had a very bad allergic reaction to Macrobid. I woke up w/ tingling/numbness on the left side of my face and it went down to my arm. By that evening, my throat started to feel like it's swelling...mind you that I had been off of the drug for a whole day already. After a couple benadryl and on the Cipro I feel fine. After reading online all the side affects and first hand experiences of Macrobid, I would have never taken it.

Either way, I hope you feel better soon! I really usually try to find more 'herbal' solutions when it comes to taking a lot of meds. I hate feeling all hazy too. For anti-nausea, try peppermint or gingertea or ginger root either grated or in capsules. Ginger is awesome. That usually helps me.

sometimes you just need to let it out no reasons...no excuses needed. I'm so very sorry that you are in pain. Hopefully the painwill subside soon. You are in my thoughts and prayers. :hug:
