I went to the GI doctor last night and he basically said there is nothing he can do for me until I stop the antibiotics. Because any test he would run would be ineffective because of them. He said he thinks the reason why I feel worse is because the antibiotic is taking all my good bacteria along with my bad bacteria - so he gave me a script for probiotics.
TTC at this point is not really on my mind - who knows if I will even cycle in August - I do not know what kind of blood clotting disorder I have yet - that is why I have to meet with the hematologist. At this point I am more worried about getting well than anything else.
The GI doctor says it may be a parasite they did not test for or post infection IBS - he asked if I could hold out one more week until I was done with the antibiotic and then if I am still sick then go from there with testing and such.
So that is what I am going to do - I am going back to work tomorrow even though I feel like crap. I know I can just make it through the work day and then come home and crash - John has been really good and has been taking care of me. I honestly do not know how chronically ill people do this day in and day out - they are very brave. Thanks for all the support - it means alot to me.

Dang it! I was hoping he could have given you better news. Hopefully the probiotics will do the trick!

Im sorry you are still so sick! Seems like we are going through similar things. Although, the two antibiotics they gave me seem to be doing the trick. And I went back to work yesterday, but I was suffering with it for 2 weeks. Hope you get well girl! I know it really sucks.
