Yasmine 109 Posted January 16, 2013 So I'm 2 months ... And I keep getting sick. Before I had surgery I got the flu shot to protect me, but no luck :/ So far I've had ear & throat pain, and tested positive for Strep... Started 10 days of antibiotics My new tummy doesn't like the antibiotics, and I have constant diarrhea... Lucky me lol I was feeling better- No ear or throat pain, but now I started to get a sinus cold/flu. I feel congested, weak, and my entire body aches And as if that all wasn't enough... I think those antibiotics are causing me to develop an yeast infection... WTFudge!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsGina 101 Posted January 16, 2013 Hi Yasmine, I am pre op and have had the flu shot and still went through what your going through. We are in a flu epidemic so it's kinda expected. Keep your head up, spring is coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vidalia 122 Posted January 16, 2013 I could have written your post at this very minute! I have missed the last two days of work because of the same things and I am also on 10 days of antibiotics and having problems with them. I started with a liquid and could not tolerate it. I ask for another type that I could crush for shorter amount of time. I went to pick it up and he just gave me capsules that I have to take two of them 4 times a day for 10 days! Geez! I think they are upsetting my stomach. I also had the flu shot before surgery. I have been sick before, but this time it is different. I feel weaker and less able to get over it like am usually able to do. I feel your pain. I hope it will not always be this way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woman in me 307 Posted January 26, 2013 Your enzymes are probably low due to surgery. Try taking a probiotic or something to increase your enzymes. 1 Yasmine reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
