Medication Malaise

One of the antibiotics I have to take for diverticulitis is a pisser. We don’t get along at all. There’s no getting around taking it even though there’s a new treatment protocol… Which includes the cousin of an antibiotic I’m allergic to. So I sit here fighting:

• Depression
• Extreme reaction to things I can normally handle
• Diarrhea
• Gut, which is already not happy, never stops grumbling
• A horrible taste in my mouth
• Fatigue
• Heightened sense of smell, which I already have…

Seven days to go!
