...because my gastritis/possible stomach ulcer has gotten pretty severe, but I can't sit up (severe orthostatic intolerance), and I don't know if I can mentally take the verbal beating a 'normal' doctor will give me for taking long-term antibiotics for a disease they don't believe in.
And with these severe stomach and gut issues I have, I know the condemnation is coming. My stomach hurts so bad, and the area around my appendix burns so bad. There is something wrong that needs fixed bad.
I know the appendix area is an infection. Antibiotics help it. I'm worried the bowel may perforate though, because the inflammation is so bad at this point. It's been growing for a year now. The stomach/gastritis... I don't know. Might be H. Pylori, but who knows.
Anyway, I'm a wreck, my Lyme doc can't help these new problems, and the doctors that can help will probably say I caused it by taking all the meds that have probably kept me alive in the first place (but I don't think the meds did it).
Sorry to rant, but I'm in a very tough spot here, both physically and emotionally. Not sure what to do... If my stomach would heal, I could deal with horrible Lyme. My stomach has me stressed bad though.
