Hi. I took an antibiotic about a month ago (for a bacterial infection. It didn t cure my mild symptom and I m uncertain if it was really necessary at all). I had quite a few side effects during the course of treatment (nausea, dizziness, tongue numbness, dryness in mouth and vagina, abdominal bloating, medicinal taste, constipation, tingling in fingers and toes, terrible burning chill in chest, flushing/feverishness and paleness, runny nose and sore throat, etc...) My Doctor assured me that the side effects would go away immediately after treatment. Most of those lasted 3 weeks after (including a delay in my monthly menstruation by 7 days). It is now a month since the medication, and I have since started taking probiotic capsules (a couple of days after), as well as Vitamin B12, Garlic Extract, Folic Acid, Vitamin C (a week after), and just last night, Vitamin D. I also started eating mostly fruits and veggies and antioxidant-rich foods and getting exercise every day soon after the pills were done. A week after treatment, I also took a week-long natural cleanse including small green drinks and capsules. I felt like I had put poison into my body and I just wanted to get it out. I felt so sick all of the time, couldn t sleep, and was always so cold. I would get into a hot bath in the middle of the night to try and warm up. It felt like I had poison radiating in my chest. Even now, a month later, I am having what I think are still side effects- sleeplessness, flushing/feverishness, sore throat and stuffy nose on and off, constipation/unusual bms, pressure in chest and palpitations, depression, anxiety, and now more recently, pain in my left side- side, arm/under arm/armpit, back, chest, neck, ear, and now the left side of my tongue. I am really scared that the medication has hurt me somehow (I ve also read some scary things online about antibiotics and that one in particular). My Dr. won t answer my questions or let me come in for an exam. I ve had another swab, urine test, and routine blood test, and they have all come back normal. Please give me your advice. I have always been healthy and my body is very sensitive to chemicals. I have made a point not to put any unneccessary chemicals into it for years, even anti-perspirant (I use deoderant), flu shots, over-the counter pills, etc.... now I feel sick all the time, am having all of these symptoms, and I am scared :(
