Hey guys,
I'm a bit sad and happy to be back here. Sad, because I wanted to be healed, healthy, and back to my normal life, but happy to be back in a community of sorts. I was just hoping to find someone to talk to. I feel a bit hopeless when it comes to my health. I have had multiple infections and other health problems over the last two years, and it's starting to feel like this is what my life is going to be like.
I'm only 22 years old, but over the past two years I have had: more than 2 bladder infections, one lead to a serious kidney infection, multiple colds/flus, strep throat, these damn anal fissures for the past year, and just when my anal fissure almost completely heals, I get pelvic inflammatory disease. When the doctor told me, I bursted out in tears, and both him and the nurse were surprised by my reaction. How could they act so surprised? Isn't this a disease that can cause permanent damage to a woman's reproductive system? A disease that causes many women to become infertile? Maybe I should take it as a sign that it's probably not going to cause damage, but this is still very tiring.
Now I'm on anti-fungal and antibiotics.. I have supplemented with probiotics, but I'm starting to feel that pulse down there. Man, I just don't know what to think. I am so good to my body, I honestly treat it like a temple. I barely drink (maybe 2-4 times per year), don't smoke, don't take medication unless it's absolutely required, and I eat the most restricted diet. I'm just so tired of my body breaking down after only being healthy for a week or two . I'm going to try to do more things to improve my overall health, but for now I am just so confused. Why do some people get so many infections and health problems, even when they are doing everything "right"? And then, there are the people who eat pizza, deep-fried food, drink excessively and smoke, and they are clean as a whistle?? It doesn't make any sense .
Anyways, sorry for the long rant. I just really needed to get it out, and just hoping maybe someone on this board could offer some support. Or maybe someone has had P.I.D and might be able to offer some words of wisdom. Thanks <3
