Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Bad day again! This time IBS joins in the fun...

*groan* I feel awful. I was just sent home from work and now I am at home and feel.. awful.
I started taking the anti-biotics the doc gave me last night and I don't know if it's them, or IBS, or a different reason but I have been really stomach-sick today.
I was at work, and I started feeling really shakey and then got these terrible pains across my stomach. So I went to the bathroom, and couldn't go but the pains were so bad I was doubled over for about ten minutes. About ten minutes after that, I had to high-tail it to the potty again, this time so I could have the same cramps but alongside some really bad D. It was so awful, and I have been feeling okay in that way for so long that I just broke down and started crying in the bathroom stall at work!
I can't understand this, and I just feel like stomping my feet and saying, "It's not fair!!"
Now I am nauseous as anything (I really thought I would throw up about 5 times at work), stomach is aching, I still have a UTI and now I am really worrying about having D again. I am shakey and weak and I just feel so frustrated and upset.
I know I have been complaining a lot lately, but I kinda felt like I was holding it together but I just can't today. I am so over emotional, it's ridiculous.
Does anyone know if anti-biotics can do this to you? If so, will I just have to live with it as you have to complete a course (7 days!) of anti-biotics, right?
I have a doctor's appointment Friday, but I might call in for an urgent one tomorrow if I can... 2 days of peeing blood and now this? I feel like my body is falling apart, I don't even want to tell my boyfriend 'cause he'll just say, "You're always sick" or something and then I'll feel even worse... I AM always sick... If it's not one thing, it's another.
I was so upset at work that when my boss said to me, "You look like you shouldn't be here today" I said I didn't want to take a sick day because I don't want to be sick. She said she wouldn't mark me as sick, and she was nice about it but I was so upset I nearly start bawling again right in the middle of my office.
Sorry I do so much whining lately, I promise I will post some good news as soon as I get any!
Thanks for all the love and support, I seriously don't know what I would do if I didn't have anyone to talk to about stuff.
