  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Unfortunately, as everyone's situation is different, we can't really advise on someone's symptoms on this forum. And forum users do not always post again on threads, especially if it turns out to be nothing, so you may not see any recent updates. 

    I can appreciate your current concerns, and hope that things resolve for you soon. Do bear in mind that symptoms are not necessarily related to each other, such as your loose bowels, (which may be due to the antibiotics). 

    Do keep your doctors informed of your ongoing symptoms, and they can advise you further.

    Kind regards,

    Vanda
