I just feel so weak and drained right now. What else can I do?

I have lived with IBS-D for many, many years. This past week, I came down w/bronchitis and my doc put me on azithromax for 5 days. By day 4, the diarrhea was so bad, I stopped taking it. I have taken probiotics all along, and electrolytes. I just feel so weak and drained right now. What else can I do?

    Thanks for posting this question, NTiffany. I'm sorry to hear about the bronchitis and the reaction to the antibiotics! That does not sound fun at all. You're definitely not alone in your feelings of fatigue and being drained. Please feel free to come back anytime to share with us! - Chris, (IrritableBowelSyndrome.net Team Member)

      I'm so sorry you feel so drained! IBS and its symptoms can really bring on some all mighty fatigue. How have you been feeling as of late? I hope you've been able to manage your worst symptoms and feel better for it. Would love to know! Wishing you a gentle and symptom-free day ~ Sawyer (team member)

      Do you ever feel that you have to "fight" to be heard by your doctor?
