Hey there, so I’m from Canada, and right now I’m on vacation for 13 days. It’s Sunday, and I’ll be heading back home on Tuesday. But let me tell you, for the past 6 days, I’ve been dealing with a nasty stomach bug. Yep, I’ve had the runs for nearly a week now, and it’s been a real struggle. I saw a doctor who prescribed me flagyl to take three times a day until I finish the pack. I’m down to my last few tablets, but honestly, I’m not feeling any better.
I’m at a loss here, not sure what to do next. The thought of getting on a flight back home is giving me major anxiety because I’ve been making frequent trips to the bathroom every hour or so for the past week. It’s definitely put a damper on my vacation, but hey, I’m trying to keep a positive attitude about it all.
I have no clue what caused this, what exactly is going on with my stomach, or why it’s taking so long to clear up. I’ve heard that getting sick while traveling to a different country is pretty common, but I’m stressing out about having to go back to work once I’m back. Taking more time off isn’t really an option for me right now.
Do you have any advice for me? Have you ever been in a similar situation? I could really use some help navigating through this mess.
