Clean and clear poop

Wow, what mad few weeks I've had.
Was in hospital for three days.
Sat around forever - did urine test, blood tests and an x-ray.
Yep, everything came out fine as usually.
Was told I might have ulcers, gastritis or hernia hiatus.
First was told that ulcers are caused by H. Pylori bacteria.
Had to take two tablets of Klacid and another two tablets of Flagyl a day.
Plus Gaviscon three times a day and Zoton twice a day.
The two last ones didn't help at all.
The two first ones I took for one day only cause antibiotics make you very sick.
As I've said before - I feel sick as it is, don't need to take any medicine to make me feel bad.
Saw another doctor - said the ulcers could be caused by stress and not bacteria - but still made me take antibiotics that are for eradicating bacteria.
Spoke yet to another doctor - said I shouldn't be taking antibiotics if I don't have a proper diagnosis based on proper tests - at last someone with a little sense in their head.
Scrapped all the medicine.
Went to nature shop and GP.
Okay, if you're ever desperately sick, always turn to our lovely Mother Earth.
Bought two weeks supply of Mastika capsules (three capsules twice a day) and Manuka honey with them. Super soothing and no side effects what so ever.
GP gave me a PPI in a tablet called Pantup - not a natural thing so feeling sick and diarrhea are expected, but at least it's helping.
Anyway, been off work for about two months and nothing has been done by doctors to suss me out.
GP sent a letter to hospital about barium meal, endoscopy and told them it was urgent.
Yep, been waiting for two weeks...and will be waiting even more.
Okay, I received a letter about barium meal - that's the radioactive drink stuff - I was told to ring them up on the first day of my period to make an appointment. Okay!
Should be next week so.
Oh and yeah had a very low point aswell - tried to kill myself - felt too sick to live.
Talked to a psychiatrist in hospital - yeah, I've told the same story about my poor health about a million times and nobody gives answers. I don't need ears that listen to my problems, I need a clever mind to understand it and a kick in some doctor's arse to make things moving towards my good health.
Yeah, had been waiting for a few months for an appointment with a psychologist - for anxiety management.
Yeah, airhead me forgot about it. Well, messed up the date. Have to wait another two weeks now - not too bad.
Oh and got a call from another hospital - about an appointment for a breath test - they'll send a letter with the time and all. They just didn't have my last name and birth date.

So, in short -
*Have a barium meal coming up soon
*Breath test
*Anxiety management
*Gynecologist on Saturday (lower tummy and back aches during and for hours after sex aren't fun nor pleasurable)

On another note - my boyfriend moved out of my house, in with his college friends.
Hasn't been too bad - although today when he came over he said I looked 'terrible'. Thanks, I like you too.
Oh well, I hadn't slept all night - had a one off last night: felt sick again since getting a lot better.
Oh and I ran out of Clearasil's Blackhead Removing Scrub Yoke and bought some Clean & Clear poop (cause the pharmacy selling that was closer than the Clearasil selling one).
Meaning - my skin's a mess thanks to that clean and clear poop.
So yeah, I've been looking terrible, I know.
