I went to the doctor on thursday. He examined me and told me it would just take a while for things to get back to normal. It turns out my hot flashes and nausea are the result of anxiety over this issue so I've been taking Xanax as needed to help reduce anxiety attacks. That is why I would feel like I was running a fever, but wasn't according to the thermometer. Also I would have rapid heartbeat and the feeling of adrenaline. So at least I know the cause of all of that.

Unfortunately, today my lower left side has hurt almost all day. And I've had diarrhea. However, it wasn't the same type of pain I had with the infection. today the pain comes and goes. It will come for about 10 seconds at a time and disappear for minutes at a time. Walking and doing a lot of movement seems to make it happen more often.   So I am not sure exactly the cause of this pain. I hear people on here talk about having little "attacks" every now and then that don't require treatment. And some people associate it with certain things they ate.

I'm wondering if I've been eating too much fiber. Every since I went back on solid foods I was determined not to be constipated anymore since I spend 6 months out of the year constipated. So I've been eating high fiber foods. Well, I certainly haven't been constipated. My stool has been the softest it has ever been... but today is a bit too soft, more like diarrhea but without the actual liquid.. Not sure if that could be the cause of the pain or not. anyway, obviously I'm still worried about this.
