after 2 months of suffering i can finally tell that it was definetely from doing pilates at home after previously never working out again, i had a history of dyspepsia but it was never nausea and one day i woke up and it never left and it was hand in hand with bloating and everything else, tried many pills and after 2 months i am now sure that it was that, i dont have nausea and and the bloating slowly went down with ppis and stress management (for me it really helps as a thought to have “on demand” pills that know that help me and not constant medication, because part of my problem is the anxiety that im gonna be bloated)

i had some pain and fluid in some joints over the years but nothing this bad and now after a bad sore throat my knees filled up with fluid and my soles hurt like crazy, i am on cortisone right now

But i wanted to know if someone has been through parvovirus B19 because i dont have a history of arthritis in my family

ive started therapy after a flare and my symptoms are generally all better now (im still taking acid blockers) but my question is what if i just suggest i take an anti-anxiety med that fits my anxiety because this when my symptoms get worse and not ask my gastroenterologist for amitryptiline or other specific symptom related antidepressant?

i mean arent those prescribed in low doses for the symptoms? can someone that has more experience with antidepressants explain to me more about them?
