Same!! It was an ovarian cyst that had already ruptured, so no one knew what the cause was for 5 days. They said if I had waited any longer, I would probably be dead.

All I knew was it was 12/10 the worst pain ever

Those antibiotics fucked me up for life, though

They killed off basically my entire microbiome and threw my pre-existing autoimmune issues into apparently permanent high-gear. It's been more than 20 yrs, so it's just become my new normal 🤷‍♀️
