Red face I am a mess!!!

I have been fighting a sinus infection for several weeks. So about four weeks ago, I succumbed and went on antibiotics. The antibiotics caused digestive problems which eventually lead to IBS. Since December 24th, I have been experiencing bleeding and what I think are massive hemorrhoids. ( sorry for being so graphic) I tried to treat this with over the counter meds and once I returned home from Christmas (was out of state), I had a prescription filled last Thursday for suppositories. They have not really helped. Bleeding is a bit less. I have also tried sitz baths and even bought one of those round donut "thingies" to sit on. Now I am waiting for the office to open at 8:00 so I can call and see if I can get an appointment today. I am dreading the exam because I am in so much pain, and also dreading hearing the colonoscopy word again. I just had one in May 2008. Oh -- and I still have sinus problems.
