diverticulitis

[YogaFriend]

hello

Well.., diverticulitis is not nice at all. New to me and having got to age 64 fairly unscathed apart from anxiety, am feeling a bit vulnerable. Woke with abdo pain +++ and was away visiting family struggled on but when I got home pain was worse and went to see Dr. Given abx and pain subsided. Blood test shows raised inflammatory markers for infection. Long story short I ended up in A and E as pain kept coming back - CT scan confirmed diverticulitis. Agree with other members that pain is horrid, tiredness is also very real but anxiety levels are now stratospheric which also doesn’t help I know. Hoping all this will calm down and if anyone out there has similar experience I would be really pleased to read any of your posts. Thanks.

I. Have had Diverticulitis for many years

When it flares up nothing helps and yes it’s the anguish as well it causes doctors just give antibiotics which makes it work
