A and e!!!

Hi

Hope you are all as well as can be. Went to drs this morning hurting so much cos of all my ailments. She thought it could be a diverticulitis flare up. Said if I go worse to phone them back which I did but couldn't get an appointment!! Went to a and e , cut a long story short, definitely a flare up, gave me 2 lots of antibiotics, one of which makes me sick. She said try it but take omeprazole before it, well that worked 😁. If I'm no better in 48 hours I've got to go back to a and e 😟. Keeping my fingers crossed!! Lots of love and hugs Lynne xxxx

Hey Lynne I feel for you.

I had to go A snd E just before Christmas because of these awful pains and blood coming out of where it shouldn’t. Had colonoscopy a month later - I suppose you did? Same result - diverticulosis. Supposed to affect 1 in 3 older people but that doesn’t help when diverti has got it in for you.

Antibiotics worked for me but took the whole week’s worth!👎🏻 Or 👍 (half empty or half full 😁)

Hope the pain goes soon!

Hi

How are you feeling?

Thank

you. Had colonoscopy in December but the prep hadn't worked properly so I've got have another one, I see my consultant at end of February, he wants to discuss it with me. Take care Lynne

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Oh no not the prep again, although it wasn’t the taste - I took advice from someone here (forget who ☹️) who said counter the taste with squash. I did and it did. It was just the forcing it down I found a pain (but not as bad as the groin pain 😁). I got told the result there and then - I must have been a lucky man yet again 😁.

Hope second one goes better for you!

Good luck.

I have 3 friends who suffer with diverticulitis. They get flare ups but they all know now their individual triggers. One of my friends does a post mortem on her food when we dine out. Skin has to be removed from sausages, nothing with a firm outer shell,peas sweetcorn etc. Hope your pain subsides with the anti biotics, Best wishes Hazelx

[Hidden]

Yes, so do I, don't know what it was, I've looked back as to what I've had and can't identify it. Take care Lynne

[Hidden]

I feel for you Lynne, diverticulitis is not nice ☹️ I used to get really bad attack’s years ago and ended up in hospital and then off work for two weeks.

The funny thing was I always went back to work looking fantastic after getting rid of all what I was carrying inside.

Nowadays I make sure that I don’t too bunged up before taking something. Therefore any attacks aren’t as painful. I’ve also found that a cup of hot sweet tea ( I don’t take sugar normally) and a hot water bottle is great company when sat on the loo 😉

I hope you feel better soon
