Acute Diverticulitis.
Fever of 104 degrees (Fahrenheit, for our Eurodoper friends).
I was so feverish.
Chills, confusion, terrible muscle weakness.
I’m at home now, with ciprofloxacin hcl 500, & the generic Flagyl 500.
Saturday was the free outdoors Jazz Fest on the town square.
I missed it.
Diverticulitis sucks. I hope they’ve got you on the road to recovery.
I’m sorry, Bosda! I’m on Flagyl, too, and Levaquin. I had horrible abdominal pain Thursday night and ended up in the ER. Had a CT scan and said there was “colon inflammation” and they couldn’t explain it. One theory is that I have pockets of chemo still in my body from the topical treatment I had in my abdomen and one of them burst. Holy crap, who would’ve ever thought that? My treatment was four years ago. I was due for my yearly CT scan, anyway, and got the news there were no signs of cancer. Made it worth it.
I’m not actually sure why I’m on the antibiotics; I was a little fuzzy from the morphine. Anyway, I empathize with your pain! I hope you can tolerate yogurt to counteract the antibiotics and that you’re over this soon.
ETA: Didn’t mean to make it all about me! I hope that’s not how I came off. United in gut pain, we are (yours was worse, though).
Just popping in to say I hope you get well soon.
Yikes! Feel better soonest, Bosda!!
That sounds nasty. It must have hurt like hell. I hope you are pleasantly on the mend.
How long have you had diverticulitis? There is no cure for it.
So you are mad that the hospital could not cure you. There no cure for it.
If you have diverticulitis you have it for life. There is nothing the doctor can do.
Where did he say anything of the sort?
I hope you feel better soon.
I had to have surgery to fix my Diverticulitis. Removed part of my colon.
Get well soon.
Reported for being a jerk.
Quoted to correct your false information.
Diverticulitis is certainly curable in a vast majority of cases. Diverticulosis, on the other hand, is a more or less permanent condition barring surgical excision. If you don’t know the difference between the two then you should not be posting this kind of crap.
The OP was not clear how long he had this before the OP gone to the hospital?
The OP said 3 days in hospital–I feel like Hell.
The OP never said what happen in the hospital or what they did. How long the OP had it and what was going on before and in the hospital.
The OP was not clear what being upset about the sickness or lack of care in the hospital? Or wanting the hospital to do this or that.
Where did the OP say or even imply that he was mad?
This is out of line for this topic, don’t post in this thread if you’re going to make posts like these in it.
Everybody except you seems to be able to understand the OP just fine. The only thing he seems upset about is missing the Jazz Fest. Not everyone posting about a medical issue is bitching about something being done wrong.
Ciprofloxacin and Levaquin (levofloxacin, I think) are industrial-strength antibiotics of the fluoroquinolone class, that can have dreadful and long-lasting (possibly permanent) adverse affects, sometimes including serious neurological and brain damage. I would refuse any such meds if there were any alternative, and maybe even if there wasn’t. I know of one patient who refused Levaquin and was offered Keflex instead, so that might be an alternative.
Bosda, if you are a chronic sufferer of diverticulitis, and your doctor suggests surgery at some point, ask him or her about laparoscopic colectomy. As the name implies, part of the bowel/colon is removed via minimally invasive surgery, and recovery is a bit faster (so I’ve been told) than traditional surgery via a long incision.
Just a suggestion. Feel better soon!
I’m sorry you’re suffering.
In my case, the fever has left me confused, but yes, I’m out, & at home.
Weak, but home.
Luck to you.
My thanks. 
Nobody has used the word chromnic yet.
But thanks.
