Re: Has anyone ever had Diverticulitis?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Yes, I have had diverticulitis for about 10 years and had to have a bowel

re-section about 7 years ago. It is a painful condition and I have often

wondered if it is in any way more prevalent among our dwarf community.

Most of my efforts to prevent re-infections has not been successful, as I

continue to have problems. Even as we speak, I am scheduled for a CT scan today

for this condition.

Just curious if others have had problems in this area?

Thanks,

Bill

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the replies. It baffels me because it says

it occurs for middle age/elderly folks and I'm only

28! My doctor told me however it wasn't anything I

did, just happened randomly. I am on two antibiotics

and a pain med. I hardly get sick but when I do it's

the most random stuff like a kidney stone or this. A

year ago I had pneumonia! I consider myself healthy

though, great weight and blood pressure, don't really

eat junk food anymore, but I'm sure I could increase

the grains and veggies more than what I do. It is

painful and I feel like one of those little african

kids with the big stomachs if I had to use an analogy.

I do have to say I went to an urgent care clinic

yesterday and the doctors assistant took my blood and

omg, if I could take him with me everytime I went to

have blood taken that would be great. He got one tube

from one arm one prick and the second tube from the

other arm one prick only!! It's been years since it

only took two times. He's my age and was hilarious,

he was having serious convos with my vains lol.
