HI everyone,
I have suffered with my stomach and bowels for about 9 yrs and was always told it was IBS. I was never really convinced. Before christmas I had a problem with throat and not being able to swallow and after edoscopy was told I had inflammed Oseophagitis. I was doing pretty well for a while and then had flare up of stomach and bowel again. I recovered from that and then in January got struck down with something alot worse than I ever had. All along docs said it was a virus. I wasnt convinced as last 6 weeks. It even involved trip to A and E. Long story shory I had a colonoscopy and was told I had Diverticulitis and was sent on my merry way with a leaflet. Still a month on I am waiting biospy report. Consultants secretary said I have been discharged. I am none of the wiser. I have awful exhaustion, aches and pains, stomach is always painful and run a low fever of around 38. I wake up dripping wet and starting to feel like I just have no energy and started to have low level anxiety. Does this all sound familier to you all? any advice or comments would be greatly received.

I was not treated early enough when my problems started and as a result have sufferred with re occuring flares that now leave me quite debilitated and isolated.
Make an appointment today. They can check with blood tests to see if your white count it higher than it should be indicating an infection and inflammation.
Best. Donna

I'm recovering from bowel surgery my 2nd in a month. I ended up with a colostomy. I found I had diverticular disease after a test in
2010. I put up with abdo pain/upset stomach months thinking it's
stress of job.
I had week high temp,sweats fever right sided groin pain I went to Dr 3 times in a week. Given laxatives first time,omg the pain he'll. Next morning I went back liquid diet 48 hrs come back. I did go back 48 hrs to SAU admitted a cat scan showed diverticulum had erupted a hole/sepsis. Emergency op keyhole that all settled after iv antibiotics and oral for a week. The fever,pains lack of energy returned. Again admitted three weeks after first op for cat scan emergency op re bowel stricture and more infection. Part of my large bowel removed and a colostomy fitted. I'm tired yes post surgery. I urge you to go back to see gp re fever! Don't let it get past fever.
