Thanks. I will be going to GP next week. I will let you know. I feel like my flares are constant. They wear me out.

Went to GP. Prescribed another set of antibiotics. I think this is my 3rd or 4th in the past year. If this does not work which it probably won't based on my past history, I will be referred to a Surgeon for CT colonoscopy and possible surgery. The antibiotics have me in the bathroom all day. I will start them tomorrow. I am dreading the side effects.

I am so upset about all this. I decided to eat a hot dog. Big mistake. I have so much pain. I am confused. I have had about 3 sets of antibiotics but I was disgnosed with diverticulosis never with diverticulitis. By the time I had my colonoscopies and CT scan there was no infection. Diverticulitis could not be seen. However since the last flare up about 4 months ago I have been having constant pain and discomfort. Loose bowel movements followed by constipation and a feeling of unwellness. Chills also. What does this mean? It just does not feel right.

I have been in terrible pain the whole weekend. Nothing is working. I have to wait to go finish the antibiotics before I gi back to the doctor. Does an ultrasoubd show anything? Was thinking of going to Emergency.
