Posted , 6 users are following.
i was diagonosed with polyps in colon about 10 yrs ago after having a flare up of Diverticulitis which up until then my hospital /Dr had not informed me that i had polyps :-( since then i have been fine until easter this year. i started having pain down my left hand side and into my groin where i was having acute stabbing pain. i gave it 2 weeks for it to subside but it didnt..i went to the Dr and was told its a gastric bug..take yackult and eat healthy... since doing that the symtoms have got worse with nausea until a point where i completely went off my food for 2-3 days i then visited the Drs again which i was then told that it was diverticulitis. i was put on antibiotics and told to contact the practice if things got any worse...after a week of these and still hardly eating anything i decided i would try a normal meal ( pie and chips - low fibre easy to digest) that night i was in pain with my side and couldnt sleep properly and contacted the Dr again. i have had a different set of antibiotics and told to try and eat if i can and come back next week ......i am at my wits end... besides feeling nauseuas constantly. not had a proper bowel movement in nearly a month and pain in my side on and off.. i just dont know what else to do.. i feel i am on my own and fighting a losing battle. ive lost nearly 10kgs in weight and most of the time im in a daze and just feel so weak.. i dont know what else i can say or do.. this has been going on for what feels like months now.... can anyone help or give any advice.

You are at least on a drip and being tested
They should be able to advise what is the way forward
That is more than your GP gave
Never give up.
You may think it's the end of the line
but I can assure you present problems will ease
We have all been there at various stages with the Dammed DD
We are always here to assist each other
