Is this normal for diverticulitis?

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum but have been reading through other people's posts. I've been suffering with mild diverticulitis for over 2 months. Just taking another course of antibiotics and finally the pains have near enough gone but now i'm starting to have these hot flushes, tiredness and light headed every so often in the day. Is this a normal part of recovery or infection? I feel a little anxious with it so, any good advice would be great!

    Hi Mandy hope you’re feeling better. Did you have 2 episodes back to back?  I’m sure taking all the antibiotics you would have some side effects. I’m very anxious too and can make us feel bad.  I’m on my 2nd flare up in 1 month.  Maybe the first round did t work.

      Hi Cindy, im feeling a better the past few days, thanks. Pains not as bad but still there and tender. The weather has been stormy here so could be a sinus headache mixed with everything else making me feel off or just the fact I'm still run down and recovering, but not sure. What I do know, is that I've had a terrible time for months! How are you feeling now?
