So this is my second bout of diverticulitis in a year!

Posted , 1 user is following.

so this 2nd time around i did not know whether it was an attack or infection ?

what is the difference in the early stages?

i have dull pain in let side ans back period like pain, also become less mobile pains in my legs ans hips, become lethargic almost feel wiped out ! is this really normal ? does anyone else suffer this so bad ?

is this a flare up or infection ?

so i thought ok, i will just take 7 days antibiotics that i had in my draw as a stand by for holiday etc then began to feel better

then 4 days later it started again !

in the meantime i have really high blood presure out of nowhere

go to hospital ans now on blood presure tablets

i am now wondering is this all linked to infection ? ?

i feell the more fibre i have to worse i feel !!

i am usually a very active person running and always on my feet throughout the day

this makes me so depressed aswell

I was also perscribed Colofac is this to be taken for life on a daily basis ?

please can someone help

regards
