So, I had my gastro appointment and left frustrated.  She says that I have an infection and is going to put me on Cipro and Flagyl! :(  I told her about my ER visit about 6 weeks ago so she has her assistant get the info from that hospital.  She asks me did they give you anti-biotics, I answered NO.  When she got the notes she sees that I had an increased white count, but nothing was done about it. 

I'm annoyed, frustrated, drained and I want to give up.  This whole time she had told me I had crohn's and that the diverticulum came back after my surgery.  So, I call today to find out what I have.  Her assistant calls back and says that I don't have crohn's or colitis, she said I have diverticulitis, gastritis and diversion colitis.  Are you freakin kidding me?!  She claims I don't have symptoms for crohn's or UC!!!  The only symptom I don't have is weight loss.  What do I do, who am I suppose to go to??????

I feel so lost and alone and I want to curl up in a ball and just die!  There is no way this is diversion colitis, I have been having all of this pain since right after the colostomy was reversed.  Which was 5-6 months after my resection.  I have fatigue, nausea (sometimes vomiting), joint pain/swelling, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), sometimes constipation, depression, weight gain, hair loss, etc.  I need advice.....someone help!
