    • About Me

      I am about to be 30. I am a data entry/office assistant for a local family owned bakery. I dont have any children, only a dog and cat, which are just like my kids! I recently found out that I have diverticulitis, and am getting ready to undergo the surgery, which I am really nervous about.

    • Close Diverticulitis

      I am 29, and I was diagnosed last year with signifigant diverticulitus for my age. I had a colonoscopy done, and the doctor removed a polyp, which thank goodness turned out to be benign. Now I get the joy of a colonoscopy every 3 years. I have had 4 attacks in less then a year, so they suggested surgery and if I do it when Im not having an attack that my recovery process will be better.I may as well just do it, since the possibility of me having more attacks is very likely. Im nervous.

      Treatments

      Cipro Working / Worked
      normal
      High Fiber Diet Somewhat Helpful
      Levaquin Working / Worked
      normal
      Flagyl Somewhat Helpful
      this medication works but gave me yeast infections nausea and headaches.
