Hi MJ. I also just want you to take care of yourself....
I support you 100% my dear friend please know that. Selfishly I want you here forever.
I wish you didn't have to experience the pain.

Love you much. Many hugs!

I have acute diverticulitis disease in my entire colon. I know that this is where the blood is coming from. The cure is two weeks of cipro flagyl and clear liquids. I have been doing this dance with my colon since I was 14. It is just getting worse and worse. If by monday (or if it gets worse) it is not starting to feel better, I will go to the doctor. Sometimes I end up in the hospital for iv antibiotics. I hate that it is 5 days of pain meds which make me so ill and just lying there doing nothing. I am going to speak to the dr and see if he will arrange for a nurse to provide that at home. The antimicrobials are infused in 2 hours and then it dosent get done again for 4 hours. I am allowed a nurse so I am hoping for this kind of treatment. WHen one has a chronic infection the hospital is the worst place to be because you are bombarded by so many more germs leaving you susceptible to more infection. I was in there in Feb. last year and once this summer. It is enough.The pain I can so deal with with heating pads and sub-lingual pain meds. The strong ones in the iv really make me vomit and I hate to vomit.

ha ha
i like that actually
my parents never take my pain or problems seriously either
and its ever so annoying and hurtful
but recently i think i also realised it helps me keep on going
sympathy and help can cripple us i guess

and i think with me i need ignoring actually

hurtful tho it is

so maybe that was your mums idea

of the 'old school'

as they were then

i dunno!

passing blood in your urine isn't ALWAYS as bad as you think

getting checked out mj

if not today then tomorrow

if for no other reason than to ensure the correct antibiotic or pain management

why suffer?

The blood is in my stools. The dr has given me the meds. It is an ongoing process. I do not want to go in because after the colonoscopy in december, his recommendation was for a temporary colostomy and I do not want to go through that.
