Dude as a long time suffer of diverticulitis, I can atest to the fact it is nothing to f around with, im headed for a full colon surgery this year through the VA, I first got sick on my 3rd deployment to Afghanistan in 09..no one knew what was wrong, and even though over the years I have had my colonoscopy every 3 years, they never thought to even tell me that i had it, until last April when I ended up in the ER, thinking my gut had ripped open lololol. So now I get ill about every 3 weeks, and i just try to ride it out, meds dont help,, there is no proof that antibiotics help in the recovery, change in diet does not help, as it is a illness of inflamation, however lower fat foods are always good for you. I hope that there will be enough good colon left so I dont end up with a bag, but im set in my mind if it all has to come out then lets get it done so i can move on with my life.I hope you find out what is going on..cheers and keep on plinking, if you can.You all are about the only people I talk to these days.
No secret I've been ill lately, I've been bringing it up more than ever.
I have no idea what is wrong. Been going to the doctor a lot to try and figure out what is wrong. That in itself isn't helping with my attitude!
I've been a grumpy as F… lately though. It is really dragging me down and I don't like it. Anyone here that has met me knows I'm not a downer.
Short story, I'm pretty sure Covid caused some sort of long term health problem or it at least brought it to the surface. I've been screened before and showed some signs of diverticulitis, that was about 5 years ago. I've had what feels like food get stuck in my bowel for years, it's usually a one night thing and it goes away.
Lately it's a 24/7 thing and it sucks!
Anyways, you all have always been good to me, for the most part, so I'm looking for advice on how not to be a dick.
I've noticed my attitude on a lot of things go negative and I'm aware of it. I'd like that to stop and if you all have something I should do or try I'm all ears.
Thanks!
