So the last few months Ive been suffering from a set of new ailments. Not starting the year well so far.

I had to go to the doctor thinking I had a bladder infection. The doctor called me the next day and told me to go the ER. So the 1st of November I was later admitted to the hospital. After an ultrasound, cat scan and x-rays it was found I am suffering from diverticulitis. After a few days in the hospital, antibiotics in and to take home. Was doing ok afterwards.

I went and had a colonoscopy last week, Friday. They found the diverticulitis all almost together along with polyps which they removed. For the diverticulitis a suggestion of surgically removal of the intestines affected. And then ended up in the ER the same night due to migraines and vomiting, all due to dehydration from the prep for the colonoscopy. Ive been having a very up and down time since the procedure.

Then yesterday I felt like I was having a bladder infection again, and then today the pain was so much worse!! I couldn’t take it anymore I called my doctor and there were no appointments available. I had to go to the ER. They were worried that since it was so soon since my last episode and since I was not well soon after the colonoscopy. They were worried that there could have been perforations because of the colonoscopy or an abscess, had to see via a cat scan. Found that it was just my diverticulitis having another bout. More antibiotics, pain meds, clear diet for a day or two and a surgical consult coming.

I found out that my grandmother (my fathers mother) and my dad suffered/suffer from it. Reading about it in older articles it says that it isn’t genetic, but reading newer ones it seems like it actually maybe.
