Showing Original Post only (View all)My turn for the e.r. [View all]
I wasn't feeling good, started on the weekend. I thought I was getting a UTI, so I went to Physician's Care. They did urine test, no infection, so they recommended the e.r. for more testing. Turns out I have diverticulitis. They gave me IV with an antibiotic in and a prescription for antibiotics. It's mild, I went in early. I'm on a clear, soft, bland diet for a couple days. My sodium is low, and that makes me tired. So far this morning, I don't feel as achy.
I can take it easy, eat things I usually avoid, but I can't have potato chips!
