don’t forget about symptoms like “chills”, “cold sweats”, mucus on the ends or in your stool. i had it….it sucked….a lot. on my 37th b-day i went to the E.R. and was diagnosed with an abcessed diverticulitus. almost perferated. i was about a week away from dying (i think i could have lasted a month though). rock on!
Ok…. All well and good (symptoms / diagnosis), but WHAT IS THE TREATMENT??
(BTW, it isn’t very nice when a ‘doctor’ tells you “the pain is psychological”).
@OhSoddit – antibiotics, pain medicine and ultimately surgery. I have been in the hospital twice in the past six months. If you really want to know about the real symptoms PM me. If you are experiencing anything like the doc in this video highlights, go to the ER. I didn’t on a couple occasions and almost needed immediate surgery which will get you THE BAG!
