Good morning, 49 yr old male, 1st diagnosed with DiverT about 4 weeks ago. Trip to urgent care with severe stomach cramps, quick blood and urine test, diagnosis revealed either DiverT or Appendix issue. Doc sent me to ER for CT. Great care at Kaiser Permanente. They hooked me up to an I.V., gave Morphine for pain, additional blood tests, finally the CT which revealed DiverT. Walked out of ER with 4 prescriptions, 2 antibiotics, 1 nausea, and 1 pain medication. The following 3 days were hell. Vomiting, mild diarrhea, and migraine headache. ER said I could use Norco for pain, I assumed that was good for headache as well. My wife was recently prescribed Norco for pain with an operation but had a bad reaction to it, so I was hesitant to use it. I called my general doc to talk to him about it, he said to not take it, nor take Ibuprofen, only Tylenol. Tylenol, in my experience is candy to my headaches, it literally does nothing at all for pain. Here we are 3.5 weeks later, another episode and back to urgent care at Kaiser. More meds, Flagyl, Ciproflaxocin, (same) headache only lasted 1.5 days. Back to Doc today for 24hr protein urinalysis. Feeling better, but just dumbfounded as to what triggered another episode. Ive added brown rice, moved away from white breads, even started taking Benefiber daily. Im not really a water drinker, probably average 20oz a day..... |
