I have heard medical terms\/words that my parents and grandparents would use when I was a child and I didn\u2019t know what they meant or could offer sympathy or appreciation. As an adult I hear these terms and while understanding them you never really appreciate the agony\/pain they cause until it happens to you. I\u2019ve heard the term Diverticulitis before but never really understood what it was.<\/p>\n
Yesterday I heard the term Diverticulosis from my doctor. I went in with a pain in my lower left side after suffering with it a day. I was prescribed anti-biotics and told it should clear up. While talking to the doctor, who by the way was not my regular doctor, she wanted to get to know more about me. In our talk we discussed my eating habits, excercise regimen (yeah right), etc. She asked me if anyone in my family had ever had Diverticulitis. I honestly could not remember but the more she spoke on the subject more details came to mind.<\/p>\n
I remember my grandmother talking about suffering with it at times. My grandmother would tell all about it and what foods would cause it to \u201cflare-up\u201d as she called it. Cipro is an anti-biotic she took and also one that the doctor prescribed for me. I\u2019ve taken my second dose to date and I feel like an old man.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s painful to take full breathes and to cough or laugh. I usually sit at my desk sitting up straight or leaned forward but this issue is causing me to lay back which I hate. It makes you look like your not working and just goofing off.<\/p>\n
It seems I\u2019m just going to have to break-down and change my diet. I\u2019m not so old I can\u2019t excercise or change. Reference post about \u201cWho Moved My Cheese?\u201d Change will occur and if you don\u2019t change with it you will wither and die!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
