Fallen ill

[mikeydt1]

been okay through the lock-down then last night things got rough and spent the entire night backwards and forwards to the bathroom.

def not covid 19 i am thinking that it is a flare up of diverticulitis will know as the day progresses. if it is then real trouble as it has put me in hospital 4 times. the pain i was getting all night long suggests that it well could be at the same time i have a catheter in going in to my abdomen and the pain seemed to be left side low down near to bladder with flank pain.

the above symptoms i have had with previous flare ups.

if it gets worse then i will call my doctors.

managed to check BG and sitting around 8.1

will be off back to bed later on in the morning.

So sorry to hear that you are not so well.
Very best wishes, and I hope that you begin to feel better soon.

To keep you out of hospital, it would be better to ring sooner rather than later.
Hope you feel better soon.

that was my worry Sue so took the opportunity to contact doctors and treatment will be starting shortly.

i am showing the classic left side diverticulitis, at the same time if it gets worse then they are wanting me to ring for the next stages. (it mainly affects the left side abdomen to central but i have also had odd occasions over the appendix area)

just worried as i can't really leave my partner who wouldn't cope and at the same time not keen on going to a+e with the current situation

not sure what is going on. my right leg is stiff and painful, going to check BG levels and then time for some pain relief gel.

Take care @mikeydt1 and let us know how you get on

got the hospital phoning this Wednesday. will be interesting to see how it pans out as this is something which usually requires an examination, not sure how they will do it it over the phone.
