There are so many symptoms, and whenever someone pinpoints special issues that I can relate to, I tend to seek for a new solution; something that can resolve the whole problem. Like "Eureka!"JamesEcuador wrote:I was wondering the same think Lilja. I was diagnosed with MC in January last year after pretty standard symptoms but there was no mention of diverticulitis. Since around April I have had constant pain (mild to strong) on my left side and below my naval. I didn't have this symptom at the time of my colonoscopy and it hasn't improved even by very strict diet whereas my other MC symptoms are definitely improving. My doctor said it was all part of the colitis but I'm not so sure anymore. Also my dad has suffered before with diverticulitis.
I really don't like the idea of going through another scope so soon after my last one to get checked out and I also don't trust my incompetent doctors to make a proper diagnosis anyway.
I'm still on the search of the one and only answer, but the more I learn from this board, the more I realize that there is no quick fix or one solution to all our problems. It's complicated, and it's a lonely (or lonesome? I haven't learned the difference) journey.
