Wow everyone is on such a different journey.
I also have chronic diverticulitis in my descending bowel. Assuming it was diverticulitis flaring up led me to find my net.
I’m now intermittent fasting each day, which is helping with the diarrhoea and feeling generally much better.
Waiting for doctors and appointments has disrupted my life. We are constantly rearranging our schedule, cancelling plans, making more medical appointments.
Waiting for the next results or the doctors to arrange referrals etc.
We try not to be constantly discussing treatments and avoid focusing on my health issues.
one side effect of the pet scans is the other unrelated findings in the reports. Surgeons only focus on the part of the report related to their area and completely ignore other findings
You need to become a researcher into medical terms as even GPs struggle with them
I now have appointments with Urologists, endocrinologists, dieticians as a result of the scans. Potentially more operations
I had hoped that this year I would stay away from Doctors but it’s becoming worse than last year.
I want it to stop but maybe next year.
Good luck with your tests and thanks for contributions.
