Hello,
I have been dealing with diverticulitis flares for a year and a half. I have been in and out of the ER 4 times, as well as have been seen by an internist (Colonoscopy and Endoscopy done). This last 'flare' in August felt different and ended up in the ER again with another CT scan. The radiologist shared I have 'misty mesenteric panniculitius" and that he could see it on a CT scan I had done several months prior, as well as on the the new CT scan, He suggested I see an internist (my first internist never mentioned anything about MP). My GP sent me to a different internist and I am waiting on getting a second visit once she has all my medical records over the past 1 1/2 years. As of two days ago I am having SEVERE abdominal cramping that has gone on for almost 24 hours. Today I'm more 'sore' and tender and not cramping as much. Trying to stay out of the ER and so I took some pain meds I had on had, which helped take the edge off and helped me to sleep. This is exhausting. I keep reading MP is 'rare' and can be complicated. I would like to year from others who have been diagnosed with this and what their journey has been. So far all my blood work doesn't suggest lymphomas or sjorgrens (autoimmune) which is associated with MP. I just can't keep living like this.
