I’m sorry you are going through that! I’m 70, had diverticulitis episodes for around 20 years. Some more serious than others, no perforations but always put on antibiotics. Two years ago, I ended up in hospital on and off for 5 months. I had diverticulitis and suffered three bouts of cdiff. Pain, weakness, depression, constant bathroom visits, weight loss of 40 pounds, isolation, fear!!! In Feb a year ago I had colon resection to remove the diseased section. It hasn’t been all sunshine and roses since but it was the best thing to do. I live in fear of having to go on antibiotics again for anything. I believe I have PTSD because of cdiff. Every time I have a bit of diarrhea my anxiety arises thinking oh no what if…. Hopefully yours resolved quickly. You’re very young to have diverticulitis.
