I've been diagnosed with diverticulitis as of 5-29-05. I was wondering if anyone had it or knows someone who had it. How long did it take for a full recovery so I can start the weights again...
Diverticulitis Overview:
"Some persons, as they get older, develop pouches along the wall of the colon. These pouches are called "diverticuli" and usually cause no symptoms. If the pouches become blocked or inflamed, an infection appears known as "Diverticulitis". This causes lower abdominal pain and fever. If not treated, it can become a serious condition, causing an abcess to form inside the pouch, which may rupture and spread infection throughout the abdomen."
Symptoms-
Severe abdominal pain
*Constipation
Loss of appetite
Weakness, Dizziness, Light-headedness
Fever
Stats:
246 lbs at 16% bodyfat (Before illness)
Currently:
Loosing muscle
