I’m On Flagyl For Giardiasis I Got On A Fishing
I’m on Flagyl for Giardiasis I got on a fishing trip.
In 2009 I had surgery ( they took out 10 inches of my sigmoid colon and my appendix) for diverticulitis. I’ve been fine since but after 3 days on Flagyl my right lower quadrant is tingling and doing crazy things like it did when I had diverticulosis but there is no pain at all.
I’m a recently retired oncology rep and have a bit of medical education and know it’s not time to panic.
I would need plenty of pain and some fever to scare me.
But I’m wondering if Flagyl can agitate old problems like that because it sure is nasty going down and through the GI tract.
