What Causes Extreme Exhaustion A Week After Being Diagnosed With Diverticulitis?

I wa diagnosed with diverticulitis and rheumatoid arthritis just recently and am on a two week flagyl regiment....just finished cipro and have not seen a rheumatologist....this antibiotic regiment has wiped me out physically it seems. I was diagnosed with diverticulitis a week ago and have had one of the sickest weeks of my life...is this par for the course and is there a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak....thanks for taking my questions

Hello,

It is due to severe dehydration as a part of diverticulosis.

As of now, drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated.

If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
