What Do I Do About Persistent Pain And Illness Despite Taking Humira And Flagyl Given My History Of Diverticulitis And Crohn S Disease?

5 years ago: emergency hospital after 2 days vomitting. 7 days in hospital. abdominal drainage bags {for infection) . released . 1 month had colonoscopy: diverticulitis and crohns. 1month later appendix removed. 6 months later portion (8 in.) of small intestine removed (was hardened like a rock). Have lost 40 lbs. Obviously malnutrition and dehydration. Now: very ill. feel like a fever. Intestinal pain changes on both sides from upper to middle to lower. Taking Humira which helps severe diahrea. I took flagyl per my request ....after 14 days felt much better. Pain came back after ceasing flagyl. I am age 73 living a constantly miserable painful life. I do not drink alcohol.
