2 months later
I was admitted to the hospital on March 25 with extreme rectal bleeding. No fever, no vomiting and no diagnosis other than assumed enflamed diverticula. I was given antibiotics, nexum, fluids and blood. The only symptom that plagued me was super exhaustion. A week later I had an stool panel run and was diagnosed with cDiff...still only exhaustion. 1 weeks after that I was diagnosed with eColi. Now here I am, still almost dibilitation exhaustion. I am a teacher and any time I don't have students I have to take a micro nap. I go to sleep at 9 at night and when I wake up at 6, I feel like I haven't even slept. This morning I woke up out of the blue with egg burps, feeling like if I could just toss my cookies or have a raging case of green apple quick steps I would be okay. But no such luck and I am hiding behind my desk at school like a zombie who has been shot with too many frozed green peas.
My questons are: 1) is this to bee expected? 2) is this long lasting exhaustion normal? 3) Any helpful hints or encouragement anyone can offer. This is all so discouraging.
