Suggest Treatment For Weakness And Weight Loss After Colonoscopy

HI, I am trying to figure out why I feel so lousy, had a colonoscopy on 4/22 had 2 polyps removed and had an infection (diverticulitis?), was given 2 antibiotics cipro and metrodinazole, was supposed to take it for 7days at the end of the 5th I was sooooo sick, called the MD, he told me to stop taking it, that was on Mon.27 had a different kind of stool dark and grainy, not red or black, I was told it would go away, it is still about the same... Have been feeling weak and lost a bit of weight about 3-4lbs, eating ok, at times a bit moody, I am a very positive person this is sort of rare.......started thinking about a couple of bites I had not long ago at the park, it did develop into a reddish bulls eye type.....I looked up lyme disease symptoms and I have a couple of them, should I worry??? what to do??

Hi,

It is not Lyme, if you want to rule it out, you can go for IgM ELISA if you want. You may need to complete course of antibiotics if you still have fever or symptoms. If diet is allowed then take nutrients and healthy foods. Do yoga it helps in these things [once electrolytes should be done [your history indicates].

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
