Thanks. Last week I went in for a routine colonoscopy. I have this procedure done at the recommendation of my doctor every 4-5 years. The evening of my colonoscopy I was at home and my wife had to take me to the emergency room. My symptoms--post colonoscopy septicemia (according to the doctor on call). A bacterial infection had somehow crept into my body. My blood pressure went down to 70/30, 102.5 fever, extreme chills, and dehydration, and a bacterial infection. I felt fine before the colonoscopy procedure and horrible afterwards. I spent
two nights in the hospital and they finally got things back to normal. Just finished medicine today (Levofloxacin). What could have happened to cause all this? thanks, Mack McClain
