Diverticulitis. Should I be taking cipro when taking thyroid medication. Or do not take cipro at all

Just having another bout with diverticulitis.

It knocks me out and I have a plane trip in two days. What to do?

Suggest you check with your doctor ASAP.  You will need medication for both conditions - it's just a case of checking to be sure you can take the two together or if you need alternative medication.

Thank you will check with Dr. Of course it is Saturday hopefully I will get a reply.

Continue my clear liquid diet.

I would phone your DR and ask for advice I am sorry I can't be more help

I am so sorry Janice, of all the times to have an attack!    Diverticulitis causes much anxiety because it is unpredictable, planning a trip, holiday etc is a nightmare.  For example, in four weeks time I am going on a very expensive river cruise in Portugal, it is all paid for.  I am terrified that I will have an attack the day or two before, after this I would be capable of travelling with antibiotics although my holiday would be spoilt.  How important is your plane trip?

Timing is everything. I do have to take this trip.

Enjoy your trip but make sure you have that medication with you.

Hopefully if I just rest and take it easy and on the clear liquid diet I will be good.

Thank you

Waiting for call. Thank you

My consultant told me if iam afraid I might need the toilet while traveling to take half an Imodium to help

Let us know what they say.

I'm sure that you will be ok Janice, at least you have some time to recover.  Hopefully I will be able to take my holiday.   In the last three months, I have lost my mother-in-law and at the end of April, my very young dog collapsed with congestive heart failure and at most has 10 months to live.   Last week a very dear friend died unexpectedly, I need a diversion to take my mind off these sad things in my life.  Take care, I hope that your travel plans are all good. xx

Heard back from Dr. Yes I can take cipro with the thyroid medication. Thank Goodness.

I am feeling better but not 100%.

Day by Day.

Thank you everyone

Take care of yourself. Each day will be better.

13

Glad to hear that you can take the two medications Janice.  I hope that you enjoy your trip. x

Glad you are slowly feeling better.  Take it slow and steady, small meals, plenty of water.  This is disease that takes patience and time.  Best wishes

I wish the same for you Janice, enjoy your trip. xxx
