I was discharged after being in the hospital for two days with severe diverticulitis. I also developed cystitis yesterday as well. Today I have a low grade fever 99.3 and I'm already starting to worry. I have out a call in to my doctor. Is this normal? Please help!
Hi, You can feel feverish with cystitis. Are you in any pain ?
You definitely need to see your doctor in case it's the DD .
Drink plenty of water.
Hope you feel better soon.
Hi Kim I'm sorry you are feeling poorly. It may be that the hospital was a little premature discharging you after only 2 days. That sounds insufficient to get you responding to antibiotics etc which I guess you are now on. Yes see doctor soon and try and get temperature down with paracetamol. Good luck to you regards Pete
I am in pain but they said that could last two weeks. I talked to the nurse and she talked to my doctor. They said a low grade fever is normal and I have a follow up appointment on Friday. They sent me home with a 5 day course of antibiotics. I also didn't have any diet restrictions in the hospital and I think that made it worse. I'm going to try a liquid diet and very bland foods. When I eat it hurts.
What is paracetamol?
Paracetamol is a pain reliever and it helps to lower your temperature.
I'm in the UK . I was sent home with antibiotics last week after only one
night in hospital.. I too was on solid food which hurt to eat so I didn't eat
for 3 days . Liquid diet will help you to start healing . The hospital always
sends me home too soon . I don't think they realise how poorly DD makes
us feel. Hope you start to feel better soon.
Sounds as though you still have infection. You should do a 999, NOW .You were released far too early
Thank you Linda. I have to eat something because the antibiotics make me sick. Last night I tried jello and a piece of wheat bread. I also have bananas. I still feel like crap. Last night I went to bed with a severe headache and I'm not sure that it wasn't from all the medication. Are you better now?
I've been taking my temperature regularly since then and it's been normal and I have a doctor's appointment on Friday. I'm just going to keep an eye on myself. I think I'm ok. I just still feel bad. I am still on the antibiotics too.
Oh gosh poor you. I do hope you feel better soon. 
I'm starting to feel better. Starting to eat a bit more normally now,
though still only snacking really .
It takes me ages to get back to what is normal for me .
Hope you start to feel better soon, if not go to A&E .
Not eating gives me headaches .
I was released after one day of IV antibiotics . I couldn't eat but was still
sent home . My pain was bad too. They just want you out and I'm sure
they don't realise how bad we feel .
I was told " you know how it works , here's some antibiotics, Bye !
I felt bad after the wheat bread, jello, and banana. I'm not sure what to eat at this point. I have anti nausea medicine they told me I could take so I just did. I don't want to keep using all these medications. I think it's messing my stomach up. 
Where did you get that appalling treatment ???? You should have had a word with PAWS they are there to help patients xx
Gosh I've never heard of PAWS???
My nurses and doctors were for the most part great with the exception of one nurse who was always Moody and short. I was on a cardiac floor and maybe she thought I was a waste of time there. They put me there because of the potassium problem and what it can do to the heart. I have never heard of PAWS either is that a patient advocacy thing?
Do you not live in U.K ???
I have been hospitalised numerous times with severe diverticulitis
and the treatment is always the same . I've lost count of the number of
times I've been sent home almost crying with the pain .
They always tell me to eat normally in hospital which I can't do so I
don't eat while in there . I dread having to go in !
We are going to have to sort you out from scratch. you can't go on like this,
you will have to remember from day one, what started the god awful pains. and ,all the following pains that put you into hospital Can't remember if you were one of the gang on DIVI DINERS ,I started that because I was frightened to death about every single concerning D.D
but over the months ,every body told their stories and suggested what to do and what not to do, until I am no longer afraid of it ,and have it under control , and have been ,except for a couple of hiccoughs ,in four years,
So. Lets start to get you on the mend, xx
I'm sorry Kim but your original post seems to have been lost in the ensuing conversation. If your concerns are still current I would suggest you start a separate new post.
