11. It could be!

I had no idea what diverticulitis was/is.

I'd had pain on and off for a few years until it nailed me good.

I ended up having surgery and lost my appendix and 1/3 of my intestinal tract! I also required five blood transfusions as well. I damn near died, I kid you not.

I don't know how they can test for it but a colonoscopy would show it.

Its a nasty problem to have and it never goes away.

Get checked if you can.

Thanks for the HCOL info. I hope your landlord stay put forever!
