I have recently been diagnosed with diverticulitis. Everything I have read so far, has
stated that most sufferers of this ailment are 60 or older. I have been a long sufferer
of migraines and took alot of aspirin proir to the developement of the new medications.
I also have an ulcer and wonder if there has ever been a connection made between the two
conditions? I will be undergoing a CT with contrast in a few days to reconfirm the diagnosis
and to determine what type of damage may have occured in the colon and the area of the suspected
ulcer. I am concerned about my future due to my age and the number of attacks I have had prior to
the diagnosis. Will I be more susceptible to future problems and conditions? I have read the
postings about diverticulitis, but I am intersted in any other information that anyone could
offer to me.
