Edwin, No way did you—or anyone else here—say anything to upset me. My life was tanking, and I needed a break from literally EVERYTHING. I was also sort of annoyed with any social media at the time. Too much negativity. I'm not good at putting myself first, and I needed to do that. I'm the only one responsible for my actions. I'm truly sorry if you had the impression that you might've said or done something to cause that. Thank you for being honest.

If you are having memory issues, and you haven't been tested for B12 yet, please do so right away! I had a severe deficiency years ago and I was having symptoms of dementia. Do you have any numbness or tingling in your extremities? Extreme fatigue? Lower back pain?

If you don't have the reports/notes and test results from your hospital stay, I highly recommend you get them.

The acid reducer alone can be causing a buildup of bad bacteria, which can then lead to inflammation of the GI tract. It's a vicious cycle. Diverticulitis is an "itis," which means inflammation.

Did they say why you needed an acid reducer? We NEED stomach acid to digest our food. Perhaps you could go see a gastroenterologist to discuss all of that and your hospital stay. Obviously, don't change anything until you talk to someone about all of this. Gastros are the specialists you should consult with.

Your confusion alarmed them. So they were more alarmed by being alarmed, than being alert enough to check a B12 level? Funny.

Take care,
Annie
