Diverticulitis
"I was diagnosed with Diverticulitis about 4 years ago after having an attack that sent me to the ER.  I have been put on the Cipro/Metronidazole combo several different times and each time the side effects, in combination with the diverticulitis attack, made me miserable.  I&#039;m on the fifth day of my latest attack and the pain is finally starting subside but the misery invoked by metronidazole is horrible.  I will remember to ask my doc for something else in the future.  Nausea, dry mouth, horrible taste in my mouth, furry tongue, diarrhea, and sinus congestion/sore throat have been the side effects I am dealing with.  I spent three days in bed and finally had to go back to work; but I&#039;m miserable.  I will be so glad to take the last dosage!"
