Hi,
I spent 14 days on Dominican Republic in a five star hotel in Punta Cana (returned to Europe last week). All the time on DR I was experiencing diarhea and terrible abdonimal pain. When I got back home I was hospitalized for a day and diagnosed with acute dehydration and acute enterocolitis, but they never treated me with anything else than NaCl and some powder to compensate for the loss of the electrolites. They have no idea which bacteria "attacked" me and how to treat it. After three weeks (since the problem has started) I am still totally weak, have no energy, sleep most of the day, am dizzy... plus my C-reactive protein (CRP) is 115 (ideally there should be no trace of this protein) which indicates that something is really, really wrong. Does anybody have any idea as my doctors cannot tell me anything and all I can do is just waiting to get better and all the time the diarhea and the abdominal pain are exhausting me. Has anybody had similar problems after visiting DR?
Thanks for any help whatsoever. I am simply without ideas where and whom to turn to to make me feel better.
