Dealing with Sweats and Chills After Ostomy

Topic Explanation:

The forum discussion is centered around an individual who is experiencing sweats and chills two months after having an ostomy. The person expresses frustration with the ostomy and seeks advice from others who might have experienced similar symptoms.

Advice and Insights:

1. Consult a Doctor:
- Sweats and chills can be a sign of illness or infection. It is important to consult a doctor to rule out any potential infections or complications.
- Even if there is no fever, an infection could still be present, so medical evaluation is crucial.

- Addressing potential infections promptly can alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being.

3. General Experience:
- It is common to feel frustrated with an ostomy, especially in the early months. However, addressing health concerns like infections can make the adjustment period more manageable.

4. Unresolved Symptoms:
