Dysentery (formerly known as flux or the bloody flux) is an inflammatory disorder of the intestine, especially of the colon, that results in severe diarrhea containing mucus and/or blood in the feces[1] with fever, abdominal pain,[2] and rectal tenesmus (a feeling of incomplete defecation), caused by any kind of infection.
In extreme cases dysentery patients may pass over a litre of fluid an hour. More often, individuals will complain of nausea, abdominal pain, and frequent watery and usually foul-smelling diarrhea accompanied by mucus and blood, rectal pain, and fever.
Thank you Wikipedia for painting my symptoms so clearly. I could be considered a texbook case.

But sweetheart you made it through with 2 great doctors. Thanks Chris and Isaac. Sorry you were soooo sick. Glad I could be with you on part of it. Thanks Liz for holding her hand while she gave up her blood. That is what she did for me when I would have to give blood. Glad you are better. MOM
