I have been battling a headache since May, and last week we tried another medication to see if it would help. It did nothing for the headache, but it (temporarily) completely resolved my pouchitis symptoms. I took two doses 3 hours apart, and the PI symptoms resolved for about 22 hours.
The medication is called Frova, and it is not a benign drug, thus could not be used for long term PI treatment, but I wonder if anyone else has had this side effect or if it was just me? "Frovatriptan is in a class of medications called selective serotonin receptor agonists. It works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain." Any thoughts or theories?

)...no to take this lightly but it is a fact...enjoy it while it lasts and if it is not a med that you can take long term then you may ask your pouch doc for a mild antidepressant and see if that works its magic on your pouch.
