Feeling ill for over a week. Can’t shake it

Have you had a Covid test?  Lack of energy is a symptom.

I had a Covid test two days before my pouchoscopy was done which on July 8th.  Maybe I should get another one.  I forgot I am nauseated to but no breathing problems at all.    

Thank you. 

For some people the only or most prominent symptom of Covid is a complete lack of energy. Both Tom Hanks and Sean Payton reported it was their primary symptom.  Breathing issues come in a much later stage of the disease.

Oh ok.  Thank you very much.  I’m staying home until I feel way better.  Just to be safe for me also.  

Excessive loose bowel movements can cause dehydration, thus a loss of electrolytes, especially potassium; all of which will make you feel lethargic.

Very true.  The new suppository is giving me very loose stools. Sorry I forgot to post that.  Thank you very much.  

I would have thought the symptoms of Pouchitis causes the loose stools, rather than the suppositories.

Sometimes but starting the antibiotic makes my stool more solid.  Which then in return effects my cuffitis.  Normally I have all loose stools.  I know something is wrong when I no longer have the loose stools.   I am just so thankful this new suppository is working for me.  Now to get the rest of me well.   Thank you.  

Point I was trying to make, with pouchitis, your output is normally drastically increased and in combination with the loose stools of a j pouch, you’re susceptible to dehydration, which can leads to a potassium deficiency and fatigue.

Tacrolimus is a potent anti rejection Med usually given to organ transplant recipients.  It could make you very susceptible to other bugs.  Definitely get a Covid swab.

Tacrolimus can also be used as a suppository.  It had to be made at a compound pharmacy.  It’s a very little suppository.  But I agree I should get checked for Covid.  Thank you.
