I wish my doctor had listened to my previous complaints regarding my symptoms. He has always been such an optimist, that I feel intimidated if I dare to complain about any symptom that I am experiencing.
I have been on Flagyl for the past 3 days after being diagnosed with pouchitis. What a difference! My stools are much darker, thicker (but not too thick) and my spasms / need to clench has diminished greatly. I actually feel like a normal person with a colon (one that is not diseased). Makes me feel like I probably have had pouchitis since my TD in April.
I don’t even have a bad reaction to eating dairy ! My dosage of Flagyl is for 10 days. Maybe I can stop my other Rx of lomotil and bentyl……. I am on 4 different medications and all of them claim “dizziness” as a possible reaction and I am tired of the light-headedness and dizziness when I sit up or stand up.
I pray that I my previous symptoms do not return.
