Hi all, I was wondering if your j-pouch intensifies your symptoms when you're sick. I have a cold, that's all. Before my surgery, that would've meant sore throat for a day, stuffy nose for two or three and done. My cold with a j-pouch has me feeling lousy. I'm making sure I'm drinking enough (which I never would have done pre-pouch and still would've felt better than I do now) but I'm also exhausted. I am anemic and taking Feosol iron caps plus a good liquid iron from my health food store, but still absolutely exhausted. I laid down for two hours this afternoon and woke up with a migraine. Anyone else experience this intensification of symptoms since having a j-pouch?
