please help me anyone???? please! I think I may have pouchitis  again I have already completed a 7 day antibiotic from Dr. Shens office in Cleveland. I do not feel any better. last time I had this I was admitted and given antibiotics through IV.  So when I called I asked to have the meds through IV because that's what works for me. I thought all I would have to do is go to any infusion center where I live in Akron as long as it was a part of the Clinic. But no they acted like I was crazy will such a request! I don't because obviously it worked when I received my meds through an IV. That is all I needed plus malnutrtioned  because of the weight loss.  Is there anything I can do in the meantime until Monday when I will contact the doctor.     One other thing this sounds crazy but do you think the change in weather had do with anything?

Tough call. You know your own body. However, it would be unusual to need IV antibiotics every time you get pouchitis. Maybe you just need a different oral antibiotic, a different dose, or a combination. 

But, with it being the weekend, you may just have to go to the ER or urgent care for follow up. 

In the future, check back with Dr. Shen's office if you do not see improvement after a few days, rather than waiting the full course.
