Thanks everyone for your input. I felt as if I was doing better, but now my fistula has stopped draining (it always did drain, just something I got used to living with), but now that it has stopped draining it's starting to ache. This has happened once before and it swelled up really bad (my fistula is on the lower part of my labia) and I was in so much pain I couldn't walk. I ended up in the ER. Apparently it was abscessed. The ER doctor had no idea what a JPouch was and didn't know how to help me. Btw, my fistula is stemmed from my pouch. Luckily for me the blockage I had in my fistula busted open and it immediately started to drain white pus. The pain I had was immediately gone. I'm scared this is going to happen again. I think I'm going to a clinic tomorrow to see if I can get some antibiotics. I'm hoping it will help. First, it was what I thought was pouchitis and now I might have an abscessed fistula. Maybe they're linked somehow. I'm sorry if I rambled on. I hope this post made sense! ��
