Reply to "Flagyl Dosage for Pouchitis"

TE, your post reminded me about the peripheral neuropathy. I think you once said you had Sjogren's. I was just reading up on it today, as my rheumy is looking into it as a possible additional diagnosis for me. The back story is that I have severe dry eye syndrome (enough that Restasis was inadequate and wound up getting my tear ducts plugged), and yesterday when I went for a routine dental check-up, my dentist was somewhat alarmed that my gums and palate were sort of a purplish red and pitted. Not typical gingivitis, as my gum pockets were good. He asked if anyone ever told me I had autoimmune disease; ha, ha. Then I reminded him of the reasons I am on all these meds, and he went aha! Anyway, reported it to my rheumy and she is now looking into Sjogren's. I also reported to my GI. Hopefully, it is much ado about nothing.

Anyway, when reading about Sjogren's, I noticed that peripheral neuropathy is one of the complications. Did you know that? I sure didn't.
