Reply to "How long is this Pouchitis going to last?"

Rocket,

I have been on 875 X 2 mg of augmentin for over a year chronic for my pouchitis but I will admit I often miss doses in between. I have also been
on canasa almost the entire time for what seems to be refractory cuffitis also.

I don't think it is unusual for your doctor to be very aggressive at trying to get the pouchitis under control with various meds as seems to be your case. If you are also bleeding the canasa should help that.

I am like DJB in that my inflammation never completely quiets and although my pouchitis symptoms are not as bad as my cuffitis symptoms are, I do also suffer from chronic fatigue
due it as well as the lack of sleep from several trips to the bathroom during the night.

Until lately, I never napped during the day. I have recently started to try and incorporate this into my routine so I feel halfway human.
Do whatever you must to get rest so your body can heal and hopefully the meds will do the trick for you.
