Reply to "Older J-pouch Guy here"

TRS,

I am 55 years old, have had a J pouch for 26 years, and have battled pouchitis that has been chronic for 23 years, taking antibiotics chronically and now Remicade the last 3 years. Your post is interesting and important because I have often wondered about the long term consequences of all the meds I am taking. As a matter of interest I also have sleep apnea and am going for another sleep study soon. I used a CPAP back in 2010 and didn’t like it but heard they have better models now. I also have managed to survive stage 3 thyroid cancer and surgery for same. You sound like you could be me 5 years from now. My blood work all comes back good both on liver chemistries, TSH and tumor marker tests for thyroid cancer.

Regarding the stage 3 kidney disease what meds were you taking over the years?
