Thanks so much for your reply Caroline. It’s nice to hear from someone down under with similar challenges. It was really nice of you to share your experience with the NHS and the lack of experience as I have come up against here. Great that your old Dr responded like that and that they were able to get you sorted on cipro. I am going to see another GP today as I’ve discontinued the flagyl over the weekend completely as I am not able to tolerate the higher but more effective dosages. I phoned my gastro’s office and he is not in or they can get a hold of him until Thursday and apparently he they can’t call him unless he on the oft chance calls them at his office. He’s a professor here. But I have to wait. I’ve asked them to tell the Dr I need to get another script and one with cipro and perhaps Xifaxan combined to deal with my pouchitis more aggressively or I like you may be headed for the ED. This GP I’ve never been to before which I’ve got an appt later today has probably never heard of a jpouch. The clinic I go to here for GP’s both my usual one and the one that I had to go see once before when my GP was gone are both not in this week, go figure. So here’s hoping I can convince this guy I’ve never seen I need Cipro ... fingers x’d!
Cheers for all,
Indy
