Reply to "Third week of unexplained illness. Any ideas?"

Hmm, no-one has mentioned pouchitis, so I guess I will!

Are your BMs normal? Any crampy pains in the abdomen?

Aching muscles, low-grade fever and a general "under the weather" feeling are the way pouchitis manifests for me (I only get mild pouchitis).

These symptoms are usually accompanied by extra/more-watery BMs (hard to tell sometimes what is pouchitis and what is something I ate that was too fibrous until it continues for a couple of days), maybe with an odd colour and smell.

I also get mild crampy pains in the upper abdomen.

Sometimes I only get the muscle aches and fever, which is why I'm chiming in.

Hope you feel better soon.
