Still waiting to hear back from the doc. He usually calls back around 5 or 6 o'clock.

Last month I went to my family doctor and he did a complete blood and urine work up. He said that my vitamin d and b12 was low but he said that they were not off the charts completely. He said to start taking some vitamins, which I have been. My next appointment with him is in about three weeks and I will let him know and probably get more blood work.

I have been drinking water, gatorade, vitamin water and some grape juice daily. Mostly gatorade with meals and water when I feel thirsty. I have not been keeping track of how much but I am urinating a few times a day and it appears to be a normal color.

My blood pressure for the most part has been normal. When I was in the hospital for my surgeries they told me that it went pretty low but I attributed that to just laying in the bed most of the day but whenever I have had a check up or anything else it has always been normal.

The tingly sensation seems to get more pronounced as the day goes on. When I wake up in the morning I hardly notice it but towards the evening I can definetely tell that it is there. That is why I have a theory that it is circulation related. I am guessing that it is harder for the blood to flow up my arms and legs and to my head when I am upright vs laying down but I might be completely wrong, and probably am.

Are there any antibiotics that don't cause problems? I thought that I had it figured out with the Cipro/Flagyl combo and have been feelings really good while on those. My plan was to finish up this course, wait a week or so to see if my pouchitis returned, and if it did start back on the Cipro/Flagyl routine.

I am really not looking forward to chasing down more symptoms. I was beginning to think that I might have a handle on this. I still feel that way but I am slightly discouraged because of the new symptoms.

Did I mention that I dislike hospitals and doctors offices?
