fistulas and diet

The doctor feels it will be okay for me to start my job on monday. Even in the job description it stated the ability to sit down for long periods of time. There is no filing since all patient records are on the PC. My main duties would consist of scheduling appts, and obtaining and updating patient info. The practice is made up of residents and board certified docs as well as faculty. It is teaching opportunitsy to Brown school gradutates to learn how to run their own family medical practice. There is no billing or anything. There are 15 docs daily in each of the 3 divisions, and some are "faculty" so very rarely do they see patients. My last job was very physically demanding as a vet assistant. Cats and dogs scratch bit etc and trying to keep a 150 pound evil dog on an elevated table was no easy task being I am 99 pounds and 4'9.5" Both my surgeon, RA doc, ENT and my GI are affiliated with the hospital I am going to be working for. My shift will end at 4:30 and if I have to leave 15 mins or so early for a DR appt I will and legally I dont think they can reprimand me for that. One paper I filled out was for "demigraphics" to see if they are interviewing disabled or ethnic backgrounds. I didnt have to fill it out, but I did say disabled on mine and you didnt have to put your name on it but I chose to do so. I know its illegal to ask things like that but I figured what the heck...whats the worst thing that could happen. I did make my name quite illegible though

He can put you on Flagyl its was is used to treat C-diff and my doc says it helps heal Fistulas so why waste time I would ask him to get you on Flagyl NOW you can't loose going on Flagyl.
I had a fistula next to my anus and was on flagyl 3 weeks and it went away.

I just called my GI office and he will be in the office this afternoon. I asked about flagyl when I spoke to the receptionist, that or vanco since both also are used to treat c diff. I figure my best bet may be flagyl while humira gets approved and then hopefully when I see him on the 10th I will have the humira shots with me and he will okay the use.

I was on lots of vanco when I was in the hospital I was getting it IV. I had 5 different bacterias growing in the abscess I had at the time as well as candida. Then later they also found I was VRE (vanco resistant ecoli) yay me. I was on flagyl back when first diagnosed as well as when I was initially admitted in the hospital back in February. They had me on flagyl and cipro IV. Maybe I should get in a taste of my smirnoff pomegranite if my Doc prescribes flagyl so I can taste if before starting the drug.

They did get it all, prior to this I had no large bowel involvement. I do now considering I see the pentasa beads coming out of it and I believe that only releases lower in the GI tract. They had removed part of the large bowel in my ostomy Sx since 1/3 of it didnt wake up. Even the biopsies done showed the "all clear" I am waiting to hear back from my GI....everytime the phone rings I expect it to be him even tho I am sure he wont call til after he sees his patients. I just want to get better, I am so done at this point. I feel like I am never going to get better again and be able to have a family. I am going to have to tell them on Monday about my Doc appt that I had to make for the 27th (next thursday) and Ill have to leave a little early....my health is more important and being a hospital I hope they will understand.

Lol I just got off the phone with my GI. I am going to collect my C diff sample tomorrow and bring it to the lab. He said those results come back within a cpl days. If that is all negative I just have to wait for the pharmacy to get the hunira in since it is now approved for me. As for diet and fistulas, I know if they are really bad TPN is commonly used either that or an elemental diet.

Nah not yet...I still have dilaudid in my system, plus he isnt putting me on Flagyl at least if the c diff comes back negative, even if pos it wont be until monday that I would get meds for it since it takes a few days for the results to come in. Fistulas heal better , so I have read, with less intestinal motility/digestion.
