Hi ,

I had outpatient surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome and they gave me one

dose of IV antibiotics. Two weeks later, I started bleeding and about a

week after that, I got pinkeye. In other words - two major flags for

inflammation! I had not had one spec of bleeding since being first

diagnosed in May 2006, so it was a major bummer. I went back to intro,

tried eliminating all kinds of things (dairy, fruit, coffee, alcohol,

various veggies, nuts) and nothing changed the bleeding. It never got

really bad. Canasa got rid of it for several months, but it didn't work

as well the next time. I'm going in for a flex sig tomorrow to see

what's going on.
