Hi everyone, very recently diagnosed with P.A. and have had 7 injections so far (hydroxoco, 1mg). For weeks before I started the injections, and for a while after the first couple, I suffered with mild diarrhea. Very recently, there was a gap of nearly two weeks between my injections (I developed a bit of needle fear which took me a while to work through), and in that interval the diarrhea has come back, which I don’t find surprising or concerning. My last injection was two days ago after this 11 day gap.
What I’m now concerned about however is that today my diarrhea has, out of nowhere, become much more severe. Obviously I know P.A. isn’t the only possible cause of this and I’m seeking medical advice to rule out other causes, but is it possible for P.A.-related diarrhea to abruptly get much worse without warning? Thanks.
* I have read that folate deficiency can cause diarrhea too - I stopped taking this for five days during my 11-day injection gap (I.e until the day before yesterday), as I have read that taking folate without B12 is not a good idea (have resumed taking it for the last 3 days since I had my injection) - could this possibly be the cause?
