Last night was the worste night so far with this flare. I was throwing up green bile allllll night and blooody diareah alll night.  Im so worn out and feel dehrydated.  Any advice to avoid the hospital?

Lori, you really need to go to the emergency room. That much vomiting and diarrhea can definitely dehydrate you. It can also mess up your sodium and potassium levels, which can affect your heart. I know you don't want to go to the hospital, and I totally sympathize with that. But it really could be critical at this point.

Please go, and let us know how you fare, dear.

So sorry, Lori! Yes, go to the ER...... they'll probably admit you & rehydrate you. Who knows, maybe you'll end up with that "emergency" surgery after all! eyes I hope you feel better soon- please post with updates! Think of the hospital this way- at least you can finally just lie in bed & sleep & not have to make excuses!

In your case the emergency room is the first place you should go. Please seek medical attention. Judy

Gotta agree Lori......you need to be seen ASAP. We all don't like going to the hospital but sometimes it's a necessity.

ditto....please go to emergency..there might be something else going on as well, not to only assume it's UC.

Let us know the outcome.

I'll triple the notion. Head to the ER! Report back when you can.

I so hope she isn't responding because she's at the hospital!
