My doctor has just recently suggest surgery to me. I have been having the worst flare up I ever have had. I was hospitalized in May for the first time ever. It turns out I had a c. diff infection that was causing my severe cramping and tenderness. I am over it now, but I still am having problems. Lots of pain. Going to the bathroom 10 to 15 times a day and I have been on 40 mgs of prednisone for over a month.
Doctor has suggested Remicade, surgery or a study. I don't know what to do. I am 33 years old and was diagnosed with uc in 1995. I have one son but my new husband is hinting at more. I don't know how that will work with my condition. I just want to stop feeling bad, too. Tired of not being able to do anything. I'm too young to be confined to home.
