Flares and loneliness

I am currently going thru a flare where it isn't bad as some but, I'm sick! There is no way to sugar coat a flare how mild or severe. Every day I make a choice to be positive about what is going on,but this flare is really trying my patience! I'm on colocort enemas which are helping a little bit. There is no signs of bleeding In a week yet I get cramping. Let me also add this all started back in sept, did stool samples to find I had a staph infection. Took antibiotics for 14days , had more stool and blood work done....everything neg...yay! But now I'm dealing with steroids.not as harsh as pred(hopefully wont have to), but they make me all strung out and can't sleep. Just got a script for ambien and clonopin, which helps, but the sleeping pill doesn't seem to keep me asleep. I do have friends to talk to, but I don't want to bother them. I don't have anyone who has this to relate to. This is where I feel so lonely. My husband is supportive, but again I don't want to bother him.
I'm not sure if I need to talk to a shrink or not. Just someone that has a different perspective and isn't "in it" so to speak.

Just venting this out helps. I will be contacting my dr about the cramping issues and maybe getting a different sleeping pill. Also, I need to do something positive today.

Thanks for listening.

Ok profile change once again:
Dx with uc in 2004. Mainly left sided, at times has skipped through the whole colon. Also have IBS.
Humira one shot every week, 100 mg imuran , bentyl, colonopin, ambien. Colocort enemas.

Thanks for the kind words...since I posted, I talked to my doctors office and have an appt. tomorrow. Spoke to my mom which helps and took a nap because I was totally exhausted! Maybe now ill have a better outlook with a bit of sleep! You r right about having cyber friends here! It will get better.....hopefully soon!
