My friends,

I fear I may be entering flare city.  I've got pain - lots of pain in my gut which rolls around to my lower back. Even my high-powered pain pills aren't doing much to alleviate the pain.   I also have a strange pain in my upper right arm, which I have experienced before.  It feels like someone is pressing the eraser-end of a pencil into the muscle.  Wierd.

Just curious.  What symptoms, besides diarrhea, blood, and joint pain do you suffer from?

Rectal burning and stabbing pain, colon cramps, nausea/vomitng, sensitivity to light, migraines, leg pains/cramps, night sweats, dizziness, fatigue, dry skin, sores on my scalp, sores in and around my mouth, also the past few months I have had shooting pains up my right arm.

Wow!  You have a lot of extraintestinal symptoms.  Today my wrists and ankles are very achy.  My Tylenol is taking its sweet time to kick in.  I also have very dry skin on my arms.  They burn and itch.  Could it be the UC?  I never made the connection.

Rectal burning and stabbing pain, colon cramps, nausea, sensitivity to light, migraines, occasional leg cramps, really bad joint pain when I'm flaring, night sweats (lately these have been really bad for me, I always wake up soaked!), dizziness, fatigue, dry skin, ulcers/sores in my mouth, heart burn, and I also have to wear glasses full time now and I had perfect vision up until two years ago, and I need a new prescription already after only having these glasses for a year.

Hey, I just started wearing glasses about the same time my UC started. I just had to get a new prescription, too. I never made the connection.
