Hi all
Well after a long year of suffering and just getting worse with my ulcerative colitis (i get flares after pregnancy) I have finally gotten to a point where I am going to the loo no more than twice a day !! Im on 20mg of prednisalone at the moment cutting down from 40.... ive got 4 weeks left and hopefully that will be it and my bowel will stay in good shape! If not then the doc has something else lined up for me.
I am having a few odd symptoms from the medication .. im also on 3g salofalk......My hearts beating a bit faster than usual and more prominent and my eyes are a bit weird still but nothing like they were. doc said its fluid retention on the lens??
I went on holiday for my 30th Birthday ... just one week in Menorca with my parents, mother in law, hubby and my little girls age 3 and 1. It was good to get away from the 4 walls that have been my prison for months as I needed to stay by a loo all the time! I think going away did me a world of good. While on holiday I swam in the sea and laid on the beach in a white bikini !! I cant even believe it myself! I was going to the bathroom in the morning and spending the day elsewhere ... when I got home I made the mistake of eating a chinese meal .... pooped 5 times the next morning ..... but have been fine since eating good foods and staying away from spices.
I am hoping the side effects of the pred will ease of soon, but Id rather a few weeks of feeling odd than months of pooping more than 12 times a day!!!
I hope you are all getting your bums sorted ??? Its such an awful thing to go through ut hopefully we will all be in remission and happy xx
