I am going to a female specialist who hopefully will listen. I like my current GI but it always seems a rush and the end was when he sent a letter to my GP which said I wasn't suffering from tiredness which is the opposite of what I said. (He corrected it by hand to say not tired so not a typo.) I emailed him to correct this (I was nice about it) but he ignored it. As I am looking at three days off work this week due to the fatigue and some gut pain.

Even exercise seems to be making me feel worse not better.

Sorry guys just wanted to have a whinge really!

I'll join in with you. I'm almost done with pred. And due for my fourth Remicade in 4wks. I asked to move up my appt. WithGI because my uc is kind of holding steady, think from the pred but maybe it's the Remicade. I figure why ho in now when I have a feeling I will be calling her in a week or two when my flare kicks in. They just talk to you any way and are in a rush so stuff gets missed, itseems better to use email
And phone,plus it costs so much for me to get there etc. She said she still wanted to see me, to examine me. Last time when I was just out of the hospital she didn't even feel my stomach. I canceled, and will hopefully get in next week.
