Yesterday morning I woke up with fever/flu like symptoms (blurred vision, body ache, soreness, congested, chills, hot flashes etc), today i'm much better but still a tad hot, with caugh and my stool is extra soft and not well formed (3x today), yesterday it was pretty much the same. I forget, does D usually accompany the fever/flu?

It doesn't for me unless I've taken too much expectorant...but that would be softer stool, not diarrhea.

But, there are so many different viruses..if one really ups the immune system,it could cause everything else to rev up as well, including the digestive tract.

If it seems to get worse, I would suggest upping rectals.

Hope you feel better soon. I had something like that a year ago..ugh!  I was sick for 2 weeks.

Recently for me, fevers have accompanied a flare and/or my extra intestinal IBD symptoms. I thought I just had the flu but my other symptoms started to flare up too. I don't think D usually accompanies the flu, but a fever can go along with a flare sometimes.

Hopefully you just have the flu and get better soon! Its so hard for some of us on here to fight regular ol' viruses off sometimes.

I have woke up feeling that way several times but it seemed that getting extra sleep the following few days past it and it subsided. I don't know if that was like a mild flu or that I was over tired or what exactly. I do get a low grade fever when I exhaust myself now...
Also, have you ever had your lower back get really hot, like fever hot out of the blue? Mine does that sometimes also... and after a good nights sleep all is normal the next morning..
So strange how this work with UC!
Hope your feeling better! :)
