You are worn down by the flare and may be vitamin and/or mineral deficient. Be sure to keep yourself well-hydrated with plain water most of the time & 4 oz. daily of a pure fruit juice you tolerate well, to keep your potassium level stable. Also, rest as much as you can to promote healing in the colon. You might want to look into Salix Pharma's discount card for Apriso if you can't afford Asacol; a UCer I know recently told me it's a helpful deal for her, having a limited income. / Old Hat (31 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)
