I am in somewhat of a flare but I have been super tired all day lately...my sleep schedule is somewhat off but i have no energy. I am anemica and on Bifra RX as well as Entocort, and Asacol HD...any reason or other reason i could be tired and energy less all day. going to florida on vacation tomorrow and really need to get it together...

an iron infusion could help, but getting one today could be a problem.

just the fact your body is fighting inflammation (flaring) constantly is exhausting. Be gentle and patient with yourself. It is a normal effect for some of us with UC - and it can come and go at different stages of a flare.
Hope the trip will do you some good.

Anemia is a real butt kicker. Other times people have been low on B vitamins, vitamin D, or other general vitamins. It might be helpful to ask your GI if you could take a multi or some more targeted vitamins. They can also test for deficiencies aside from Anemia.
