Hi..
Ive had UC since 1997, diagnosed for the 1st time during my 4th pregnancy.
Ive had very long periods of active disease since then, followed by long periods of remission. My disease so far has always been contained to the top of the rectum - proctitis. Despite high dosages of Prednisilone, Asacol, Mesalazine, Predfoam enemas, its always been difficult to bring the disease under control. However, I always feel generally well even during these severe flares. Until now. Ive been having a flare for about 6 weeks and have been on Prednisilone 40mg and Asacol 2 tablets 3 x daily for about 3 weeks. Symptoms have increased. I pass a lot of blood and pus, just started having diahorrea but pass something everytime i use the bathroom but also Cramping, hot flushes, palpitations (irregular but extremely frquent and strong) feeling of heavy arms and legs, light headedness, fatigue, heartburn and indigestion. Severity of symptoms vary throughout the day and at times are almost feel well!!
I have never had all these symptoms before, just lots of bloody b.m's and mucous/pus.
I have a flexi sig on thursday afternoon but would appreciate any comments....
