Good Morning,
I was very sick for several months beginning in September 2012 and progressively got worse, after several dr. visits, emergency room visits for dehydration I was hospitalized. On October 29th I was diagnosed with Severe Ulcerative Colits. I am on 2400 mg Mesalamine twice daily.
I seemed to be doing better "mostly" until last week. More formed stools but not solid. I am 51 and still having my monthly cycle. When I first came home from the hospital I did find that first cycle to be extra awful in the UC area. I did some research and found that because of horomones that can be an extra difficult time. But, it has only lasted a couple of days each month if at all.
This month is different....
My question: I started my cycle on last Saturday, On Friday around 1 PM I began with watery diarreha and urgency. I began to go to the bathroom once every hour and then up and down Friday night 4 times. This continued through Saturday evening and then eased off. No night time bathroom visits. It restarted on Sunday morning through now.During the day I am in the bathroom every hour. Still watery mucus. Already been 4 times this morning. I have not had a lot of blood even in the beginning when the GI Dr. diagnosed me.
Can anyone tell me why this may be happening now. I do find that foods really don't seem to affect one way or the other. Stress is usually my culprit but nothing is going on right now. Help with any answers, suggestions, thoughts would be appreciated. I am learning but I don't know if I am learning the right things. Please help if you can.
Thank you very much
Peg
