Does anyone have any idea of why I might be having symptoms of blood and cramping along with sweating/feeling unwell? I have U/C but this feels like another complication. My C Diff test came back negative and they are testing other cultures at the moment. Any thoughts at all? devil

Sounds like a regular old nasty flare. What makes you think it's not? What are you doing to treat your UC?

sounds like a really bad flare up. Any other symptoms that make you think its not just a flare?

I would also say it sounds like a flare....sorry :( Hope you can get it under control quickly!

Thank you for responses - I don't remember sweating and exhaustion like this. I am not anaemic. Feels like some low grade virus/infection , but clearly the usual uc symptoms are there as well. It feels different to other flares but it could be that the MO has changed. I can normally carry on with life in some form, but at the moment I'm off work. On the usual meds of salofalk enemas, cortisone enemas and balsalazide together with SCD diet, probiotics, slippery elm, LDN etc.

Another question - do you all manage to work during a severe flare up? I have been off work for a week and certainly do not feel able to go back at the moment.

I have worked during my flares but my Boss knew I was sick and for me I was usually ok during the day. Just the first hour or two of the morning would be bad. I didn't feel completely awful either. Everyone is different though.

Well I struggled on for months as I have done in the past, but I am now getting worried that I will not manage to work full time again. Certainly not able to work at the moment. I don't know what I will do if I end up not being able to work at all? Such a worry!

Catherine, don't get yourself into a state about "forever" when you need to solve "right now." I am certain that you can find a way to get better.

Ahh I'm so sorry to hear I have the exact same issues my flares are often a lot different from each other what grade of uc do you have as I have very severe extended colitis I am also anaemic and get very lethargic. I don't always feel capable of attending school during a flare so I know the feeling sorry for what your going through I'm suffering at the moment also

I guess the 'forever' thinking is part of my whole problem which is basically anxiety. You are right, I need to concentrate on getting well now. I think 'Eminent' that my colitis is severe but fairly low down so I cannot imagine what you are going through. We just have to take time out when the flare is bad. Certainly my stress levels are high due to a forthcoming court case for my disabled son. Maybe things will resolve when I have sorted this issue out. It sucks in the meantime though ..... Thanks one and all.
