Uh oh! Is this a sign?

Weepy? Like sad?

You seem quite stressed. Try to get lots of rest! Take a warm bath, watch tv or whatever you like to do. And do you take your 6mp with food? I heard that can help with nausea, if it's the 6mp is what's causing it. Sometimes it's hard to eat when you're stressed and don't feel well, but make an effort to get some food. Eat something nice and soothing. I hope you feel better!

I could try and sugar coat it, but the reality is you just have to do the best you can despite the stress and frustration at your uc progress. It sucks, isn't easy when things are going rough. Immerse yourself in something you love, a distraction to escape for a while, and lower your stress levels. Few people are upset for long with a cat laying on their lap, a good book in-hand, after a walk outside, etc.

Just know you're not alone, as we've all been there dealing with uc plus everything else all at once

My cat does the same thing! He's been sleeping near me every night, even when I'm on the couch. Of course he waits until I'm deep asleep, and then stomps right on my gallbladder (EVERY TIME) trying to cuddle (and his name is Stompy, very fitting)

You're way bigger than those pills ;) I swallow all three of mine at once now. You should see my dad. He has a whole shoebox of bottles. He has a whole handful of pills and takes them all at once. I always grimace lol. And speaking of eggs and dad, once when I was really sick (bad virus, puking, lost a ton of weight, I was on a cot in the living room) my dad made me a mess of scrambled eggs and then tried to make me eat it and get up and walk around. BLECH!! :) Do you need to borrow him? He can make anybody eat! haha. I can't turn my back on him without seeing more food when I turn around.

Keep relaxing with your buddy!

I get those pills down with some zofran when things are really bad. Weepy is usually hormonal for me but when I was on an antidepressant, nothing made me weep. it as interesting. Now a days, I weep every time I read something about an animal that needs a home. it's horrible! I think you will be okay, if you need something for nausea, ask your GI. Are you taking 6mp at night or still half AM/PM? I always took it before bed to try to ward off nausea. I didn't really have side effects. I have always had fatigue so I wouldn't notice that unless it were REALLY bad. Did you ever have a b12 shot? I had one at my GI recently and i think it helped with energy... How are your UC symptoms? If you're bleeding, you may be dealing with low counts and that can cause tiredness.

I would like to switch to night only. Maybe after blood tests next week I will see.

No blood, some mucous that could actually be canasa as well. Symptoms are subsiding but I think it's because I got back on steriod ennies for a couple of weeks every night. I hate them so last night I used canasa instead.

I gonna start to taper off of Uceris in a couple of weeks using budesonide which is useless but great for tapering off Uceris.

I just an emotional basket case, I admit it, I still haven't wrapped my head around this thing. I guess cause this is my worst flare ever.

Well going to whole foods in a bit to try to figure our some food options. I sick of cooking too.

Just shoot me.

Your life sounds like my life. Right now everything is super intense because we're in the middle of the toughest part. But time marches on and we just gotta keep doing what we're doing. As long as we're following doctors orders, looking after ourselves the best we can according to the knowledge that's out there, what more can we do? Bad days are going to come but so are better days. Try to accept the bad days as well as embrace the good ones. Allow yourself to be angry and swear and stay home and be a hermit on the bad ones. One day we'll be in remission and this tough time will be a distant memory.

You shouldn't need to taper off of Uceris. It's not systemic like pred. I've been on it a couple times and never tapered.

Doc said do not just stop taking it and so I asked pharmacist and he said to taper using budesonide as well. I didn't think you had to taper either!

Kid has a golf tourney this weekend! She so excited! I just bought her a new putter today!

I have more faith here than my Drs. He said don't taper until I dont see blood, ha! I will be on it forever.
