Hi folks. I've got mild UC and i'm in my second real flare up. It's
into it's 4th month now and i'm getting really fed up. i'm on Colifoam
and Asacol, Doc gave me a short course of prednisolone to try and nip
it in the bud, it seemed to work initially but now i'm back in full
flare up. just about to leave the house this morning and i had an
accident, had to change and shower again before i left the house. i
find it very stressfull and anxiety provoking, i work in mental health
and i'm community based so i'm not always near a toilet,i can be in
the car or in a clients house. not very easy. i start Uni in 2 weeks
too, doing ny nurse training, really need to be ok for that. I'm just
really fed up and wanted to share. maybe its time for a medication
review??
