Starting Over 1 More Time! Come On Colitis

Introduction:

California Karen; have been diagnosed for only 2 months now and i in a twist about this crap literally! can anyone give me advice! need some cheering up today!

Colitis Symptoms:

bloody poop and constipation and horrible joint pain and gut cramps !!!!!

Give Me Some UC Love UC’ers:

California Karen! I need some advice today? Does any one have a husband or wife that is experienceing sympathy symptoms just like what you goe through! Or does my hubby also have this disease? My joint pain has been horrible the last week; more at night and I’m a tired wreck the next day! Im not a pain meds person but i had some hydrocodone that the doctor gave me! It does nothing except keep me awake!

My cramps have been excruciating .

We recently bought a used old lady bed side potty! Hoping I would never have to use it. Guess what i have to use it cause sometimes i have to sit there a while; and all i get for it is a pebble the size of gravel! Really! I feel like everything in there is to swollen to let anything pass! anyone have this problem? should I use suppositorys or a laxitive? and if i do i know i cant plan to go anywhere! As far as my eating; I thought i was doing ok with no bloody poop for a while but after be ing backed up for a while now; ive decided to go back to ensure and some propel water and start over again! I dont see the gi docter till march 16 so maybe shell help me, but until then i am just going to drink ensure, I think i just was being pressured by people to try different things to fast. everyone saying the hospital said you need to try new things! sometimes i feel like SCREAMING leave me alone please! I really just hate going places to eat like last night we had my hubbys grad dinner for the volunteer police and everything there i couldnt eat ; so i had a hotdog, nothing on it and some potato chips! My grandson 5 years old was there and asked Nana are you suppose to be eating that?!
