Well I have been sick for about a month because of a virus which in turn inflamed my colitis. Have lost some weight because I haven't been able to eat very well, and very fatigued. I'm going to a new doctor on Monday, to she if she can help me get this back under control. In the meantime I sort of totally stopped the program was in 9 but I have deciced to start over. Colitis is inflammation of the colon and similar symtoms to IBS but a little more intense and lasts longer. Also was worried about swine flu a few weeks ago when my kids got the flu, I guess that didn't help. Anybody else have Colitis?
Well my diagnosis is just general colitis not ulceritive. Went to the doctor and got some medicine prednisone along with the pentassa I'm taking and it is helping, kind of have to eat small bland portions. The medicine is helping but still tired. I know there will be an end to this and I will feel better soon. Just had to find a doctor I could get into that could help me. Whenever I search for just plain colitis on the internet I can never find anything but ulcerative or crones. It has the inflammation and redness and irritation but not the ulcers and bleeding so I'm lucky it is not worse. Thanks all.
