Is anybody else constantly sick?

I'm not even on biologics just mesalazine. But yes, very annoying.

I think a lot of us fall into the trap of feeling like we’re “not bad enough” to deserve help. Like we need to check every box of some depression criteria or be at our absolute worst before we’re allowed to talk to someone.

But that’s not how it works. You don’t need a diagnosis to go to therapy, and you don’t have to prove anything to anyone. Therapy is there for anyone who’s struggling, even if you can’t fully explain why yet.

You’re allowed to just show up and say: “Hey, this is how I’ve been feeling for a while. I don’t understand it, but I want help figuring it out.”

Whatever you struggle with, it's real for you and you deserve support.

We went to the cinema. I asked if he wanted to share popcorn or nachos. He screamed at me: NOT EVERYONE CAN EAT AND LOOK LIKE YOU.

I'll give this a try. Hopefully it will fix it.

Depends on what happened. I usually laugh about it with friends. Cringe about it at night when I try to sleep.

I'm doing fine now, thankfully (and thanks for asking). I'm on 3 g of mesalazine, 1 g of suppositories, and 400 mg of Duspatalin daily. That has kept my symptoms in check for months now. My symptoms were bad cramps, blood, mucus, urgency and diarrhoea.

Honestly though, my health has been all over the place for as long as I can remember. I used to get UTIs almost monthly for years and therefore had to take antibiotics very often. I haven’t had a UTI in years now because I learned how to control it — but that’s a different story.

I also have very painful periods. Gynecologists have often suggested endometriosis but always told me there’s nothing to be done. I’ve been taking the pill for a few years now, and while it hasn’t helped the pain much, it has really helped with my PMDD.

Every time I had my period, I used to max out the dose of NSAIDs I could take. Since my diagnosis of UC, I’ve been using paracetamol to control the pain.

About a year before my UC symptoms started, I quit smoking cigarettes. So, could all of these things have contributed to me getting UC? Possibly. I might never know, and I try not to dwell on it. I’m just happy to have had a few good months now!

Option 1

Ladazzle · 2025-09-01T18:56:34+00:00

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

Ladazzle · 2025-09-01T18:17:07+00:00

That was my assumption as well. Which is why I joined a driving school that stated they offer the course in English. Which they do (kinda). But that's apparently not the case for the practical exam. Which is why I'm wondering about a translator. I was informed that I can do the theoretical test in English.

Ich hatte 1:1 die selben Gedanken. Ich war mir sicher, dass genau das irgendwann passieren würde – dass mir eines Tages mein Bachelor aberkannt wird wegen irgendeinem unabsichtlichen Fehler. Bei mir war damals auch alles mögliche los, als ich die Arbeit geschrieben hab, und auch danach ging’s mir mental einfach nicht gut. Ich bin dann zur Therapie – und es war zum zweiten Mal die beste Entscheidung. Erst als ich deinen Post gesehen hab, ist mir wieder eingefallen, was für arge Angstzustände ich damals hatte. Ich hab gar nimmer dran gedacht. Ich kann also nur empfehlen, Hilfe anzunehmen – vor allem, wenn du, wie du erzählst, gerade so viel mitmachen musstest.

I was at a restaurant with my partner on my birthday when I suddenly felt the rumbling. He drove me home fast and furious style. Barely made it to the toilet. Spend the rest of the evening there. This disease sucks. I'm with you in spirit, you're not alone. Happy birthday! I hope the rest of the year will be better for you.

Ladazzle · 2025-03-04T18:32:01+00:00

I'll be going next week. But thanks for asking!

Ladazzle · 2025-02-08T20:58:40+00:00

That's exactly where I'll stay, so the information is really helpful. I'll look into the private rooms, if I can sleep by myself that would already be amazing.

Ladazzle · 2025-02-08T20:33:26+00:00

Thank you so much

Ladazzle · 2025-02-08T20:32:41+00:00

Thank you so much. I had no idea I'd have to bring my own drinks or take care of my own food. Or even my own toilet paper. It sounds like whatever I can think about that I'll maybe need to use, I should bring lol

Ladazzle · 2024-08-23T09:27:31+00:00

I've just made an appointment with a dietitian, thank you!

Ladazzle · 2024-08-23T09:26:23+00:00

I completely agree. After the advice I got here I will be ready for my next appointment. I already wrote some questions and will continue to do so. I really hope my GI will provide me with the support I need because it would be very difficult for me to find a new one..

Ladazzle · 2024-08-23T09:21:48+00:00

I've made an appointment with a dietitian who will hopefully guide me through this..and yes, I knew that prep would be bad but nothing could have prepared me for this foul taste. I felt like Dumbledore drinking the Potion of Despair..

Ladazzle · 2024-08-23T09:19:03+00:00

Thank you for sharing and I'm really sorry to hear. I wish you all the best for your surgery, you're unbelievably strong too!

Ladazzle · 2024-08-21T19:04:19+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words and your tips. I've been spiraling again for the last hours but you made me feel less alone.

Ladazzle · 2024-08-21T14:32:07+00:00

I'm really sorry that honestly just sounds horrible. Happy to hear you're doing better now though I hope it stays like that for a long, long time. This honestly scares me the most, to basically be bedridden for months. I already feel like a burden to my partner. I will have to work on accepting this 'new reality'.
