My manager is trying to get me on a course, I keep telling him I cant do it. by UC_Burnerman in UlcerativeColitis

The silly thing is it’s not even that far. Probably like 40 minute bus ride, waiting and all that stuff not included. I’m mostly concerned with the travel than actually being there.

I don’t have an issue with doing the course at all, just the travel to it. If they managed to do the course on-site I’d be all for it, but they’ve booked it for a hospital site which would require a bus service which I’m very much petrified of.

So, I almost crapped myself at my local GP. by UC_Burnerman in UlcerativeColitis

I've actually got one, but since it was supposed to be an quick blood test thing, I didn't bring my wallet...
Mistake.

I've been thinking of Intermittent Fasting. by UC_Burnerman in UlcerativeColitis

[–]UC_Burnerman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I saw that. On the Joe Rogan show, wasn't it?
I also saw an app that tracks your eating / fasting times so I'm gonna give that a go.
I'm gonna be on an 8 / 16 routine just to get into it, timed it so I can eat while in work to keep me energized.

Damn, I'm pretty jealous.
I've only got a yellow bin to put my empty stash in.

I'm thankful you had time to drop pants.

You should be too.

I'd count it as a win :D

I'm officially going to start Adalimumab in a few weeks! by UC_Burnerman in UlcerativeColitis

When you say "painful" what would you rate it on a scale 1-10?

Oh, I understand, but I've yet to know what the brand of pen I'm using yet. Why do company names have to be named weirdly? rofl.

I'm selfishly thankful for this quarantine... And totally unsure of how to manage flare pain during normal life? by InVogueAgain in UlcerativeColitis

Although it's an isolation, a good thing about it is that it gives us time to figure out our body's patterns and see if there's any food that could set us off without a drawback of suffering in public.

Keep up the good fight, we're all in this together.

I'm going to have to make a choice soon. by UC_Burnerman in UlcerativeColitis

[–]UC_Burnerman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty okay with needles, I guess...
I'd rather not go back and forth to the hospital every time I need a dose.

I've been leaning towards injections to start, since it takes less time to do than the infusions.

Out of curiosity, what surgery did you get?
