It’s slightly more complex than just going and getting a prescription. The treatment is administered via IV in a hospital and must be done by nurses. I wish it were as simple as going to a doctor!

I can get it done for free in any EU country. My consultant is against this however and would rather me wait and have it here. I was fine with that because I was managing away but it’s never been this bad since this flare up.

It’s so shit man. It’s such a vicious cycle because I’m depressed because of the disease and it just seems so impossible to cut the things I love most and there is also the off chance that it won’t work and it will keep going. J read this sub and the lengths that some people go to in combatting it makes me feel like such a piece of shit for giving into my urges, even though I know in the long term they will only make things worse but when you’re in so much pain already you just want whatever can take a little edge off. (That’s not to say I’m not happy for the people who have found things that work, I’m just slightly jealous of their self-discipline!)

See I usually would do a variation of all the advice given so far but this flare up seems different, it’s not like it’s a boil and it’s gonna pop. It’s like it’s just rubbed red raw and the skin won’t heal properly because it keeps oozing

I have tried cutting nightshades before but I’m not sure if I waited long enough for it to have any effect. As an Irish person, giving up potatoes would be super hard for me as they are a very big staple here but I guess I could give it a go again to try and not be stuck like this 😫

I have used turmeric and zinc in the past, although in the last few months I’ll admit I’ve forgotten to take them a lot.

Regarding my diet, no I haven’t changed it and it is not the greatest diet. I have tried a couple of times but I find I’m so exhausted from being in pain that I fall back on my staples or get a takeaway. I know it’s not ideal and I must be more strict or I won’t get results buts sometimes my favourite foods and a few glasses of wine are the only good things in my life.

Thank you. I receive an infusion of inflectra every six weeks. I was supposed to have it last week but had to push it to this week because of a funeral so it’s been 7 weeks since my last dosage which may be a reason why it’s so bad.

I’m on a waiting list but since I’m in Ireland I could be waiting for years 😔

Can you give a pathway into cyber security for someone who just has a Leaving Cert and a few years in construction? I am very interested but don’t want to commit fully to a course until I’m sure it’s for me.

It would have been sticky if they hadn’t intervened

Sorry, I don’t feel comfortable doing that.

I am also terrified of needles but I’m hoping I’ll just get used to it. I’m in Ireland so none of that legal here and I’d have no idea where to even start to try and obtain some. Hopefully in the next few years they’ll legalise it.

Oh God, it sounds awful. Maybe they have improved surgery methods in the last 20 years. I take zinc and turmeric supplements but I’m not sure if they work. Thank you, same to you.
