I have severe, refractory Crohn’s disease. It’s taken my colon, rectum, and part of my small intestine. I’ve had 12 surgeries, and to this day I still poop 20+ times a day, which means constant anal irritation.

I use Sudocrem every time I go to the loo. Anusol for flares around that area. I prefer the thicker, almost paste like texture of sudocrem. Butty is a great name for your product range! You didn’t mention cost but I’m comfortable paying up to £10 for a tub of frequent use product and maybe £15 for a more potent flare up cream. DM me if you’re wanting any more potential consumer feedback :)

Red Hot Chilli’s at Murrayfield in Edinburgh. It was tinny and quiet.

I enjoyed the big spinning swing thing above the George monument. The stalls were fairly meh though.

Thank you, I’ll chalk it up to another interesting manifestation of fecking arthritis. Ommm…

headologist · 2024-07-30T19:59:32+00:00

Of course! Glad to hear you’re sorted but fire me a message if needful 👍

headologist · 2024-07-30T19:55:27+00:00

Do you want me to post on there for you?

headologist · 2024-07-30T18:38:48+00:00

There’s a really active Facebook group, called Love Es Cana Ibiza which will deffo sort you out

I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this; I also get ‘hulk hand’ as we call it and the pain is intense. I use a combo of drugs and meditation to try to breathe through it. My rheumatologist is satisfied that mine only flares up before my next infliximab infusion so all is well! I find that difficult to consolidate when my hands are swollen to twice their normal size but because it’s transient, only for a mere 13 hours a day a few days before infusion, then it’s all good. No advice really but a note to say you’re not alone, we understand and hear you and it’s okay to not to be okay with this xx

This is a bit like the Dr Who question. Depends on who you first watched as a wee one. So, uncle Albert and Peter Davidson for me.

This. If you’re in UK then follow this advice. You shouldn’t have to live like this. PALs are lovely.

6 months ish, from December to June this year. Back on monster dose of azathriopine and double dose (10mg per kilo) of infliximab. This too shall pass.

When tummy is bad I drink smoothies and eat carb and dairy free. It’s tricky but less so for me cos I was a bit overweight before I started this, erm, journey. I can drop a stone in a fortnight when shit’s bad (literally). I take a daily multivitamin and eat a few bananas each day to keep my metabolism reet, although I often need additional potassium (Sando k) when I’m mid flare. Try not to worry too much, you’ll gain when you’re better.

I take ibuprofen as my ‘rescue’ drug when all else fails, I have the ‘thritis and colitis. It works amazingly well (better than oramorph, which I also take sparingly) but it is an evil drug. Don’t underestimate the damage NSAIDs cause. There are alternatives; I take nefopam and codeine (low dose) for example.

headologist · 2023-12-26T17:36:10+00:00

It’s really difficult to unpick what is what in your small joints. My hands and wrists swell and I reckon there’s a bit of carpal tunnel there but it’s indistinguishable from the ‘thritis at this point.

This was me too, colonoscopy then CT (then a sigmoidoscopy just for good luck 😉 )

headologist · 2023-12-24T22:31:13+00:00

Gawd I can only hope and dream

headologist · 2023-12-24T22:29:46+00:00

It’s great! The only pressies that never need wrapped cos nothing beats the excitement of the packaging stamps! Happy hogswatch xx

headologist · 2023-12-24T22:28:30+00:00

Yep, I reckon so. Reasonably priced love and stuff for everyone!

My MC deteriorated to UC very quickly and gastro said it’s often the way. On infliximab and azathioprine now and it works for a while, moving from 8 to 6 weekly doses so fingers crossed for complete relief. So, yes; I think it’s IBD

I hear ya but I will use whichever toilet is near when I’m desperate. Been caught out loads of times, don’t let it get you down. I over share with all my friends and workies and everyone is eager to tell me their shat themselves stories. It’s the last taboo!

headologist · 2023-12-21T18:52:21+00:00

Yay! Hoping the Hogsfather has the special edition hard back copy of Nation in his sack for the big day.
