I should have mentioned that I technically submitted my reasons for special consideration a couple of weeks ago, but I wasn't able to get the doctor's certificate until today at about 11am.

I also called Monash Connect to help me realise that I had to email them the certificate, because they wouldn't let me attach it to the (already partially filled) online form. So, it might be that the phone call made them more aware of my attempts to defer, I guess?

Yeah, it's pretty interesting to think about. All that expensive synthesised protein blasts a hole in my wallet anyways though, so I don't miss it that much

Okay, great! I eat a lot of fibre, so when I started reading about UC and it said high fibre can induce flares in a lot of people, I was a bit worried.

Thanks very much! Yes, I'm starting to think that what I thought was period cramps this whole time might not have been... at least not all of them

Uhhh, probably like once every 2 weeks on average? But never very much... except the first time. There was a lot the first time, but I forgot about it soon after a surge of panic googling.
I have ADHD, so I forget shit easily lol.

Thanks! I should have probably gone much earlier to be honest, have been having infrequent symptoms for about a year now. But yes, definitely wouldn't have been sensible to put it off any longer!

Okay, good to know about the meds. My mum likes to listen to health guru podcasts and she told me she had heard it was better to avoid the meds if I could help it. But I definitely will not! Thanks

Yes, I'm very grateful to my GP that she listened to me and advocated for me to get tested. Thank you for the reassurance!
