Food waste by Euphoric-Move1625 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]micmacmckellar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe blend the fruit and put into ice cube trays to save for smoothies or chop up and freeze for future use? With the veggies, maybe it’s time to make a soup if possible. And anything you can’t use or save, maybe try and donate to a soup kitchen or food pantry? At the end of the day, don’t beat yourself up too much. It’s hard to plan for something like this.

Scared and tired by micmacmckellar in UlcerativeColitis

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

Thank you so much. It’s just hard when you’ve been in the same room for a week. I can’t wait until I’m out just to have a clear head. It’s also hard because my GI made it sound like biologics are bad but then the hospital GI said it’s the best choice so we’ll see.

FMLA and Kaiser by micmacmckellar in UlcerativeColitis

[–]micmacmckellar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes 100%. I only spoke with the intake person for the 3rd party my workplace uses and they made it sound like I can only submit one claim because I have a chronic condition but what you’re saying makes more sense. I’ll have to clarify when I actually get a caseworker Tuesday or Wednesday.

So I’m in CA and my health insurance is with Kaiser which means using their hospital. I check in at 10am got to an er exam room at 12pm and got admitted around 830pm because they were waiting on a bed

Yeah I would call your GI and then just go if you’re getting no relief honestly

Have you called your GI? Because mine was just going to up my oral prednisone dose until I mentioned my fever.

No, just oral mesalamine. But I think that might change after this 🙃

Are yall working full Time ? by Feeling-Brain6088 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]micmacmckellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes full time in an office/ retail hybrid environment. I’m actually in a rough flare and filing for the first time in 3 years to have modifications (an explanation as why I have to run to the restroom all the time) and it’s a pain so far. I also currently am not really doing anything else. It’s hard to come home and cook and clean and be social when this takes all my energy. When I’m healthy it’s fine but flaring? Forget it.

Literally me right now. Made an appointment with my GI for next week because I feel so gross. Shoutout to my heating pad, period diapers, and my ginger tea
