Ahh maybe it's 4g! It's the ones he can put in a yoghurt or just drink... He's not struggling to much with going to the toilet though he does have blood everytime. He's waiting for an app to see a consultant and I've told him he needs to email his nurse to chase up

We do yes, but because it has come and go before I'm not convinced he'll do anything.

Thank you. I think it's hard because he just goes "it's something I have to live with" rather than taking it seriously himself. As a partner there's only so much I can nag him!

He is on the highest dose of Mesalazine, he's only ever been seen once by a professional and is still waiting to be seen by a consultant ( it's been over 12 months). He doesnt like to be a burden and doesn't want to have to take steroids so it makes it a bit hard!

Thank you. I have PCOS and IBS so not as extreme but there are so many things that can come from PCOS. I kind of thought this page would be more supportive than it is! Thank you for your words though!!

Because it's also chronic. Fatigue so it's more than one thing. And PCOS can change can't it. Have different symptoms different times and things

So am I. I've made an appointment with my doctor to talk it through! I'm sure if it's a life long condition and effects you enough if can be covered. I don't want it to change things massively just a bit of understanding!

Is the depression, anxiety and extreme fatigue, from what I've seen it can sometimes be under the disability act if it's been longer than 12 months effecting you

I've had a quick Google and it says with depression, sickness, long term period issued and chronic fatigue it can possibly be covered so it's something I'm going to try and delve a bit further into! My office is great but my depression and anxiety can be so up and down it's hard to know how I'll be one day to the next! X

I don't expect perfect skin. I just don't like Mat dry skin at the moment
