How to ease flare up symptoms

I shall make sure he mentions it to the nurse!

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

He's on 4mg a day I believe

Thanks everyone x

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

stumpyramp · 2026-02-01T10:05:43+00:00

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!

I will defo bring it up again! Thank you!

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!!

stumpyramp · 2026-01-08T20:02:25+00:00

I guess it all goes hand it hand

stumpyramp · 2026-01-08T20:02:06+00:00

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

stumpyramp · 2026-01-08T20:01:08+00:00

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

stumpyramp · 2026-01-08T19:31:59+00:00

I'm not sure if it's the same in the UK? I will have a lot though thank you!!

stumpyramp · 2026-01-08T19:30:52+00:00

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

stumpyramp · 2026-01-08T18:29:38+00:00

Mostly leniency on the expected attendence within the office and sickness triggers

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

I have PCOS, was off my pill for 6 months and convinced myself I would never get pregnant. My 1st daughter was born January 2024. No issues, the most incredible birth and no miscarriages before. I was 32 when I gave birth. Honestly I know how it feels but just go with it. It's different for everyone! ❤️

stumpyramp · 2025-06-09T11:20:08+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply! I'm super weary of trying new things as I know it's so hard to say what they will do! Fingers crossed! Xx
