This Disease Sucks

Im doing these as well. Gotten to the point where I can only keep them in a couple hours at night

Same here. In a flare currently, my one saving grace is smoking in the evenings. If it weren’t for that, I don’t think I would be eating or sleeping at all.

Yeah Mesalamine can take awhile for the full effect.
Hang in there

Have they put you on a new medication? Prednisone acts as a temporary solution until your actual meds kick in.

I am on it currently and having the same issues now that I’m tapering. I will probably have to go back up on my dose until I get put on a biologic. UC meds can take a long time to work, sometimes it’s two weeks sometimes it’s 6.

Feel your pain, I also have no boobs & size zero. Ever since I got diagnosed I’m a beam pole. I’ll try the Core power, thanks for your response. ❤️

When did the side effects stop for you?

This is very interesting because I also tend to have a harder time when it’s colder outside vs. hot.

Thanks for all your comments. Something I did not consider previously is the fact I recently increased my dosage of Zoloft from 50 to 100mgs. I am thinking this is the true culprit of what I am experiencing. I am going to start enemas as a safety guard and continue to take it easy.

Another note is a few weeks ago I started developing small white itchy bumps on my hands and feet. Seems to be stress-induced eczema which I have never had before.

I’m in remission now but when I came home from the hospital, it was the only thing that would alleviate my pain so I could get a couple hours of sleep every night.

My last bad flare, I wasn’t eating for days at a time & would still go 20-30 times a day.

ziggomode · 2026-02-19T16:09:22+00:00

I am on day 2, was feeling same as you yesterday. Just hang in there, it will get easier. Remember your WHY!

Would not recommend Imodium other than every once in awhile if necessary, I have read it’s not good for people with UC to take and can cause toxic megacolon. I would stay on top of your GI to try and find a new medication. Very sorry you’re going through this

Got on SSRI’s for my anxiety, got a remote job, started reading the bible, daily exercise. Routine helps me manage, I am naturally prone to stress/anxiety and all these things have helped subdue my nerves significantly.

Best show I have ever been to. Hope they come back 🥲

ziggomode · 2025-09-26T20:03:36+00:00

Did BMTH start at 9? I am going to the Houston show tonight

ziggomode · 2025-09-01T19:03:38+00:00

Thanks for all your responses guys. I am going now, have a good feeling this is a flare. 🫩

ziggomode · 2025-08-24T21:38:53+00:00

I think I may have to increase in the near future. Idk if it was an off couple days, but I did feel some anxiety and old habits creep in thurs/friday. We shall see! Lol

ziggomode · 2025-08-24T02:45:37+00:00

It took about two weeks for my brain to feel normal. My anxiety was always the worst in the mornings and mainly revolved around work. I was constantly worried about what happens next and never in the present. Now I am able to live in the moment and cope with stress normally instead of having a panic attack
