Ewwww too much information. My sympathies - don't sound like fun

 

[Waterworx]

Don't know whats worse- the grim symptons or the fatigue, which is what i'm struggling with most ATM. Self employed and can't be arsed to work :thumbsdown:

I've got over 10 years of experience of it. Although its not something to brag about.
I'm surprised you brought the subject up on here.
Are you on medication for it?

 

[Waterworx]

Yeah. Asacol, a couple of foams. That side isn't to bad, as good as it's gonna get without any ops. It's the fatigue side of it I'm after advice for, can easily sleep 12-18 hours a day if I allowed my self.

 

[MalV]

I don't have that problem.
Although when on holiday I do struggle to motivate myself even to go down to the pool
And when I do I could easily sleep for hours and come away looking like a lobster

Seriously, being self employed and living with UC must be hard for you. You just need to keep yourself occupied.

my only experience of it is that it's on page 84 of my clinical medicine handbook of which i am currently doing my best to memorise all 864 pages in a bid to pass my exams!

sorry to hear about it, and all the best.
