Hi, just saying hello (and need a hug)!
Hi! - I'm sitting here (well, trying to sit!) in severe pain, so started searching the 'net and arrived here... I've been diagnosed with diverticulitis for a couple of years now (symptoms go back 5 or 6 years) plus, it now seems, Crohn's (most likely, specialist thinks) or possibly ulcerative colitis. Tests are still ongoing but repeated antibiotics and prednisolone (currently still on this) haven't brought the latest flare-up under control - spending half my life runnng to/ sitting in the bathroom/ bleeding heavily/ and PAINNNNN!!!!. Waiting to start Humira injections (such fun!) and wondering where I go from here...
I'm normally pretty cheerful and uncomplaining (honest!) but feeling a bit down and sorry for myself right now - will bounce back I'm sure when this subsides enough to let me get a couple of hours sleep (camera up the rear again yesterday hasn't helped matters!). Best regards and good health to everyone on here..., David.
