Hi for anyone interested here´s an update, I am writing from my hospital bed, I have been here three weeks now but I can go home tomorrow.
When I was admitted I was really quite poorly and with all the straining on the loo had a huge hemorrhoid develop, One of the firsts things they did was cut this off then they sent me to another hospital where I remained until now. I have had 8 pints of blood over the three weeks and various other drips. I had an Endoscopy which showed a couple of small stomach ulcers that they said was not related to my Colitis but probably due to nerves. A chest Xray showed I had a fractured sternum, and now I am having to have a special Xray to see if I have osteoporosis.
I can´t fault the treatment here in Hungary, although the food is dreadful, I have lost about two stones now. This illness is dreadful but at least I am now getting the treatment I desperately needed, I still bleed a little but I definitely don´t need the loo quite as often. They seem very confident that they will be able to manage it and keep it under control with regular check ups. I have to pop back in November, so I have my fingers crossed.
I am very weak due to lack of decent food, but I am looking forward to going home tomorrow and hope that this will bring improvements.
Great forum, anyone else out there suffering keep your chin up talk again soon Ian
