Possible flaring (again....)

[snowiezip]

For the last day or two I've been struggling to go to the loo - almost constipated but I am able to pass small amounts often even although I feel there's more still to come ( sorry tmi) and I've noticed when I wipe there's a lot of mucus aswell. Before this I'd say I was in quite a mild flare, waiting for meds to work but is this a sign that I'm going to get worse again? I've also got low abdo pain below my tummy button and in my rectum which is more like uncomfy pressure.

Any thought / tips etc are muchly appreciated

What kinds of meds are you on? Have you contacted your doctor about this? I would keep a watch and if you're passing big amounts of blood, then I'd make sure to see your doctor. But, I also know that if all you're passing is mucus and no blood there's not a whole lot that can be done at the moment (this is what's happened with me). Just keep hydrated, and as healthy as possible. Hope things get a little easier for you. :hug:

Hey thanks for your reply, at the moment there's no blood just mucus. In the last 2 months I have started humira and imuran alongside pentasa & multivitamins, I know the meds can take a while to work effectively I just can't bear the thought of having a full blown flare again x
