Cat, so thrilled you get to go back on Asacol!!
Allie, I am so sorry to hear about your hubby's deployment 
Sunshine, when do you get the test results and what is planned for you next?
Dahl, glad you got your meds (and at a great price!), hope they work for you.
I'm not doing so good. done far too much (boring stuff) over the last few days and going to pay for it... but no-one to help me out so I have to do it myself. Just sick of feeling like you-know-what the whole time and being in so much pain. I am waking with abdo pains in the morning which I hate. Just can't see past what I am lacking at the moment; a life, money, a partner, a car, a job etc. As I get worse I can use the bus less and less. Limited funds for taxis and there really is no-one who can give me lifts. I end up being too ill to go out for days so by the time I can, I have a list of errands as long as my arm, and it is hard to get them all done.
I am not looking forward to adjusting my diet but it is the only way I can try and lose weight for the surgery, so I have to do it. I have now told Rheumy and GI things are not good, and I really hope they can get me seen at surgery sooner, or come up with another test I can do in the meantime. I always feel like i'm moving forward when I am having tests you know, even though I have lost faith one will diagnose me some day!!
And Mum just came back from holiday as you know, she needed and deserved it but doesn't stop me feeling envious. She really talked down to me the other day, saying "maybe you'll be ready for a little holiday next year" (since I was saying no faith next year I will get a dx since last year I thought I would this year etc). So I said rather tartly I was well ready for a holiday now, but I could not take a break from my life/illness. She didn't have a reply!
