Hi All,
Im hoping for a bit of advice from people in the same position as me if anyone can help out that would be great!
I have Crohn's and colitis but Im doing pretty well at the moment Ive had a lot of problems and pain over the last few years which seems to be calming down a bit which is obviously quite a relief. My consultant says that I am pretty much clear of any inflammation in my bowel right now but im still having problems with urgency and never having a solid movement. I still get the problem where my body just keeps trying to go to the toilet even though I have just been! Is it worth considering anything else or speaking with my consultant, he seems to not be very interested now that all the paperwork says im doing fine (have been downgraded to phonecall appointments with the nurse every 3 months)
I also still have problems dealing with this mentally, if i have to go out anywhere my body has to go to the toilet about 5 times before i leave i think this is more of a mental thing perhaps? Im also really concerned about needing the toilet when im out and about. Does anyone have any strategy for dealing with this side of things, id really like to go back to work and get some friends again but this Crohn's stuff makes it really difficult!
