Can Anyone Relate?

Yes. A few weeks ago, I was feeling absolutely fantastic and enjoying one of my best days in over a year, and that night I woke up with agonizing abdominal pain. Turned out to be adhesions from my surgery, and I had to have a short 3 day stay in the hospital waiting for my ileostomy to start making output again.

On a day to day basis, I can relate as well. Some days I am happy to be alive and grateful for what I have, but the very next day I will be in a "why me" or a "life's a bitch" type of mood. I know how you feel! It's an exhausting emotional process that most regular people cannot relate to.

I can relate.I will be 2 years post take down in September.I have learned to trully watch what I consume. I also think our fluid intake plays a big part with us.
Being a Thyroid patient has not helped me in this journey.My Thyroid lab values also play a Big role with me.
I take each day as a new adventure.I have to admit I come a
long way in almost 2 years.
Just know you are not alone

Yes. I just had a long run of near perfect function, finally acknowledged it in my head and the next day - WHAM. Issues. Oh well. Anything is better than a flare of the old UC.

Thanks guys its just nice to know there are people out there that are experiencing the same things. It gives me a piece of mind I feel a lot better and will keep fighting the good fight. Thanks again.
