hi, I’ve been on Cortiment steroids for approx 4 months now and they are working, but recently I’ve noticed my stomach has been more upset (diarrhoea) and I’m going on holiday soon so feeling a little anxious. . I asked the ibs nurses for advice who basically told me to stop stressing as it will make my symptoms worse!!
I felt shocked and explained UC is a physical disease not a mental issue and anyone who sadly suffers with this will naturally feel anxious about going on holiday especially when the meds may not be working as well.
I start injections soon so hope these work for me.
I just wish I didn’t have UC and could live a normal
Life. Some people don’t realise how lucky they are
