So awful have I got medication for your Ibd? I’m assuming it’s causing constipation due to the pain meds ? You may need a low dose laxative each day to keep you going. I have Ibs and Ibd so I feel your pain hun

Hi JDiva. I can totally relate. I have been in bed more in 2020 than out of bed. I seem to be in a constant 'flare' more fatigue than pain but now suffering a bout of dizziness. I spoke to Dr and upped my Duloxetine, but 4 weeks later no improvement. I have now booked an appointment hoping to get bloods checked. I think it is probably winter having an impact, but I am so fed up now. Typing this with shaky hands and restless arms, I am sure others can relate to this also.

Hope you feel better soon.

Have you optimum levels of vitamin D? Vitamin D, not a vitamin, regulates the immune system.

Hi, I was really bad for about a year and my rheumatologist saw me and was so shocked. It turned out my vit D levels were super low and my vit C was so low I was almost at the stage of scurvy!!! The skin is so dry and flakes off.ive been on vitamins now for a while and my skin has improved but the concern is I'm not absorbing them via my upper intestine so I'm just waiting on the results from that test. I'm still having dizzy spells and falls and just feel so weak. I'm in bed more than I'm out of it just utterly exhausted.

Yh my virimin d is really low theyve just given me some thing for that just feel like my body being attacked feel soo poorly im spending so much time in bed iv had enough i keep having dizzy spells n feeling feverish this not doing any good for my depression

[Vixen04 in reply to JDiva93]

Sounds familiar. I have dizzy spells and I'm so sick of being sick. I spoke to a psychiatrist the other day and he's planning on putting me on an antidepressant which specifically releases Seratonin which will help my mood. I hope they work and I'll popsy how it's working. Meanwhile we need to just keep going one day at a time xx

[Vixen04 in reply to JDiva93]

Yeah I'm in bed all th time and get the weirdest dizzy spells. I guess it's gonna take time for me to get better but they want to put me on Rituximab but my appt was cancelled thanks to COVID 19! Better safe than sorry I guess xxx
