Achy limbs and painful joints.

Posted , 2 users are following.

hello everyone. It is Christmas Day and I feel awful. I have UC but the gastro says it’s mild. I also have IBS C which I control with the fodmap diet. I am on 4000 Pentasa and one suppository at night. I also have other issues. A nodule in the pelvic area to be removed in January. An MRI in January too as I have an enlarged bile duct. Tablet for a hyper thyroid nodule. I have felt ill since September. I only saw the gastro on 21st. I have nausea and achy joints. Yesterday I saw blood on the paper for the first time in weeks. Compared to people with bags etc.. I guess mine is not bad but I feel so tired and unwell most days. I worry about cancer too as I had a borderline ovarian tumour removed in March. I’ve read that UC can cause rheumatic problems. What can I take for that? Paracetamol? So worried.

    Hi I have a diverticular colitis and mild UC too. I'm not feeling so good today myself. I think that the pressure of Christmas day can make things seem far far worse. I too see a little blood sometimes. Can't see why you can't take paracetamol. Don't worry. I'm sure that your other health issues are fine now. I too get some arthritis. Tension can make things worse. Nausea can be because you're worried. It happens to me and my son.
