▲ 5 r/IBD
I (38F) recently got diagnosed with IBD - ulcerative colitis and since then I have noticed my health has taken a nose dive.
Around the same time as my symptoms I have had intense leg pains mostly when ovulation and on my period but it’s now doing it nearly everyday (I have had a scan on my female reproductive system and everything is all clear) and I then got a UTI which is the most extreme pain I’ve ever felt.
Is it normal for your health to take a complete bad turn? I know that when you had IBD your immunity is low and I am on antibiotics for my UTI and pentasa for my IBD, is there anything else I can do that can help boost my immune system?
I am just so exhausted of the constant pain from everywhere atm.
