I’ve been diagnosed with UC more specifically ulcerative proctosigmoiditis since April of 21’ & I’m really just getting tired of trying new meds & dealing with my main symptom constipation & waiting to get in remission even tho it’s been over a year since I’ve been in clinical remission. I’ve posted in here before at times to vent but yea I’m just pooped of it all (no pun intended). I’ve been given prescription medications alongside my UC meds in the past & those never worked like lialda I think one was called, but yea enemas don’t work, senna pills at high doses like 12+, & miralax doesn’t really either. I always have to remind my gastroenterologist that it’s the inflammation & my long tortuous redundant colon that is the problem. I never get the urge to go & my brain is like not responsive to it if that makes sense. I know if one day it all gets better I will eventually be able to go but again I’m just tired of waiting. It’s not a great quality of life. All that I’ve been on btw is mesalamine, azothiroprine, inflectra but gave me drug induced lupus but even after being off that for a year now I’m still having issues so my rheumatologist says I have actual lupus at this point, Skyrizi, & now entyvio. I had my last colonoscopy at beginning of March & she said it was great just localized inflammation in colon. I’m just here venting at this point in bed trying to go to sleep but can’t I got a poop baby in me. At what point do I mention surgery? I see my Gastro next month, I’m on a waiting list to do pelvic floor therapy again as that did help in 22’ but who knows when that will be
