AUTHOR: Loriuri
Thanks for your email. I think some days I'm in denial until I go to the washroom and I'm reminded. My doctor put me on hydrocrotisone enemas just this past week while in my 38th week of pregnancy. They definitely help but I still bleed once in a while. I feel robbed of my excitement with this pregnancy just because I want it over to deal with this other issue. The not knowing how far up my colon this has effected drives me crazy. My biggest fear is colon cancer! I have done quite a bit of research and they say that you are at greater risk for colon cancer if you have had the disease for 10 years or more and bad bouts of it. Good luck to you and thanks for the words of encouragement as far as the colonscopy goes. Were you under a general anesthetic or did they actually knock you right out for it? I'm dreading it.....My doctor also said that you can have one bout of colitis and it never returns, I'm going to hang on to that hope. You never realize how precious life is until your health is all of a sudden effected somehow. Can I ask also, how old are you? I also read that this disease starts quite young in some cases. I just wish I knew what caused it, that would make more sense to me.
