Well yesterday I had such a bad time with my stomach.. followed by the whole night of just... weakness. I felt like passing out all of last night. I know that was probably from dehydration though.

Today everything was fine.. went to work, about an hour before my shift was over I started getting so shaky I couldn't control myself. I couldn't stop so I took a break just to sit down. I got home and I've gotten the shakes to go away, but now I'm just so drained of energy I feel so entirely weak. I don't know what the reason is. Can UC cause intense fatigue or weakness?

Sometimes I get the shakes, and get weak, but havn't been tired, maybe others here can explain why, I would like to know too.

So how are you feeling tonight ?

I have to add...what meds are you on? I know with pred I can't go too long without potassium before I start feeling shaky.

or it could be anxiety, considering the wedding is just a short time away.

But....are you eating enough? Getting enough protein?

*Heather*Status:mini flare June 23* 6asacol daily+ Salofalk (tapered every 3rd night)

~diagnosed January 1989 UC (proctosigmoiditis)

~5ASA: Asacol + Salofalk enemas (increase for flares tapered to maintenance)

~Bentylol (dicyclomine) 20mg as needed

~vitamins/minerals

~Probiotic 2 (Natural Factors Protec) + 1 (Primadophilus Reuteri) at bedtime

My doc's logic.. "TREAT (FROM)BOTH ENDS" worth it !!!
