Struggling with UC Flare: Seeking Advice

For nausea, zofran helped me! The sublingual type is best since you don’t have to swallow it

This is precisely what I went through!! My body didn’t respond to biologics and finally, my fever became so bad that I began having tachycardia. I was rushed to the hospital via ambulance and it took them days to stabilize me. I had lost so much blood that they had to give me 2 blood transfusions. It was then decided that it was necessary to remove my colon and leave me with a temporary ostomy. DO NOT BE SCARED OF THEM!!! My quality of life improved DRASTICALLY with my bag. I was able to live pain-free. I actually started college and did great… then COVID happened haha. Anyway, I kept my bag for 7 YEARS because I loved how I felt with it. I just got it completely reversed on the 4th of January and I’m doing very well! Definitely talk about the option of an ileostomy with your GI/surgeon. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me! I’m actually going to get a second degree in nursing so I can be an ostomy nurse. I’d be happy to answer any questions and help with whatever you need! Best of luck ❤️
