Today I had a doctors appointment (about a 1 hour drive from my house) I have moderate UC, and on the way, I suddenly really had to use the restroom. If you’ve had to deal with any irritable bowel disease, first of all, I am so sorry and I hope treatment is going well. When I need to use the restroom, I absolutely cannot wait. We pulled into a gas station; no public restroom. The same goes for the next few places we try. At that point it was too late… I finally found a place and was able to change but it was so terrible and gross and I just wanted to scream out of total frustration. I’m so tired of this disease and having accidents in public settings because I can’t get to a restroom fast enough. I have a card that I’m able to show to gain access to private restrooms, but I’ve found I’m too anxious to use it. I’ve been feeling like this disease is burdening my family with all the time we have to put towards getting me to remission even though Humira hasn’t worked for me. I’ve had thoughts that maybe if I just wasn’t around anymore, I wouldn’t be such a hassle.
