Thank you for the introduction @lisalucier . Hello @janstur .
I read through your comment and do relate to quite a bit. I am not dealing with microscopic colitis…at this point I can’t tell you what I am dealing with. It gets exhausting and we can’t take any time off. I feel your pain through your words and I am so, so sorry. Keep going. No matter what, keep going! I am hopeful for you by the mere fact you found this group of caring folks.
For whatever reason my body has systemic problems that require a super high level, and uber consistent diet and exercise. It is scary to lose weight when you don’t want to. I keep thinking I’ll get a magic formula figured out and conquer it.
I had to look this up to learn a bit more about it so am including that link (now you know the extent of my knowledge). It sounds like there are a couple different types and I don’t think I saw you mentioned yours. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/microscopic-colitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20351478
What brought you to Connect? I am glad you are here.
You mention a colonoscopy provided a reset. Would it be worth asking your provider what about a colonoscopy would have helped, and would make it temporary?

Hi lisaluier,
Thank you for your kind words. I'm coming out of the flare-up and dealing with constipation. Much better! Fatigue is gone. Horrendous stomach aches are gone.
I'm so sorry for what you're going through. Have you been through all the testing? I think the colonoscopy basically cleans you out. I don't know if you've had one but the prep is basically poop your brains out to clear the colon before the test. I'm lucky I'm retired so I don't have to deal with work like you do. That must be so hard.
I have been all over the internet about this, ad nauseum. That's how I came across this website and I'm so glad I did! Hang in there.
