I just got out of the hospital this afternoon. I went in for a test (sigmoidoscopy) Friday at 6:30am and the doc. said I have ulcerative colitis! He admitted me right then and there saying I was really very sick. I've never stayed in a hospital before at all and was having anxiety attacks too from being there (doc said). I was on a liquid diet from Thursday after my appt. to Monday when they said I could have toast. Hooked up to the IV since Tuesday. They said I'll be fine and don't know what caused it. They sent me home with five different med. pills that I have to take certain ones at certain times of the day for certain days... talk about counfsing!! I have to eat bland food like toast and chicken, etc. for awhile til the follow up appt. next Wednesday and see what the doc says. I can not believe this has happened to me! I was so scared and upset! I'm feeling better now...just light headed I guess from the meds or something.
Thank you ALL for your kindness and for caring so much and posting to me... I really appreciate your support.

Jane,
It will take time for your intestines to heal.
You sound like you need a new doctor
Hi Jane,
No, you don't need a new doctor.
Jane,
Hang in there.
