I was told it was genetic disposition. Other people talk of having trigger foods but I couldn't figure out mine but then again as I said I've only really had 3 or 4 attacks.

I mistook some crippling joint pain as gout, but it turns out I have autoimmune issues (my body is trying to kill me). RA by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44872 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Hope all works out alright Renty babes. I'm in for a spermatic cord denervation soon - sounds amazing. If anyone wants the nerves to sprinkle on their dinner, I can ask the consultant to keep them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got intermittent inflamed skin (eczema), lungs (asthma), joints (fuck knows), and now it transpires bowels (ulcerative colitis). The latter two are probably related, apparently. Autoimmune disaster area. Did you have the snip which went wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened for no apparent reason and was mostly ignored by numerous consultants until this last one or two. Have had a few procedures to date and this is (hopefully) the end game.

Remember a lad at school crumpled after a heavy challenge (or maybe a ball to the nads), anyway it turns out he suffered a testicular torsion. Needed surgery to put it back the right way, but that was asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just back from the dentist because of chronic tooth ache and apparently I'm likely to need a nerve removed then a crown. Oh, and then I got my hair cut. Some of my hair has just skipped the grey stage and just went pure white instead. At least I still have all my hair but have you noticed even millionaires can't get hold of hair dye that doesn't look ridiculous? Being middle aged is so shit.

adios 717 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Jaysus, you're all falling apart! I feel ten years younger and I've probably abused my body more than most. Well, there was that ICU/coma/multiple organ failure a couple years ago but I promise that was an anomaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Hog 518 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) You've got my sympathy Renton, took them the last couple of years of my teens and best part of my twenties to get my UC under control. Steroids, imuno-suppressants, ant-inflamitories and a some random other stuff too. Edit: Obviously Gemmill does too, a sore knacker is no fun. Tom too.

Sorry to hear that, I hope I don't get that bad. Only went to the GP because I had bleeding symptoms and was worried about cancer (an old class mate died of colorectal cancer this year, 46 ffs). Anyway, the symptoms had cleared well before the sigmoidoscopy, thought I was in the clear. But noooo..... apparently I have UC. Oh well, will find what this entails tomorrow. Better to find out I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
