When I first got diagnosed with UC I was 12 years old, I was in a battle with getting my UC under control but was not responding to any of the meds. The inflammation raged on, I was in the hospital for weeks, until my doctors and parents decided it was necessary to do a total colectomy. The time leading up to my diagnosis I was having bleeding analy during my menstrual periods, which had gotten significantly worse around the time.
After I had my surgery I was still having these terrible menstrual cycles, which include heavy flow, watery j pouch output, nausea and vomitting and dizziness, sometime near sycope (or passing out).
My gynecologist told me to go on birth control and take Aleve and was absolutely no help.
I was just wondering: do any of you ladies feel this too? Am I the only one? And is it somehow related to the J Pouch or am I just cursed with bad periods?
