January: Inflammation in rectum reduced from 6 inches to 2 inches. Looking positive
March: began going to the toilet up to 15 times a day. Began course of suppositories which caused a lot of discomfort and distress. Anaemia began. Had first accident at school which lead to an episode of self-harm at home. Put on first course of steroids that week.
April: anaemia worsened and i began very pail. Full colonoscopy showed a full metre of large colon inflamed and diagnosed with extreme Ulcerative Colitis. Increased steroids and other tablets-tablet count at 30+.
June: continued decreasing steroids and symptoms reduced and improved. As my dad put it "to us it seemed that the worse must be over"
July: belly pains began at end of holiday on Spain and blood began soon after. Contacted doctor who put me back on small dose of steroids.
August: no improvement with steroids so increased. Also increase azathioprine drug. As month continued, colitis worsened. Put on £600 fortnightly jabs which should work.
September: jabs didn't work.
October: admitted into hospital for bad flare up and kidney stone caused by colitis.
November: Dr tells me i need surgery. Admitted into hospital november 13th-operation conducted on november 16th; full colectomy.
December: living with a mucus fistula and a stoma. No large bowel so no colitis in that area. Potentially still some in rectum so continuing course of suppositories.
LETS SEE WHAT 2014 HAS TO OFFER EH.
