Blood when I wipe but in remission
I’ve been diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis since I was 5 years old, I’m now 17
I was in remission from about 7-12 years old and was in a flare from 13-15. I’m now 17, about to turn 18 and have been in remission for about three years
I was on sulfasalazine since I was five but my doctor said it was okay to stop taking a few months ago after my scope came back great.
I’m on Entyvio and have been for two years now, I haven’t seen blood in my stools or when I wipe for three years but recently I noticed it again when I wipe and I’m terrified of getting back into a flare
I don’t have much stomach pain but I do still have some. It’s been about a week of the blood but I don’t think there has been blood every single time i’ve gone
I forgot what it felt like to have those small stomach pains and urgency to get to the bathroom I don’t want that to be my life again I don’t know what to do and i’m scared to tell my parents because then they’re gonna worry and mention it to my doctor should I wait it out and see if the blood consists for another few weeks?
I also forgot to mention i’m on entyvio every four weeks but was just moved to every 6 weeks, it’s been about 2 weeks since my last infusion
