I have a Vivoactive 5 that I wear all the time, but recently got a deal on a Vivomove Style that I figured I'd wear occasionally to work and events. I understand it's only partially compatible, and I get that all my metrics aren't going to sync, but I thought the Body Battery would calculate in Connect?

I've only worn it twice, and both times show my stress level go really high and then my body battery drains to 5 within 30 minutes in Connect. I've tried rebooting and syncing everything, but it happened again today.

Do I need to wear it more to calibrate, or do these two devices just cancel each other out?

Wondering if anyone experiences this (hope it makes sense)...

My spouse has pointed out that our sex life has dwindled a lot over the last year, starting around my last flare. Although I got the GI symptoms under control, I'm still really battling fatigue, and kept using that as a reason to them and myself as to why I never initiated and often avoided advances.

But I've realized that it's gone from "I would if I had the energy" to almost like an aversion to anything sexual (despite still absolutely finding my spouse sexy). I think it might be because my brain is associating ANY feeling in that general region with a flare and causes physical discomfort and anxiety. It's like wires got crossed, and I don't know how to uncross them.

I'm 14 weeks into Skyrizi, with Uceris foam, after failing a bunch of other meds. Said if this didn't work, I was getting surgery. At this point, the GI stuff is pretty minimal. Told to just keep doing the Skyrizi and Uceris combo. Mild bleeding, some urgency, and if that was it I'd be fine with it. But it's the brain unpredictable fatigue that's been ruining the last decade of my life and has gotten much worse over the last year.

Just had a colonoscopy that still showed mild inflammation. My doctor said it wasn't enough to be the cause of my fatigue, and is basically punting things back to my family doctor, who assumed UC because otherwise, everything looks great (blood work, sleep test).

Obviously, I'd hate to do the surgery and still end up with no energy. But isn't fatigue, even in remission, a super common symptom of UC?
