Colitis - Flare up
Well my body has decided to remind me that I suffer from Colitis this week. I felt ok at the start of last week and did a 17 mile run. That evening after entering the Ironman I had a not so good feeling deep in by bowel. Its hard to describe how it feels but its very uncomfortable, and a feeling I have come to know as the start of a "flare up". I thought I would try and ride it out without the use of the extra medication and just continue with the 3 doses a day of the standard medicine. Things seemed to be settling down again but then Saturday came and I just felt totally rubbish. I have given up holding out as I don't want things to get worse and have decided to take the extra medication. Hopefully this will settle things down quite quickly as I haven't got time to waste with the impending Ironman. The next concern is the extra medication kills off my immune system so I know that a cold/flu is on the way. Not ideal really but hopefully with it being now I will have time to get over it and get on with training. Another sad time in the life of Daz :-(
