Sorry for the lack of updates this weekend, I’ve been sleeping for most of it and I had a bit of a busy morning today. So far, I’m doing ok although I had a bit of a weird stomach cramp this morning which woke me up about three times last night and was also the reason I struggled to go back to sleep after my fiance left for work. It was sort of stabbing around my naval and lasted for about a minute at a time. It went away after I had some tea so I don’t know if it was just that I needed to eat/drink something? I just hope it doesn’t happen again.

Other than that, I think I’m alright. I’ve been able to eat fairly normally today and my appetite is going back to normal I think. It feels a little weird to no long be taking so many meds each day but it’s also a relief; less to remember and worry about.

I’m not normally a big Christmas fan. Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas, but I’m not one to start decorating in November. I know this year is going to be stressful as it’s the first Christmas since my diagnosis and my parents are worried I won’t be able to eat much of what they usually cook for Christmas dinner. I’ve told them I should be fine so long as I’m not having a bad day (in which case, I’ll just avoid all veg and not have any pudding), but I can’t help but be a little worried that my UC may try and ruin it.
