Ok, since i am so new to this, i still don't understand all they symptoms, but i have been having severe pains in my hands, especially my left hand which is the hand i use, it sometimes just feels like nails are being driven into my hand, and my arthritis has just flaired up...

Also trying to get use to the stomach pains...
I allready hate this disorder.

I never had pain in the hands, mostly in the legs. Not sure what causes them. The pains in your stomach area are from the inflamation. I am sorry that you can not begin the meds. I was on an enema for a while too. I just hope you can get some relief. You are not alone. Feel free to email if needed. Take care.

Look up UC and arthritis by RaiderJeff. He's got a good list of replies about arthritis and suggestions for management... If I knew how to link it to this reply i would sorry :D

The stomach pains, well... Mine go away if I keep my stress levels low (Ha, easy right!) but really, the lower my stress, the more manageable my disease. There are also a few postings of probiotics if you aren't familiar with them, they were a lifesaver for me.

Hang in there, you will get through it and you will get the hang of listening to your body :)
