Thanks, SueMac, Yes, Cathy (my remaining cat) is adapting, and I feel less sad, though I still miss Katy (who passed away). In general I am doing better, and find that a daily swim in the local pool is the best treatment for what's left of my AF. Hope you are keeping well, too.

That sounds good all round dmcff. Swimming is a great sport in many ways, I unfortunately cannot get to a pool as often as I’d like. It certainly sounds like in general you are doing better. I think I am too!

Flear up time and caused by slow fudgy bm so not even hard bm. Feeling really down today.

Sorry to hear it, missy. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks today wasn't as bad. Hope your doing ok aswel.

Hi missy- I missed this post. I hope it is better now? I’ve been away for a long weekend and it’s caused very hard bm causing discomfort after which is so frustrating and not helped for a relaxing break. So I do sympathise. It can come out of the blue.

I’ve just seen this too Missy. Sorry you’re having a flare up. Im also having one. I can’t wait to visit the surgeon in a few weeks. Not sure how we’re going to manage it!

that's hard

How are people faring ? Have the flare ups eased at all? Now I’m back from my trip my hard bms have softened - I feel cheated. Every time I go away I suffer from hard bm and not being able to go. I come home and I am fine again. It must be psychological but I don’t know how to stop it.

I'm sorry your going through that suemac i hope things are a bit better now. I'm doing better over all. I hope you atleast had a nice long weekend
