At last I have done it. I think that I have started a new thread. It is 11.30pm Saturday night here in Auckland New Zealand. I was lying in bed thinking about all of us and what we are going through. I have a feeling that there maybe someone out there who is experiencing the horrible results of this disease and is too embarresed to talk about it. Well I am going to share with you the most terrible thing that happened to me about 6 months ago. It is not very nice but if it helps someone to know that they are not the only one who has had this happen to them and that there is someone who understands what they are going through and it helps them I will tell you of the event that shocked the life out of me and I had to cope with it AND I DID BECAUSE I HAD TO!!!! There was no one here to help me. It was the middle of the night I felt as if I had diarreah (Icann't spell it} but was terribly terribly itchy. I was lying in bed and my feces started crawling up my back and itching me like nothing on earth. These things were crawling up my back!!!! almost up to my waist!!!! I didn't know what to do. I got out of bed had a bath and washed all this horrible mess of me. There were hundreds of these little things floating off me. I had to drain the bath and run another one to get myself clean. The itching was indescriable. It had also spread to my sheets so had to change them as well. I was SHOCKED OUT OF MY MIND. That this disgusting thing was happening to me. Well I got myself clean sprinkled myself and the clean sheets with talcum powder to take Away the horrible smell. But I will never never ever ever forget that night. That is why i am positive that apart from other places in our body these things breed in the bowel. I would bet my life and my dogs life on it. So if it has happened to anyone and you haven't spoken about it because it sounds too disgusting please know that you are not alone and it might make you feel better that this has happened to someone else!!! and if it is always in the back of your mind and you keep pushing it to the back it is always there and you want to off load share it tell us. If you would prefer email me at robbie26@xtra.co.nz or send a personal message through the board. If this has happened to you HANG IN THERE. The most important thing to do is to keep these things under control is to make a very big effort to cleanse your bowel everyday!!!!!!!! I send everyone loving thoughts. Roberta.
