Guest guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 HM, When I was really unwell with my UC I turned a pale/green and I didn't think that I was bleeding but apparently there was blood coming out (I just didn't see it) and I was that colour because I'd lost too much blood. I didn't want to eat or drink very much and was pretty tired all the time. When we called my doc, he had me go into the emergency room immediately and I was admitted to the hospital for the next 10 days and had to be given a transfusion. I'm not necessarily saying that's what's happening with you but it sounds familiar to me. It sounds like it *could* be a seriously flare that you might want to get help for immediately.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 HM, I would second Stacey here, and suggest that it also could be an infection perhaps. I think it's gone on so long now that you really better get this one checked out and right now. Then you can start feeling better soon, we hope.
