Ulcerative Colitis - how do I manage the pain??

Saturday night I honestly thought I was dying. The pain was so awful I couldn’t get my breath and was sweating and shaking on the floor.

How am I supposed to be managing this at home by myself?? Has anyone got any suggestions or tips to manage severe pain? My GP has prescribed oral morphine but it didn’t make any difference on Saturday.

It's been some years since I would happily have carved my guts out with a spoon to stop it hurting. So handhold first

I found a hot water bottle soothing. Lying on my left side. Longer term I did the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. Bit extreme but I felt i had a measure of control

Do you have a consultant? An IBD nurse? Or is it all through the GP?
