Biologics ruined my life

Hi . Scary isn't it . I've told my docs that my symptons are down to food allergy's but they won't test me for them . I've come off all meds becuase the pills they gave me first for UC were poisoning my liver so I found out becuase I had a random blood test so they moved me on to the amgevita injections witch I was on for 12 week (that is how long they take to shut your immune system down ) in the 12 weeks I had mouth ulsers so bad I could hardly eat , my legs came put in a reaction from the injections that hurt that much I could hardly walk then to top it off I ended up with a perianal absess as well that I igored becuase I was in that much pain everywere else I ended up being rushed into hospital with it and again I could hardly walk after having to have surgery for that this is while still battleing uc as well . Im off meds my bloods are back to normal and my stool inflammation was right back down in september when i did sample . Im not right still bit after stopping meds ive no blood in stool . Im not right as ive been suffering for 2 years trying to get it under control but im not taking meds that dont work and give me more problems and they did a blood test and found out the injections were not working either so not sure what actually made me a bit better but the side effects are worse than the origanal symptons . Hope you get sorted like I say if I could get my bowl momants to a routine I've cracked it pretty much my body clocks just all over with being in hospital amd off work so waking up in the night for toilet ect eating at different times ect . Hope you get sorted some how sorry if I rambled on :)
