In your experience, does exercise make your flare ups worse or do you prefer to rest your body during flares?
I'm a 3-yr UC patient. Think I've got a flare about to begin. In remission for a little over a year. Hospitalized for 10 days during last flare, bad experience.
Just curious what your take is on resting vs jogging while in a flare up.

Thanks for your input! I agree, when I was in full flare, I'd go jogging and about have a mishap every time I was out there. So I stopped. Then, as I was slowly going into remission, my body was so weak and beat up that I couldn't even think of going for a jog. It was too much. It's just one of those things, since all of us have different experiences, I was wondering how it affects others. But I agree, jogging is rather high impact (even as slow as I am).
I hope you're on your way to remission. Sounds like you've been at it for a long time, that sucks.

I would kill to exercise right now. When I have a flare up (I have UC), exercise is not an option, especially jogging. The high impact irritates my stomach really bad. I take it as easy as I can, but its been a rocky road to recovery. I lead an active lifestyle, working 60+hrs/week which I think may have to do with my slow recovery. Its been six months, but I feel like I'm almost ready to go for a run.....SO CLOSE! :-D
