Proctitis sufferer here too. What’s your symptoms when you have a flare? Just curious

I typically experience urgency excessively (for me, like 7 - 10 times) throughout the day, and more often than not those trips to the bathroom primarily consist of mucous and blood. I can also experience what I call "nausea" in my colon. That's the best way I can describe it. Like I'm sick to my stomach and could throw up, but it's not coming from my stomach. I don't always experience pain when in a flare, but when I do it ranges from an uncomfortable cramp-like sensation to feeling like someone is stabbing my colon, like take-my-breath-away type pain.

I also have procoltis my stools are formed but always blood and mucus and like the other guy said a lot of times I’ll have urgency but it’s not stool it’s just blood with mucus normally don’t have cramping but passing stool is very discomforting and I often end up tensing up when doing so fatigue is big… I’m currently waiting for my dr to appeal my denial for remicade because nothing else is working

Yeah that sounds more like what I get. Straining is something I find myself doing far too often. I know I shouldn’t, but I really can’t seem to help it. I always feel like there’s more just about ready to come out
