Hi
I know there is advice online but from experience the forums and peoples lived experiences and tips have never let me down!
I recently underwent the drainage of two abscesses, one which caused a fistula, a few days ago. I’m just wanting to know anything you found helpful in your recovery? Things to avoid? Just your overall experience.
Just for context, diagnosed with UC when I was 15 never experienced any EIM like this before. Had an ileo-anal pouch when I was 21 however unfortunately they believe I’m experiencing pouch failure (had pouch 13 years but have severe pouchitis) and that is one of the complications. So I’m conscious this may not be my last/only abscess surgery.
Really appreciate sharing of any tips, challenges etc from those who have gone through this disease.
Thanks in advance
