2 Unusual Symptoms of Ulcerative Colitis

Normal but Uncommon Ulcerative Colitis Symtpoms

For the past two weeks I have begun to notice a major uptick in the amount of sweat that comes out of me while I lay sleeping at night. This has hit me as quite strange because my ulcerative colitis symptoms are nearly gone. what I am talking about is the more typical runny bowels and bleeding and cramping. So, why would I be doing this sweating thing while everything else is quiet? It turns out that people who have inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis often do sweat more than others at nighttime. there is not yet any scientific data that suggests the exact reason why this occurs, but this type of ulcerative colitis symptom is not held by just a few patients. I am not too worried anymore, but it sure would be nice for the night sweats to just go away. We will see if that happens once I stop the use of prednisolone steroids.

Another strange symptom of ulcerative colitis random but very painful headaches. they are also rare, but often ulcerative colitis patients who have never really had headaches before will have some very painful all day headaches out of nowhere after being diagnosed. there is always the chance that these are due to side effects from medication, but that is not always the case either. make sure to speak with your gastro doctor before you start taking pain medication for headaches, as there is a chance that they will interfere with your ulcerative colitis disease.
