LutherMaze welcome to this site.

We also now have a forum here for health issues, as you know our health has a huge impact on our state of mind. The health forum here didn't exist when purlple posted her messages. I have had colitis since I was a teenager, although it is under control now I can really relate strongly as the condition is so similar. It had me hospitalized several times and near death a few. During those times I wasn't hospitalized I had the same problems with regard to leaving the house. It truly becomes a state of mind, not just a physical necessity. There's a need to always have a comfortable, familiar, "safe" bathroom at arm's reach. And no will to put effort into anything that has to be finished in one sitting... like television, because it is guaranteed that you will be interupted while watching.

Thank you for posting that help site... we don't allow posts that are promoting or advertising other websites but a link to a site that might be helpful in the context of a thread is welcome.

I hope you find the forums here helpful, as I do.
