My theory on The Twins.

This is heavily inspired by a lot of other theories that have been around, but I don't think it's been explored much.

The Twins are, in my opinion, the previous favourites of Leslie. They don't appear in the same way as any of the Teachers, they just barge their way in from Outside. I think Leslie used them to play out a "real" family, and they became obsessed once they lost the mother. Is it possible that Leslie took the mother away after David died?

The archetypal mother (who's game piece is an Earth Mother?) doesn't fit in the family anymore. Why not? In my opinion, the Mother was taken away because she no longer fit the role. She'd failed to be Mother. Unfort

Basically I'm visiting friends in London right now so we've been eating at restaurants a lot. After all the processed food I really wanted something fresh so decided to order ceviche last night, and now I have pain and diarrhoea (I came out of a flare recently). How do people generally cope with raw/cured fish?

Fancy a burger?

Sure, but I'm Veggie today

Fries are still a must.

I posted a little while ago about loved ones being concerned for me because of my pain. The pain is worse and has now spread into my loin area - the online symptom thing I use says I should call the non-emeegency line, but I'm genuinely worried that it's not that bad and I'll just waste peoples time. I'm also aware that the worsening is totally my fault because I forgot to renew a mesalazine prescription so I've been without for a few days so I'm pretty sure they'll just tell me off.

Not sure if I need advice or support, but I definitely need to hear from the UC community.

Sorry for the essay.

So I've been in a flare for a couple of weeks now. I've been flipping between passing nothing but mucous and poo pebbles and very loose stool. I left a message with the ibd team last week but slept through their call back to me (yay fatigue) and I'm waiting for another call back.

The pain today has been quite bad and there's been more blood than usual. People are trying to persuade me to call 111 or an out of hours service, but I'm reluctant because every time I've done that in the past a well-meaning but inexperienced (with colitis) doctor has sent me to hospital just in case. Every single time has resulted in a week in hospital with a drip in my arm and a camera up
