The plus side of being ill! - Page 2

Well, when I was ill 10 years ago with ulcerative colitis, I lost 3.5 stone in 4 (yes four) weeks. My body was using its own muscle to live on cos I was very fit at the time and had low body fat.

I also had toxic megacolon, and perotinitis. 1 in 3 die from toxic megacolon.

Then they took my colon out.

And then, 11 weeks later I was back out on my Kona MTB in the Peak district, beating people up hills! (cos I was lighter). I was slower down hills, though, I just didn't have the guts for it any more.
