Does anyone stay in bed on weekends during a flare?

I have ulcerative proctitis and I’m going through a minor flare. I have a demanding job during the week so on the weekends I want to meet up with friends or stay out late but during a flare I just want to stay in bed. Maybe with an edible to take my mind off the tenesmus. My doctor has me on mesalamine enemas and oral pills. Anyone else get like this during a flare?
