Has anyone been Diagnosed with UC but immune system reactivated after colon was removed?

I was diagnosed in 2010 with UC. For the next 2 years the disease was ruthless without full emission. In fact I kept getting hit by major life events that kept triggering my immune system ( father's death, car accidents, work place discrimination ect)

It seems like I couldn't get a break even after changing jobs. I wound up under a passive aggressive boss who took out his personal frustrations on me. Just my luck he had a 5 year EEO case against a white female and I was the only white female under him...go figure!

I tried my best to address the situation but like in all past work places it was "brushed under the carpet" because it made management look bad to have these problems. I tried leaving jobs that were abusive but my resume now looks a mess and everyone thinks it's me.

I had my colon completely removed in 2012 and then my anus on 2013. After a 5 year break and after a new abusive work situation I was told my blood tests shows signs of my immune system being active. I'm also suffering unspecified anxiety due to the resent way my manager AND HR handled the recent situation. I was the new person on the job but place on a team where the co-workers were 1/2 my age. The immaturity level was significant and I was being ostracized but my manager didn't do anything about it other than twist it around and try to make it my fault. The team dynamic were too extreme.

My GI told me there was a 10% chance it "could be Crohn's". If so, I'm dead in the water. I couldn't tolerate the low end medications and my liver and pancreas were starting to fail after 2 years. My first dose of Asacol left me in bed for 3 days! I spent my evening in the ER due to dehydration and nausea. Having this return is realizing my greatest fear.

I fear that my immune system is "trained" to react one way when it come to being mistreated. It was the way I was raised..emotionally abused by my mother and physically abused by my sister. .

Has anyone else also experience this after being diagnosed with UC and having their colon removed? Did it return and act in the same manner or was it different?

I found out how to have my DNA results analyzed through www.promethease.com. I have DNA data from 23andMe and Ancestry.com

I uploaded the 23andMe data and the results came out different. The 23andMe DNA within the autoimmune disease category showed a 23% change for RA, 3% for Crohn's, and something like 0.06% for UC. The Promethease results came back and targeted Crohn's. Yup..it's possible it was Crohn's all along. I'm just trying to adjust to my new reality. Now only if I could get people from beating up on me.

As for Pred...It did no good for me considering uncontrollable life events. Just as I was about to taper from 40mg, I was re-ended in a car accident and my symptoms got worst. I wound up not being able to get off Pred until after my surgery.

It seems like my body reacts to blindsiding, gaslighting, and being ostracized..all of which happens to me at work even after changing jobs. When I try to self manage these situations and deal with the issue directly, I get labeled as being "overly emotional, too sensitive, and having hurt feelings". People don't get it that I have a medical condition that negatively respond to this type of repetitive and cruel/abusive treatment. It's gotten worst over the years too. I think social media has desensitized us.

Thank for responding Nice Cup of Tea. I am in therapy and been told I’m doing everything possible. I do have a healthy relationship with my husband. We’ve been married for 18 year plus 5 years dating. I’ve come a long way in developing healthy relationships. The relationship issues are with people who don’t know me or understand how being mistreated affects me physically. I had to put an end to abusive relationships such as with my mom and sister.

It’s also helpful to know I may be ok on the other classes of meds. I honestly don’t have another choice.
