Getting Married in to UC

Hello all.  I am getting married in less than three months and she has UC.  We just had a battle her's in the hospital for a week.  She is kinda ok right now, but I figured I'd get on here and learn how to help her cope with her sickness because it will be our sickness in 3 months.  I look forward to chatting with all y'all.

Hi and welcome! What a caring guy your fiance has found especially since you want to find out more about UC and how you can help her to feel better. It's tough enough for us to battle this disease, but it's even harder when our loved ones don't understand it so for you to take the time and research it is so wonderful. I know my boyfriend did that too, and I so appreciated it. When I'm feeling poorly, he usually takes over and lets me veg. Last time he took care of everything and put a movie on for me, let me sleep, and cooked dinner. Tab is right; we have a great forum of people here so if you have any questions, feel free to ask anything....we've heard it all! Take care, and congrats on the upcoming nuptials.

My ex was at the racetrack when I had to be taken to the ER and was originally diagnosed with UC. Hope your fiance knows what a great guy she has.

That is realy nice....I'm kinda the opposite situation as I have UC and my girlfriend and I are moving close to marriage. From a practical perspective, if you could have two bathrooms where you live together she could have one and you could have one. My girlfriend has two bathrooms and since the beginning, I've always used the one farthest away from the bedroom because I knew she rarely used that one. It just sort of became my bathroom so she never gives it any thought when I go to "my" bathroom. This is actually better for me than having her know I have symptoms or hear me in there. She knows I have UC but I feel better when the impact is minimized. Also I have an extremely strict diet that I stick to because of UC and she is a great cook and makes really tasty things that are still within my diet. When we eat dinner together, she has the same thing as I have and again, it's no big deal....So sometimes it's best to give her adequate privacy and space and try to make her feel like it's no big deal to you.

Best of luck.
