I am just curious here so indulge me for a bit eh?  :-)

The question is:

How old are you now?  And at what age were you diagnosed?  I'm not talking about at what age did your symptoms present themselves but actually how old you were when they said yup - you have Uc.  Because I know many of us have had symptoms way before we even knew anything was wrong and many of us have gone years being misdiagnosed.

Let's see..........I am 48 now.  I was dx'd at 21 years of age.  So that means that I've had UC longer than I haven't. yeah I was lucky enough to get it once I quit smoking and was planning my wedding.  Oh what fun.........But, hey, things could be worse.
