i was admitted to the hospital in 2001 with UC, had no idea what was wrong, just had diarrhea and blood for a month, stubborn me, being a nurse decided it was some bacterial infection and tried antibiotics from work.So i was on IV steroids and thought they were going to place colostomy, but got better and went home...weaned off steroids and have not had one flare up since !!!Until last week out of nowhere , and its severe. I cant go to the doctor until 12/01/12 due to aflac benefits would be denied prior to then, so anyway, i started on prednisone 40 mgs and asacol 2 tabs three times a day until i get to MD. I know he will do ct scan and colonoscopy, so i am grateful to have insurance ! i went without it from 2008 thru 2012. God is so good! He kept me healthy as a horse that whole time. I will be visiting this forum regularly and happy to have a support system ! Happy Thanksgiving !!!
