I am going to ask a dumb question.

I am newly diagnosed and my doc did not explain this to me. What is a flair?

A flare would be when you have UC symptoms.
Remission would be when you have NO (or managable) symptoms.

So, bleeding, urgency, frequency, cramping, etc all point to flares.

I just wanted to add on here - there is NO such thing as a dumb question. If you don't ask, you can't learn right? And I second the welcome to Healingwell :)

Thanks Sherry! I appreciate your answer. Oh yeah, I have asthma also, but I am doing great! I am blessed!
