Fear of flaring

I kept waking up last night due to cramps. I thought, "Oh, no. My Colitis symptoms are coming back." It turned out I have my period. I know I shouldn't complain. At least I'm not flaring; however, I wish I wasn't always looking for the slightest indication that I might start to flare again. I wish I could just live life like before I ever got Colitis.

I have faith that eventually life will return to normal. As the growing advances in the medical field will eventually find the root of this disease and one day cure it. Remember, there is always hope.
