Hey Marty, have you made progress? Are you in remission?
Posted 2/5/2012 1:30 AM (GMT 0)
I've gained long periods of remission. i'm 35 now i was 15 when officially diagnosed with UC. My longest remission lasted 5 years from the age of 16 to 21. 2010 was pretty bad and 2011 i had a continuos flare up for 6 months, but it was manageable. I was doing great from july11 to december 11 and i've been flaring quite bad since. back on pred @40mgs, with hopefully a 5mg taper weekly for 7 weeks.
I believe that stress is main factor in flare ups, well for me it is anyway. :)

I'm with you. Many people take out stress in their bodies many different ways, I unfortunately get gas, stomach aches, cramps when I have stress or anxiety about something. For a minute I did last night in a situation, but i told myself to relax and not make myself 'sick'. Good luck to you, glad you know how to work your body.

P.S. Love fatboyslim!
