I'm back from vaca. Doing fine

Hi All, I went to Fl for a week and boy did I ever feel happy! It helped out my gut so much waking up to sunshine, room service and walk about the town. I'm considering moving should I get some "extra large sum of cash". I don't want to struggle or get into a job that's hard and stressful. Last week I didn't have a computer, didn't watch the news, didn't drive a car for 5 days omg it was awesome! Iwent to Key West but that's not where I would live, too many people. I would like a small beach town.

Happiness means everything for my UC, it really does. If the gut is smiling so is my colon. It takes the worry and thoughts of me and I enjoy life!

I'm haven't been on any uc meds since October 12th when I got off Imuran. I'm having no side effects from medication makes me feel so much better. I was having bad aniexty or nervousness from the 5 asa and imuran. Always on edge and not relaxed in any way!

I'm currently taking candida freedom, candida digest and culterelle at night with my chewable Alive multi. I will get back to adding my Vit D and Vit K to day at dinner.

I'm NOT perfect and I only "dump" in the morning and maybe sometimes at night I go. I don't go during the day usually either. Yes I still have some blood. So I'm going to try med free for a while because Humira has been ordered for me and I"m passing on it for a while. I feel sane when I don't have medication in me. Glad to be back with you all!

Hi GG, I hope you're feeling better really soon! Sounds like you're having a tough time lately, you're in my thoughts and prayers!

Glad you enjoyed your vacay. I live in a tiny beach town on the west coast of FL.
Florida is huge with a lot of coastline and many places to choose from. Next time maybe drive around and visit different places for 1-2 days per city, that's how we found our perfect spot.

Half the year is very hot so be sure you like heat (we do but in late Sept it gets old). It is relentlessly sunny here in the south of Florida. Still didn't prevent my getting UC but sunshine is better than gray days.

Miracles,

So happy for you! Wonderful update.

Quick question: Why are you off Imuran? Did it work (it appears so). Just asking b/c I start it today. I thought once you were on it, you were on it for good if it worked. I'd love to be wrong about that

Low stress = happy colon , this seems to be the case for me too at times.
