diagnosed with sever uc, symptoms have always been there. Today though at work i started to get sharp pain everywhere, guessing ulcers. And everything is swollen more then usual. My question is; When does a person know when to go to the hospital during a flare? Also just started drinking inner aloe vera past week, should I stop?

Unfortunately, unless you are dying due to something like blood loss or something else, you can't really expect the ER to do anything for you. It's usually a waste of time. They are only trained to keep people alive, not to be your GI.

the best thing about going to the er is it typically puts you on a fast track to see a GI -
